When drooling over photos at foodgawker a couple days ago (they must be sick of seeing my photos there: 22 of the 48 ‘most gawked in the last 7 days’ photos were mine. Crazy!) I was inspired by some of the potato photos I saw. It was 9am on a Monday morning when this recipe popped into my head. Not the best time ever. It hit me totally unexpected. Heck,…
Marinaded Entrecôte
Few things in life are better than a good entrecôte—provided it’s cooked properly, of course.

I have two kitchen cabinets completely stuffed with spices (somewhere between 100 and 150 spices, anywhere from salt & pepper to exclusive Indonesian spices). Told you I have issues! I often buy my spices on the market. But when given the chance, I’d rather shop around those beautiful, authentic Chinese,…
