Lied, But With Good Reason

Sunday I said I had a post for you some special... well obviously I didn't but there was reason. I realized that now that I'm back from our Honeymoon and finished up special video project for my best friend that all personal projects should be put aside until I finish a friend's wedding I shot. So until I finish that up (hopefully early next week) I will not be posting any new videos, here or anywhere else. So what can I post? How about look inside the Freaking Delicious homestead! That's right, a taste of my baby's home cooking.

August 4th, 2009 - Caprese Salad

This may be the easiest thing in the world to make (Tomatoes, Basil, Mozzarella, salt and pepper) but good gravy is it tasty. Marieta is all about tossing in new kinds of mozza and different tomatoes. I think here we had some yellow kind, normal red tomatoes, and heirloom zebra tomatoes. Obviously with that description you are learning I am not the true foodie in our family. Marieta loves to cook and experience food, I just love tasty things.

August 5th, 2009 - Pan Seared Tuna with a tropical mango salsa and a kind of rice that is alluding me at the moment.

This was GOOD. I am not a big mango guy but coming off of our honeymoon in Kaua'i I am willing to try any tropical fruit. Marieta really did well with this tastiness. Fish is possibly my favorite meat.

August 9th, 2009 - Gazpacho

Before Sunday I had never had gazpacho before, and when Marieta was describing it to me it sounded like a bowl of salsa... well that is kind of what it is, except not. Make it yourself sometime. I loved it.

Well there's a quick look at a few things that we've had at home recently. Of course there have been others but we don't photograph everything. So I hope life is treating you well and hopefully I can post a new Freaking Delicious episode before the end of the month!

Popping in to Say Hello

What's up Freakin D fans? Oh yeah? that's cool. I thought you were gonna do that. Me? oh not much. Oh WAIT! We moved! Freaking Delicious has relocated from the foggy fun of the San Francisco Bay Area to the Humid Hilarity of Des Moines, Iowa. Yes, I know Des Moines is a few rungs down the ladder of food-fanaticism from SF but the Freak 'Lish coffers are actually unwritten by a career in TV production and Iowa made a decent offer so Marieta and I moved on home. So hopefully you're excited to see updates on tastiness from the great plains states!

Now as for my serious lack of postings... Come on man, I spent May getting ready to move, June getting settled with a new job and place in DSM, and July involved weddings/holiday fun/and a trip to Kauai (I have an awesome post to make from the Garden Isle). So now that we're set up in the "Cyclone State," keep checking back, I'm gonna share all sorts of goodies- Starting with tonight! I have some back-logged eats to share. Miss you guys!

10 Episodes & New Features

Ooooh! I'm on a roll. 10 episodes posted and three others that I will get to before too long. It feels good. If you're observant maybe you've noticed that these episodes aren't exactly in chronological order... yep that Speakeasy episode may be the most recent posting but we checked that place out way back in Sept '08. You see things get crazy, I get lazy, and Freaking D just kind of gets pushed on the back burner. NEVER FEAR! Just because I'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not eating. Every time I eat out I take pictures and if the place gets a thumbs up I post it. (trust me, I've eaten some mediocre crap in the last 8 months that I didn't post...)

THE MAP! If you look at the bottom of the page, go ahead check it out... there is a new map. The Freak-licious Map. While my adventure will most definitely get outside the bay area, this map will give you a cartographic idea of where I've been. Click on the little icon thingers and you'll get addresses, phone numbers, a link to the relating FD review, and just a more interactive experience. Fun huh? Well I hope so atleast. Okay, keep checking back for more tasty treats. Peace!
