Ancho Seasoned Swordfish Skewers Done Right
I realize it’s St. Patricks Day and yes. I’m Scots-Irish (on the Presbyterian side). I just don’t do the St. Patty’s Day thing. I like my beer, Guiness included, although I personally prefer Wexford Irish Cream Ale. I like corn beef & cabbage, which, by the way, isn’t really Irish. Nor is the Reuben sandwich (originating in Omaha, Neb) which many people eat on St. Patty’s Day because it has corn beef. Sheesh! I also don’t run around with a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” T-Shirt on this hallowed day. So, forgive me if this post isn’t about stereotypical Irish nonsense. Instead, we are having remarkable weather in DFW. Yesterday it was 80 F and my pear tree is in full bloom.
How can you not grill when it’s 80 F and beautiful, blue, sunny skies? This is perfect grilling weather! At least I put a little green on the dish to assuage the concerns of my non Irish brethren. Continue reading Ancho Seasoned Swordfish Skewers Done Right

Tomato & Red Wine Braised Octopus over Linguini
It’s been a while since we had octopus. In fact, we haven’t had octopus since my sous vide disaster with it last June. I still haven’t figured out that disaster to attempt it again. Instead, I have been having way too much fun making homemade pasta. Thanks, John & Stefan. I had forgotten how good fresh made pasta is. This is the third batch of pasta in the 3 weeks. The star of this story, however, is the octopus. Continue reading Tomato & Red Wine Braised Octopus over Linguini
