So I made a wonderful dish of homemade mac and cheese, which happens to be my favorite food of all times. Thought I would share my recipe see how It goes for you my readers.  Tell me if you tryws it at home for yourself or if you have an even better recipe. I used the smaller macaroni noodles boiled water then threw them in for a couple of minutes until they were tender. Graded a whole block of sharp chedder cheese. In a mixing bowl I put cooked noodles half of the cheese a bit of milk (some people use cream) butter and 2 beat eggs. Then I I poured of that into baking pot covered layer with cheese pepper and salt then repeated that with more layers until pot was full covered and cooked in pre heated oven on 350 for 45 minutes.

Didn't quite taste like my grandmas but I'm getting there :)

Sometimes You Should Treat Yourself To A HomeCooked Meal

Sometimes you just need a good home cooked meal. I love to cook so I got inspired tonight to mix a few spices together to tickle my pallet. I started my seasoning my pork chop overnight with garlic salt pepper thyme basil. I smeared butter all over a yam and put that in the oven first because I knew that would take the longest. Then on top of the stove I chopped some mushrooms and onions put It in the skillet with a little oil and red wine vinegar. When those were finished I added fresh asparagus and some tomato paste. I then smeared some black pepper sauce on the pork chops and broiled them for 5 min on each side. I took some canned corn and put cinnamon and sugar and nutmeg on top of the stove. When the pork chop was done so was everything else. Bon appetité. Considering the fact that my moms plate was spotless at the end if dinner I give my homemade creation 10 delish stars.

Italiano at Drago Centro

Omg the freshest pasta I have ever tasted. It literally tasted like some italian grandmother was making fresh pasta and sauces.  We went to drago by default we were heading to botega louie for my friends 30th birthday. The wait was too long so headed to drago cause the birthday girl still wanted italian. I had seafood pasta there was crab and what looked like linguini topped with a cream sauce. Others had butternut squash ravioli and a thick flat noodle rolled with pork suasage grounded over with a savory flavored sauce. Drago was def. a more upscale restaurant so be prepared to dish out some money. I give drago centro 10 delish stars.

Had a corned beef sandwhich at Jerry's deli today. Um can we say never again. The meat was so dry It looked like when they put the fake food on display. I wish I was at Canters on Fairfax, which by the way has the best mouth watering corned beef sandwhich in la that I've had so far. I give Jerry's 2 delish stars only for effert.

Nothing Like BOSSA NOVA

Brazilian Food that tantalizes the taste buds.  BOSSA NOVA has been around since the 90's and to this day is still popular to locals and celebs alike.  There are three locations that I know of but the spot I always find myself at is 7181 Sunset Blvd. 90046.  Not only does Bossa Nova have great food but it stays open until 4am.  Who says you cant great food in LA after 2am lol.  I usually get the garlic chicken with black beans and rice with plantain and a tropical punch that they have.  Between appetizers and meals the price ranges from $7.00 - $30.00  They just added a happy hour so I'm sure there will be even better prices for great

dining.  Bossa Nova is open 7 days a week from 11am- 4am. I give it 10 delish stars!

Dukes in Malibu

I recently was out in Malibu singing at a wedding on the beach that was beautiful.  After the gig all of us singers were hungry of course and decided to go to Dukes 21150 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. They say celebrate the Aloha Spirit on the water edge at Dukes.  Fun Fact about Duke Kahanamoku is that he is Hawaii most famous citizen and King of international surfing.

We stayed in the barefoot bar to eat and let me tell you best bar food I have ever tasted. We heard on Fridays they even have Hawaiian Dancers.You can have burgers with mango sauce to calamari with guava sauce to coconut crusted shrimp to waffle fries and yam fries and nachos big enough for three people to share we were very satisfied to say the least.  Not to mention the amazing view of huge waves crashing on the rocks outside the huge windows.  The prices range from $6 to $14. If you dine in the regular dining area the prices are in the $20-$30 bracket. Whatever your budget is you will dine sufficiently.  I give Dukes  9 delish stars.
