We don't live in outer mongolia but in terms of food, yeah, we do. The local restaurants are best if they are the pizza joints. The others, especially the ones that have illusions of haute cuisine, are not worth the trip down the...

Yummmm, you know you love grilling, especially when certain vegetables like asparagus are so fresh. Its also nice to stand outside and cook instead of at the same old stove. Fresh air, fresh food, the quiet of the backyard, cant get better than that. What CAN get better is my technique and grilling know-how....

[Like me, you may not have known that the merry month of May is actually National BBQ Month! While it is apropos to this post, it was not planned. Let the grilling commence!] Now that it is warming up, I have been thinking about grilling but the thought of another dried out chicken breast...

I found these really cute sushi soaps at The Paper Source and thought I would share. One day, I spent a couple of hours driving around looking for some guest soaps for the bathroom and find NONE! I was so darn frustrated. With these soaps you can satisfy the need to spiffy up the bathroom for...

(Sample of pan seared tuna) If you can believe it, I have even more photos from the IBSS. This set today is from a cooking demonstration at the cooking theater that day. The Phillips Seafood Company had some of their corporate chefs cooking up some of their products. My feet were screaming for...

I was walking through the IBSS and came across some Southeast Asian seafood purveyors who had some interesting displays, this one included. These animals are much larger than most shrimp, you would likely need two hands to hold one...

When my daughter and I went to the 2007 International Boston Seafood Show this last Monday, we got to meet Kathy Maister and Stephen from startcooking.com and stephencooks.com respectively. Wow, what a couple of awesome foodies and food bloggers. We were chatting (after various mishaps in trying to find one another in that...

I am now processing some of the photos I took at the International Boston Seafood Show of 2007. Here are a couple fun shots of a motorcycle tricked out to look sorta like a shark and fish. Its sorta reminiscent of the fish car I shot at last year’s show. Much more later. Technorati Tags: International Boston Seafood Show,...

Last year the kind people at the International Boston Seafood Show gave me a press pass so that I could cover this event for the Well Fed Network. I wrote an article for the Growers & Grocer’s blog (article link) and a few for this blog (Auto-design that has gone to the fishes, Ducktrap...
