Cooking Army

Howdy Kids, One of the best things about cooking is that you get to stab things repeatedly and suffer legal consequences. Normally I am all about bogarting all the stabbety joy for my cooking army brethren and I, but this week I think we’ll try something a bit different. Rest assured that the net quantity […]

The temperatures have been downright awful lately and we here at the Cooking Army intend to fix you up something special. Some comfort food, something to warm you up, down in your cockles, maybe below the cockles, or perhaps in the sub-cockles region, and most certainly in your belly. Whether you’re Pennsylvania Dutch or just […]

Hey Kids, It’s time for another cooking army tradition that, like most traditions, involves fattening you all for the eventual kill. It’s colder than should be legally allowed outside, everything is far too shiny for anyone’s good, and the fake happiness is nauseatingly ever-present. Whenever these factors align, we at the cooking army offer up […]

Howdy Folks, I’m rastlin’ up a few recipes we ain’t done in some time and a few new ones to boot. I had a hankerin’ for some chorizo and danggummit, we’re gonna cook us up some chorizo! In tacos n’ fajitas n’ stuff. There’ll be beef too, some hippy non-meat ones too, like chicken tortas […]

Hi Kids, For those who’ve been to college, the word ‘ramen’ probably brings to light warm and fuzzy memories of being sleep-deprived, cash-deficient and utterly starving. However, anyone who has ever visited Japan can probably attest that what we call ramen here in the states is about as close to real ramen as velveeta is […]

Most of the time at Cooking Army, we try to do a theme for our dinners. This is not most of the time. This is…some of the time! Dun Dun DUUUUUNNNN! This time we are throwing caution to the wind and cooking stuff that doesn’t really go together at all but I want to cook. […]

Hello you’ll, I recently went to the land of the colonel and passed the signs for Kentucky Fried Chicken. I didn’t stop, so now you all get to share in our attempt to recreate the chicken and sides we love. Since I haven’t been to KFC in ages, we may all suffer together. In the […]

Hey Kids, The history of America is one of conflict, as we all know. First came the single celled organisms and they were eventually oppressed and marginalized by dinosaurs, those in turn were eventually oppressed and marginalized by meteors, which in turn were eventually oppressed and marginalized by buffalo, who in turn were eventually oppressed […]

It’s suddenly warm outside! That means there’ll be one more good snow before Summer hits, but until it does, we’re breakin’ out the grill and cookin’ some of the best stuff we’ve ever cooked. That means Disappearing pork. That means Festive Black Bean Chili. We put together a Barefoot Contessa Cooking Army about a year […]

Just what the title says, we won’t be having Cooking Army this week, but I will post an update as soon as we have a new one scheduled.
