Pasta goes so well with so many things. Different meats and vegetables get highlighted and given depth with the starchy goodness. And since pasta comes in so many shapes and sizes, you can customize nearly every meal to individual tastes.

I'd like to say I miss this after moving to the PNW, but the quiet at night says otherwise.

As a kid, my grandmother would always have tamales whenever I would visit. Granted, her tamales came from a can, but I loved peeling away the paper and eating them – as many I could – without knowing how they were truly made. These days, I prefer my tamales in pie form. Just as delicious without the corn husks.

Next destination is in West Seattle. C&P Coffee Company sits inside a renovated home and is quite charming. Smooth latte. ☕️

Pimento cheese soufflé smells great, tastes better, but deflates fast. Get that picture as soon as it comes out of the oven!

that was fast but not unexpected. the LEGO Ideas Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale set is on backorder. we nerds and geeks don't mess around when it comes to really cool stuff.

Look, I appreciate smokers and grills for ribs just as much as the next person. But there are limits to what temperatures I am willing to endure to stand outside next to the grill, especially when I can make something delicious by using my slow cooker.

Borderlands 3 and all the DLC are now finished. They tugged on the heartstrings more than previous titles. Looking forward to Borderlands 4 when it is ready, but Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is still out there for me now.

Why just have chicken Parmesan when you can have chicken Parmesan meatballs with a homemade tomato sauce? Thanks Alton Brown 😱

Risotto has such a luxurious mouthfeel when done properly. I have struggled with heat and liquid addition in the past, but by taking my time and showing patience, you can achieve rice nirvana as well. Arborio rice seems to make the best risotto.

We visited Triple XXX as our first restaurant in the area when we moved to the PNW a couple of years ago. Great food and experience. Disappointed in the (temporary) closure but excited to see what Burgermaster does with the location. Still need to try their food though.

This corn and rice casserole was the perfect companion for Rothe Steak from cookbook.

Chicken sandwiches always seem to have the most variety. You can do so many things with the bird and still have a great meal. How you make (or buy) your pesto will really change the flavor of the sandwich!

Living with someone who is such a talented baker is a godsend. Blueberry cake is light and fruity.

In the middle of making it, I called an audible. I do not regret the change. Baked pasta with sausage, peppers, tomatoes, and onion. All covered in mozzarella cheese. Paired with wine from a dear friend.

The quintessential American meal is some variation of meat and potatoes. It can be found on every menu and in every restaurant. While splitting them up might be sacrilege to some, either can stand on its own and shine. These baked potatoes are great as an entrée but pairing them with a strip loin steak is a delight.

I love soups and stews. The bringing together of flavors and the aromas they create while cooking are evocative and enticing. This Italian soup reminds me of home and comfort. It is remarkably easy to make, and it will bring the feeling of warmth to your place.

GODZILLA x Kong: The New Empire was amazing. The fight scenes, scenery, music was all spot on. Godzilla is truly the King of the Monsters. And him napping in the Colosseum in Rome is just the most adorable thing.
