    Food blogging is a joy…until tax time. Then I get to wrestle with the complications of a small side income. While I sort through my grocery store receipts, here are my favorite food posts from the last few months:

    Rick Bayless #TacoTuesday


    Rick Bayless introduced interior Mexican food through his restaurant, cookbooks, and TV show. 1We have family in Chicago; every time I visit, I try to eat at Frontera Grill. That’s getting difficult - Rick is a lot more popular than he was back in the day - but it’s still worth the wait. He is doing a new #TacoTuesday video every week, and I’m loving them.

    The Wonders of Liquid Nitrogen (explained by Dave Arnold)

    Dave Arnold, author of my favorite cocktail book Liquid Intelligence, talks about using liquid nitrogen in the kitchen. (Any cocktails that require liquid nitrogen are all right with me.)

    The Science of the Smoke Ring - Daniel Vaughn

    Does a thick, pink smoke ring really mean better barbecue? Daniel Vaughn investigates for Texas Monthly.

    Pressure Cooker Caramelized Onions - Kenji Alt

    Kenji has another brilliant idea, which I already am trying to work into a recipe - using the pressure cooker to jump-start the tedious process of caramelizing onions.

    Roasted Pork Leg - Pernil - Mely Martinez

    I’m a fan of slow roasting large cuts of pork in the oven. Want to roast a whole pork leg, Mexican style? Mely has a recipe for you:
