Pizza with no picture :(

Well it has been a while but here I am.  Sorry no pictures this time but I have eaten a few things that i did take pictures of.  I wanted to review this restaurant because of how good it was.  It was a family owned pizza place called Piezano's Pizza and Italian.  It is in Ocean City Maryland right on the boardwalk.
  http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g41298-d679185-Reviews-Piezano_s_Pizza_Italian-Ocean_City_Maryland.html

They do not have a website so here is the review on tripadvisor.  If you are ever there in OC eat here.  Do not stop at Dough Roller.  Support the family owned business.  We had the pizza.  They sell it by the slice, half pie or full pie.  We had the half (four slices) thin crust.  Real cheese and sauce was very tasty.  Wait staff was very attentive and helpful and for a hot day the AC was a blessing.  Go in a off hour like we did because after we ordered and we were the only ones in the dining area the place filled up.  Not one table left and people were waiting outside for one.  Would I eat here again? Oh yeah and so should you.  Sorry again no pictures but you all know what a thin crust pizza looks like. Am I right?  God bless, thanks for eating and see you at the table.

A little break

I took a little break from blogging not because I have not been eating but because as all of you know life catches up and you have to peddle faster. Well I am back and have a few dishes for you. The first is a brick oven pizza from Artisans & Oak. www.artisansandoak.com. Located in the Hanover Amish market this little place is a hidden gem. I had the classic and Ellen had a specialty white pizza with sliced olives. The brick oven makes the best pizza and wood fired gives the crust and cheese that smoky flavor. The sauce was perfect. Personal size for all pizzas and you can taste the love in it. Visit them. Eat their food and like me you will be hooked and return again. The second is tuna soft tacos with lettuce and wasabi. I had these in Baltimore at a place called Frank & Nic's west end grille www.Frankandnics.com Family friendly and daily specials. I wanted the
Cuban but they already sold out so I went with the tacos. Not a filling dish, very light but was tasty. Waitress was very attentive and friendly. I think this is a great spot for a lunch before a game so you don't go into the ball park hungry. Will I go again. Yes but I do want to try a few other places. There are a few other dishes I have to write about but just wanted to get these out. Enjoy and it's good to be back blogging.God bless, thanks for reading and continue eating.

Quiche and comics

This weekend was fun. We went to First Saturday Frederick. We had an awesome night with perfect weather and some good food. We had pizza but I am not here to talk about that. I am here to share the very tasty Quiche (cheese, 4 fresh eggs, leaks and spinach)  I had mine with some chips and salsa which really good.  I did not know how I would like it but it turns out that I had a huge slice and took some for lunch today.  So why are there comics on a food blog?  Well glad you asked.  I got these gems from Brainstormcomics.com in Frederick Md.  If you are down town please check them out and give them your business.  Really friendly staff and a great selection of comics.  Two of the three pictured are prints done by Scottie Young and the comic on the lower right is done by him as well.  Love his work and they will look great in the new room.  I now need to get more prints and comics done by him. And Scottie if you are reading this maybe come to Baltimore Comic Con so your fans can get things signed.  Well folks.  God bless, thanks for reading and see you at the comic store or buffet.

Icy hot

Went for ice cream and ended up going to Half Pint in #hanover pa. All home made ice cream and a locally owned company. www.halfpintcreamery.com Trish Motter who graduated high school locally opened in Hanover after her short stent in college. Sweet move on her part. The ice cream is really good and you all know how I like to support a local business. Visit her website and see for yourself all the flavors and you decide. Chain ice cream or support local. Will I go again. Sure will. I had the Sweet Heat. Chocolate ice cream with red pepper and cyan pepper. Slow burn but the milk takes care of it. God bless, thanks for reading and see you at the ice cream counter. 

Firehouse chicken

This is not a long blog but well worth the read.  Ever so often the firehouse up the street has a chicken or beef roast.  Today was that day.  Hundreds of chickens on the grill along with potatoes grilling and making the town smell amazing.  Anyone who loves grilled chicken and passed by had to stop. The supply was first come first serve so glad I was early.  By 11am they were done cooking and over half of them were sold.  A dinner for two was $18.  It consisted of one full chicken, two baked potatoes, two rolls and two apple sauces.  I had a single order because Mrs. Ewensstomach was not only feeling sick she also does not eat chicken.  I had only half of mine for lunch and will save the other half for after church tonight.  So for a single person I paid $8.50 and made two meals out of it.  Cant beat that for home grilled chicken and potatoes.  God bless, thanks for reading and support your local fire department and business.  

How cheese makes a sandwich

Yesterday I made a egg and cheese sandwich.  Yeah it does not sound so good or special but it was.  One of my coworkers told me about a cheese she had.  She and her husband loved it and said I needed to try it as soon as I could.  So on the way home I ran into Wegmans and found said cheese.  It did not look like anything special but that was deceiving.  The cheese is called Steakhouse onion and it is a cheddar cheese. It has the amazing smell of onion and the taste of eating a steak sub.  I wanted to wait till I got home to try it but that only lasted to the first stoplight.  Right then and there I said to myself "Self.  Tomorrow you are going to make yourself and egg sandwich with your fresh eggs and use this cheese.  You will not be sorry". Glad I listened because it turned out to be a great sandwich.  I can see using this cheese on a burger or melted over nachos.  The onion and steak flavor work great and will catch you by surprise.  So next time you go out and have a chance pick up some.  You will not be sorry.  God bless, thanks for reading and eat more cheese.

Lunch with Ewensstomach

You may ask me when you see me "Ewensstomach, why don't you eat a large dinner?" and I will answer with "Because with lunches like this who needs dinner?"  Today I made marinated grilled deer back strap with grilled onions.  I marinated the meat for about 7 hours in a little soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.  Cut thin so the flavors can soak in and cut down on the cooking time.  I spooned veggie oil and some season along with balsamic vinegar, put them on a metal rod and grilled them first because they take a tad longer than the steak. I toasted my buns and added provolone cheese to the top.  Finishing them off with a light drizzle of A1 season and some mayo the end result is what you see below.  This was an amazing way to cook the steak and took all the game out of it.  No one would ever know it was deer and polished them off as fast as I did.  Summer time is for grilling and I plan on doing a lot of it.  With Mrs. Ewensstomach pregnant she does not like coming home to a house of bizarre smells so grilling is the way around it.  And who does't like the taste of a smoky cut of meat?  Crazy people that's who.  Just kidding.  I will be doing some all veggie kabobs this summer and will highlight them here.  I am by no means a professional cook but I love food and grilling is one of the best ways to go out on a limb and try different things.  Grilled squid?  Who knows.  God bless, thanks for reading and see you by the fire.

First time easy biscuits

What to have with pasta?  Well after making an home made sauce I needed something to soak up and wipe off the plates. So I made biscuits. It was so easy. I added cheddar cheese to the mix and a shame I had no garlic left or they would have been perfect. They were fluffy, light and delicious. Ellen was happy because she was not wanting to eat the pasta so she just at them. Score one for me. Easy to do and will not buy store caned ones again. God bless, thanks for reading and see you with hands covered in dough. 

Beef sticks

Short blog. Looking for good Chinese food?  If you are in the #Littlestown area and have to pick one I recommend Little China Town on South Queen St.  Right beside our only Mexican restaurant Dos Amigos. Tonight I am having their marinated beef on a stick with the hot chili oil. They smell amazing and I took a bite and they are well done and moist. Also an order of the #vegan #springrolls. Check them out. #eatlocal Husband and wife owned and operated. God bless, thanks for reading and Happy Easter.
