I like giving the classics a personal touch so I turned this afternoon munch into "Happy Hour", with a shot of Skyy Vodka some crushed pineapple and a few fried bagel chips.

Since we are in the middle of Summer we are in the middle of Avocado season. That means its on with Guacamole. Here is a tip add steamed Cauliflower and Broccoli to add an extra punch of healthy living and enjoy life.  This one's for the ladies. If you want to sneak a purely trendy vegetarian option to the football weekend spread here you go. Don't say a word just watch as they are devoured by the self confessed meat eaters.   Growing up in So Cal you learn the secrets of picking out the perfect Alligator Pears (AKA Avocados). Making homemade tortilla chips is another thing that comes with the territory. Enjoying your creation with friends is a no brainer.  A beautiful sunset assisted by the smoke of a local wild fire and a shot of Cazadores Tequila. The view from the Redondo Beach Pier cool as an evening breeze the beach was packed but you wouldn't know it from this photo. Inland temperatures well over 100 degrees this day.  Living on the coast anywhere on this beautiful planet isn't about crab and lobster all the time. Most times you got to keep it real. Real affordable. In every fish market you'll find at the end of the glass show case my favorite, mixed seafood priced to sell and ready to eat.  Standing on the shoulders of a Double Chili Cheese Polish Sausage is the Santa Fe Style Cheese Burger. This bad boy was tall and messy. Napkins required satisfaction guaranteed. Part of the Tsunami series, "brother when you see this wave coming run towards it".  The last decade has seen the rise of Macaroni & Cheese as an unstoppable force. Having resisted for as long as I could my first recipe turned out to be a "Monsterpiece" of flavor and design. Witness this unholy alliance temp your taste buds. Resistance is truly futile!  Just in time for Father's Day. Ladies here's a recipe to give your daddy a break on the BBQ this day. Hard hitting lobster and crab legs will let him know how special he is. You cooking for him will let him know how special you are.  On a recent visit to "Ports of Call" San Pedro, California I was reminded of how similar coastal communities are to one another. The thing that ties them all together is seafood. Living in Biloxi, Mississippi for six years I was pleasantly surprised at how cajun and Pacific Rim cuisine had so much in common. It certainly aided me in running the most popular casino buffet on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
