Abel Gonzales Jr., inventor of Fried Coke, Fried Cookie Dough, and Fried Peanut butter, Jelly and Banana Sandwiches has managed to one-up himself once again.  He will be unveiling his new Deep Fried Butter this month at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas.  The fair can be seen as the one-stop shop for fried confectionaries and a cardiologist’s worst nightmare.

The first method involves baking (yes, baking)  the eggs for half an hour at 325 degrees.  Full instructions can be found here.
The second method involves boiling the eggs quickly, covering and removing the pot …

Flaky, yet firm.  Mild yet flavorful.  Plentiful and sustainable.  Farmed rainbow trout is a great fish to include in the weekly diet, but many home cooks tend to avoid it because thin filets of fish can be intimidating to cook.  Either the fish results in being too dry, or it breaks up into pieces before it ends up on the plate.  Rainbow trout is available year-long in most supermarkets and filets usually weigh in at around 4 ounces, which is a perfect serving size.  While baking is a viable method, …

Ever since I went gluten-free almost two months ago, I had to give up the one condiment that I grew up with, soy sauce.  Most varieties of soy sauce found on store shelves contain wheat, so those who are sensitive to gluten are unable to partake on the savory goodness.  After a month of not eating soy sauce, the cravings started to set in and the search for gluten free soy sauce began.  I was surprised by the search results for “gluten-free soy sauce.”  I wasn’t able to find …
