Top Burnt Chef: October 2009
http://topburntchef.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. So nearly after a month, finally here is post for the much talked about Raclette Burger. I've been kind of lazy about blogging because my food photography is less than par. It's hard to make food look pretty for the camera when you want to eat it right away. So what is raclette? There is something about being in the mountains that makes me crave raclette! But raclette cheese is SO good it shouldn't just be for the mountains which is why I made a hamburger with it! 1 To make the...

Top Burnt Chef: Super Fair!
http://topburntchef.blogspot.com/2009/07/super-fair.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. This year is no exception. I got a Super Pass, which gives me daily admission to the Fair. So far, I have gone 3 times and there is still one and half weeks left. I plan on going at least one more time (I'm bummed I missed the Demolition Derby night though). Chicken Charlie's will fry anything. Word on the street is if you bring him a pickle, he will fry it for you. I wonder if the chocolate covered bacon could be deep fried. I love roasted corn. Deep fried pizza bites. Simple t...

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Chuc Mang Nam Moi (Happy Chinese New Year). Happy Chinese New Year! It has finally snowed here in Mammoth Lakes after TWO months of no precipitation. It has been the driest winter on record since the 1800-somethings when they started recording things like that. What a good start to the year of the Dragon! Here are some pictures from this morning. Snow on the deck. The VW is covered. Matt starting to shovel. Lots of shoveling to be done. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Top Burnt Chef: November 2010
http://topburntchef.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. Wow, it has been forever. After a busy, busy winter and an equally busy summer, I'm back with a redesigned blog and logo! I promise to try and keep blogging. I swear. To kick off my return, I present to you slow cooker chili mac! This chili is perfect for this autumn weather. I prefer chili made with chuck roast but the BF likes ground beef chili better but this chili has good beefy flavor. I am also of the Texas style chili persuasion- NO BEANS! TBC Slow Cooker Chili.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011. SCREW YOU J.Crew. Along with a copy of the gift receipt and note specifying I wanted to exchange the too small sweater for the Minnie Pant. My email was to-the-point, right? No where does it say, please refund the credit card! Thanks a lot J.Crew for NOTHING! I can't believe this is how you treat a gift exchange. It says on the effin receipt: Valid for exchange/merchandise credit ONLY. SCREW YOU J.CREW. Labels: bad customer service. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Do Make See Think.

Top Burnt Chef: Elderberry Jammin'
http://topburntchef.blogspot.com/2011/12/elderberry-jammin.html
Thursday, December 1, 2011. In September, I went camping at the East Walker River. We found a neat little camp site right off the road. I noticed as we were attempting to off-road my Jetta, there were a number of bushes with blue berries. The first rule of foraging is to POSITIVELY ID YOUR PLANT! Since we had no cell reception, I couldn't use those nifty apps where you take picture of the plants and it IDs it for you. Luckily, a truck pulled up and these people started plucking berries off the tree!
