It is no surprise that The Vail Cattle Company served beef to their cowboys. Every cookhouse meal featured platters of steak, beans and tortillas with full-bodied coffee and pie on the side.

Cowhands had a comfortable place to sleep and enough food to fuel their exertions. Vail cooks prepared carne seca, beef jer...

One thing that I know, during all of this craziness in the world, is that food continues to make people happy. It is one of the constants in life. Food can take you back to the good times in your life and instantly put a smile on someone's appreciative face. I always say that cooking for me is an extension of my love. I try not to cook if I am mad, because it never turns out as good. That added ingredient of love has to be in your dish in order for it to be really enjoyed. Fam...

On July 4, 1976, the United States of America celebrated its 200th birthday. On July 27, 1976, I celebrated my 50th birthday. I was one-fourth as old as our nation.

I quit a good job at Southern California Edison's Terminal Island Power Plant, and the week following my birthday I signed the workbook at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union hall in Fairbanks, Alaska.

A new study of 2,000 revealed that people who prefer their popcorn salty and those who prefer sweeter flavors differ in their movie tastes as well. The census-balanced survey revealed that while fans of salted popcorn flavors aren't necessarily, well, salty, their sweet popcorn counterparts do appear to be sweeter...
It is crock pot time year round at my humble abode, but when it is chilly outside, I really love using it to make roasts and stews. This has to be the hands down, easiest recipe I have ever made. It took 5 minutes prep time, then cooked low and slow in my crock pot. Such a yummy dish served over potatoes or even on some ciabatta sandwich rolls! This is a fantastic meal to serve to a crowd that is so beyond easy and delicious. Enjoy! Serves 6 2 lbs. pork tenderloin 1 packet...

Most people living in the U.S. have had the good fortune of eating three meals a day for most of our days – a lot of meals. But how many do we remember? The remembered meals have been something special – something different. We remember where we were, who we were with and, sometimes, what we ate. Two meals I remember for their similarities and their differences were at the Yacht Club in Chicago, Illinois, and the Navajo Café in Compton, California. I was an inexperienced small...
