For next Valentines Day I’m gonna make a meat heart for my sweetheart. ;)

The Dude of Food presents pasta Alfredo
So when I craved pasta with Alfredo sauce I just took a half pound of bacon, trimmed the fat and pan fried it. After draining the pan I added some onions and finely chopped garlic. Thawed frozen peas were added and then fresh broccoli . Later, cheating, I added a jar of Alfredo sauce and a small container of another brand of Alfredo sauce with some milk. I added a dash of salt, some black pepper. You can add basil or mint or whatever flavor you like and bring to a slow simmer.
Add Penne pasta and enjoy.
Top with cheese as preferred.
The Dude of Food likes IN-N-OUT Burgers
The Dude of Food is a big fan of In-n-Out burger. Ever wonder why they are so good? Is the quality of the meat? Is it the consistency in quality? Is the care they take in customer service? Is it the fresh iced tea and clean bathrooms?
Whatever it is, these employees learn all about it at the IN-N-OUT University in Baldwin Park.
Around the corner is a replica of one of the originals, seen below. Instead of millions served they advertise ‘NO DELAY’. My how times have changed.
As of Dec 18, 2024 there were 415 In-n-Out locations in the US.
Keep up the respectable work In-n-Out crew.

It just so happens that they make a good one here. Pricey but good.
The 50 year anniversary party was awesome.

Captain Croc – Paris, France
As I walked the 65 miles or so around town I could feel my energy getting lower.
I needed to eat and when in Paris you do as the Parisians do so I decided I needed wine with my lunch. The Captains Croc provided me with a delicious plate of salmon pasta in cream sauce and some wine to help keep me going. The staff was friendly, the food was great and I’d certainly go back.
If you are in the area then I recommend you walk over, just across the river from Notre Dame, and eat lunch here. You won’t be disappointed by the quality food, reasonable prices or friendly service. Merci Captains Croc.
Santa Monica Pizza – Paris, France
At the web site listed below you will find the information to the first sign I saw upon exiting the Métro at Place des Fêtes . Having left Santa Monica, CA 15 hours earlier you can imagine the surprise this sign caught me by. I laughed and knew I must go check it out.
After traveling for 15 hours I was ready to drop my bags off, eat and wander around Paris. The Santa Monica pizzeria was closed so I didn’t get to eat there until the second night of my stay and found Ismail and the staff to be friendly and hospitable. I went back as much as I could while in Paris. Merci Santa Monica Grill.

RAVENSWOOD California Cabernet Sauvignon
Going to a party and can’t decide how much to spend and not trying to buy some junk wine that was a waste of money? Nobody wants to hear the voice of ridicule as party goers make their statements regarding your choice of wine. Well there is a wine to add to the buy list that won’t get you ridiculed. It’s reasonably priced and decent tasting. The Ravenswood line of wines are alright. Try some.
Easy Lasagna Recipe by the Dude of Food
Food freshness
Before your cabinets and fridge become mold incubators, take a minute to check things out.
The pantry The fridge The freezer
Dried black beans-1 year Open salsa- 1 month Frozen broccoli- 9 months
Opened almonds- 1 month Open mayo-a month after the jar date Beef- 8 months
Open peanut butter- 3 months Meats- 3 to 5 days Fresh shrimp- 9 months
Unopened Mayonnaise- 1 year Open Italian dressing- 8 months Salmon-10 weeks
Open tortilla chips- 1 week Raw eggs in shell- 1 month Homemade chili- 8 months
Milk- smell it or give it the coffee test Strawberries- 10 months
Some hints to preserve your foods longevity.
1. Use tupperware or sealable bags to preserve your products, including bread and chips.
2. Keep your fridge chilly but not too cold. The lower temp will help keep food fresher by a couple days, plus who doesn’t love cold milk!
3. Do not overload the fridge with too much junk. An overstuffed fridge doesn’t function as well.
4. Use your nose and eyes. If food looks OK and doesn’t smell or have a weird sheen to it, it is most likely good.
5. If it smells odd, looks a bit off, is slimy, or seems like it would not be good, it probably isn’t. Error on the side of caution and throw it away.
