Piri Piri Style Chicken
I put this forking photo up on twitter and it got retweeted to 44,370 people. It came out forking great! Piri Piri is basically a spicy red pepper sauce that you also use as a marinade and let sit overnight and then cook the chicken. I served mine with my new favorite grain freekah and roasted vegetables. I’ll post the forking recipe this week.

Sabortooth Grill San Diego Zoo
I didn’t plan my day well and was on this end of the zoo at lunch time. We waited in the forking long line for quite a while for sandwiches that forking took me back to the days of disco, polyester and days of eating processed food. Yum yum what to get? Do I want leftover fried, now cold, chicken in a big wrap with forking mystery sauce or a boxed very uninteresting salad. For some odd reason the grilled chicken sandwich with some guacamole sounded good to me so that’s what I ordered. Sadly the chicken sandwich didn’t live up to my only average dreams. This chicken sandwich tasted like an On Cor frozen processed chicken patty but worst. It seemed like a large dump truck forking unloaded a pile of salt on it. I thought I was forking going to get sick. The onion rings were very crispy and reminded me of Burger King. The slime like guacamole reminded me of pond scum and actually might have been forking pond scum. I thought the house made pear ketchup sounded good but sadly it just tasted like watered down generic ketchup. Nothing on my plate was worth a fork.
My husband just had a mediocre cheese burger. He said it was cheap cheese on dry chewy burgers but it was what he expected.
Not Worth a Fork
In Old Town San Diego were all the tourist shops are many mostly Mexican Restaurants.
Grilled Salmon Tacos from Barra Barra Saloon San Diego
This one restaurant had a nicer menu than most of the others and looked more inviting so we stopped there. I read that they forking make all their own tortillas. That sounds good right! We had some service issues here and would up waiting for our order for an hour at lunch time making us feel like prisoners in jail. We recieved several forking apologies from our waiter. My tacos really weren’t forking terrible, they really were just ok. The waiter told me they usually use forking pre-cooked salmon and ran out and had to cook some for me so the tacos were ok. However the corn salad and beans were forking gross. The corn in my corn salad were soggy with the forking centers of the corn missing. I don’t know if that is from being overcooked or old? All I know is that they were forking not fit for prisoners. I don’t know how they flavored the vegetarian beans but they tasted like dirt maybe it was forking dirt?
My husband thought his plate of food wasn’t worth a fork either. He had some sort of combo plate. He said, the sausage was burnt, the chicken was dry and the pork was flavorless. He did say the beef was good. Well at least something was good.
Not Worth a Fork
I heard about the most anticipated new restaurant opening and it was a Seafood House so we forking went there. It was a beautiful restaurant that was new but looked very old fashioned. The help seemed very polished. We decided to share an appetizer of butternut squash tortellini.
Butternut Squash Tortellini Water Grill San Diego California
The waiter warns us about the forking hot plate. We each take a tortellini. We bite into them and we forking look at each other for a moment. We both have forking ice cold, I mean really cold tortellini in our mouths. WTFork! Did the cook just pull out cold tortellini from the refrigerator? Who the fork does that?
This is Forked Up!
Our dinner had some issues and I wanted to forget about this dinner that should have been our best in San Diego so we forking ordered dessert.
Water Grill San Diego CA
I didn’t think the dessert looked bad but it forking tasted burnt!
BURNT!
BURNT!
FORKING BURNT!
We only tasted BURNT!
Not Worth a Fork
These were the plates that weren’t worth a FORK in San Diego.
Forking Truth
These Tortellini look pretty nice! Don’t They?
But it seemed like someone just pulled them out of the forking refrigerator, dressed them up a little and threw them on a heated plate hoping we’d just forking eat them that way.
This is Forked Up!
It’s really very odd that someone did this…
We said something to our waiter and before we knew it the manager was over and apologized profusely. The manager took the tortellini off our check and asked us if we’d take a properly made plate of butternut squash tortellini.
A long time passes by and we are wondering what was happening. Eventually a plate of hot butternut squash tortellini’s have arrived. They are delicious but slightly spicy. They have a creamy butternut sauce that is cut with fresh crisp apples and some fried sage.
Soon our pink sea bream arrives.
Water Grill San Diego CA
The fish looks sort of nice with fresh herbs and a cooked lemon.
But it’s slightly overcooked and slightly dried out like it’s been sitting awhile. It’s sort of like fish off a buffet and not that moist perfect fish your hoping for from a fish house.
I said it was forking ok to the waiter because it was ok just not great.
OK so I was expecting an excellent fish dish since this is a fish place and was sort of disappointed and thought I needed dessert to cheer me up and forget about the disappointment.
We decided to share a Pear Tart Tatin.
Water Grill San Diego CA
The ice-cream was suppose to be caraway flavored but neither of us could taste caraway. Everything under the ice-cream just tasted burnt. I don’t really know if it was just a burnt sauce or a burnt cake and sauce. Neither of us could saw threw the cake with our forks because the tart tatin was hard like a rock. This dessert was awful and I told the waiter that it was hard to eat. He said well you can order something else next time.
I don’t know who they have working there in the kitchen? Was it these guys?
Or it was these guys?

I note this may not be typical of this restaurant but if you happen to give them a try I’d recommend the raw shellfish.
No one would ever guess that a FORKING airport restaurant could ever be on a better food list. The Pasifica Breeze Cafe at the San Diego Airport (Pre-Security Floor 1 Terminal 1) Prepares non-typical airport cuisine. Nothing we had was dry, old or flat. Everything we tried was fresh made and forking tasty!
I had a sugar spiced salmon salad with fresh mixed greens napa cabbage and other vegetables with a house made sesame peanut vinaigrette. It actually was surprisingly delicious and tasty. This was an above average preparation of salmon and everything about the salad was fresh and tasty.
My husband’s burger with yam chips was also great!
We enjoyed many plates from Juniper & Ivy. The Chef at J&I is the celebrity Chef Richard Blais. He is Bravo’s Winner of Top Chef All Stars and is known for his innovative classic American Cuisine.
We started out with fun deviled eggs with whipped crispy whites.
Trout that tasted like a pastrami on rye,
But the most delicious plate was the forking carrots.
These carrots were almond wood grilled,topped with pickled apricot puree, jalapeño chimicurri and grilled peanut oil and I think almonds? These were really amazing and far forking better than I make them sound.
Banker’s Hill made a really awesome Happy Hour Beet Salad.
The spiced herb creamy dressing went really well with the greens and beets but the sweet citrus really made the salad pop and it did’t hurt to add a yummy toasted buttery cheesey bread treat to the plate.
Nearby in La Jolla at Nine-Ten I had house cured and smoked salad that was topped with a very detailed salad.
At Cucina Urbano I enjoyed a whole roasted pink bream over studded couscous.
We also had this really great dessert that I will have to try to create someday.
This was really delicious and worth the calories. Dense in a forking good way (rich and moist) cake filled with something like cannoli filling that sits on a thin buttery thin cookie base and is topped with a very thin pine-nut brittle thats savory with salt and pepper. Fresh blackberries, blackberry sauce and blackberry sorbet complete the dish.
I had other dishes that were good but these were the highlights of the forking better food I had in San Diego.

I was checking out at the grocery store near my house in Phoenix Arizona and the cashier noticed the frozen confection I picked up called frozen custard.
The cashier was an older woman in her 60s and told me she never forking heard of frozen custard and asked me what it was. I told her it’s like frozen soft serve but much richer and smoother because it’s made with eggs. I was surprised she lived all her forking 60 something life and never heard of frozen custard but then I thought about it a little forking more and realize that frozen custard really isn’t an Arizona Thing.
I don’t forking know why?
Maybe you need to live near a forking boardwalk to enjoy frozen custard?
We do have some frozen custard right here in Phoenix. I’ve seen it at Freddie’s, Culver’s and Rita’s but they aren’t the same.
Frozen custard was invented in Coney Island New York in 1919 by ice-cream vendors Archie and Elton Kohr. The brothers found out that just adding egg yolks to their ice-cream helped the treat stay cold longer and also gave it a richer silkier texture.
Some people from Phoenix never heard of frozen custard!

Special K Cereal used to be special because it use to be just one variety of cereal that was plain. It was almost like rice krispies for adults. Special “K” seemed like an adult cereal. It wasn’t too sweet and the commercials made it sound healthy. They were known for something about if you ate it for a week or so with the Special “K” plan that you’d lose weight.
These days you have many varieties of special K to choose. Maybe you need to get more protein in your diet? I wonder what kind of protein is in your box? Could it be kidneys or forking liver from an unidentified animal? (seriously vitamin B2 riboflavin is Kidneys and or Liver that might be an unidentified animal source most likely beef or pork)
Maybe you need cinnamon and sugar to cover up the forking protein taste and want your cereal to be a different shape and not look like special K?
Mmmmm this Special K is made with real berries.
I don’t see a mention of real berries in this box but it is also chocolatey!
These are BOTH forking fruit and yogurt. I didn’t read the fine print to see how they differ.
Cinnamon Pecan Special K does sound tasty.
Some sort of brown little nuggets in that bowl that forking look like rabbit turds called Chocolatey Delight!
Oats and Honey are good for when you feel like eating like a forking horse.
Chocolate Almond for those times you feel like a nut with a little chocolate.
Vanilla Almond sounds good unless you find out that the vitamin D3 in it is made from forking sheep’s wool! BAHHHHHHH Bah!
Special “K” isn’t so special because there’s more than one variety now.
Forking Truth
The FORKING TRUTH is that you’ve eaten sheep’s wool most of your life without even knowing it.
WTFork!
This is Forked Up!
Many packaged cereals and other products have vitamin D3 added.
Vitamin D3 is extracted from lanolin from sheep’s wool.
A material called cholesterol is extracted from wool grease and then other materials are extracted from the cleaned wool and then those materials go threw a four step process that includes radiation. So in my words it sounds like forking wool dirt and forking wool juice somehow forking turn into forking vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 is used as a rodenticide. Well they don’t forking call it vitamin D3 they use it’s forking chemical name but I’m calling it vitamin D3 because that IS WHAT it is and I can’t forking pronounce the chemical name cholecalciferol.
Vitamin D3 is also a HAZARD to DOGS and CATS and can cause renal failure to them and to other creatures.
Is vitamin D3 good for us? I don’t forking know.
I found out it’s in many Kellogg’s Foods.
Kellogg’s and Wikipedia are my references.
The Forking Truth is that you’ve been eating Sheep’s Wool. BAH baHhh

I took this picture of the forking breakfast I prepared for my husband and put it up on twitter today. All of a sudden a bunch of foodies from all over were favoriting and retweeting my photo.
In just a matter of only a couple minutes this photo was retweeted to OVER a FORKING @#$%^&*()_ TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND people. So I thought it was worthy to post on my blog.
Last year my most popular photo on twitter was the one of my signature pizza with heirloom tomatoes.
Not sure but somewhere around fifty five thousand people got this photo retweeted to them. Even Chef Emeril Lagasse favorited some of my pictures and favorited my forking pizza twice.
My food photos of my food are more popular than my Forking Blog.

I have been using this pot several times a week for over ten forking years.
Many of the forking recipes on this site were made with this pot.
The pot somehow magically stays clean even around the handle area.
I purchased it on clearance from either Marshall’s or Home Goods for only $10. so my pot was also forking cheap.
Thanks Wolfgang! This is a great forking pot!

White wine, beer, rice, brussels sprouts, dark meat fish, and unfiltered tap water all have possibly dangerous levels of arsenic. Possibly dangerous levels of arsenic are considered low levels because it’s the forking HIGH levels that kill you!
We don’t know all the effects of arsenic yet. We also don’t know exactly how the arsenic gets in these things we consume. We know that plants absorb arsenic. We also know that arsenic is found in soil, water, fertilizer, pesticide, pressure treated wood, and clay soil.
A study showed that people who drank one and a half beers a day or one glass of white wine a day had THIRTY Forking percent more arsenic in their bodies than from people who didn’t drink alcohol.
Arsenic is also found in apple juice, grape juice, and rice cereals.
