It’s been a good week for getting stuff done. i assembled the bookshelf i made while at home for jonathan’s wedding (with lots of help from dad). and last night i boiled some sweet corn, potatoes and chopped up some other veggies for a really good cold salad thingy. A bit too much [...]
I admit it. I use eHarmony. Wait, no, i kinda use eHarmony. I get notices that i have people wanting to start communicating, but i can only look at their profiles. i just need to front the cash ($60ish for a month) and see what is out there…
however, what i am noticing is that [...]
Last weekend - Feb 20 - i made (actually mary made it with my recipe) the best guacamole i’ve ever had. I didn’t have a molcajete, but a blender sufficed… i just need to get the correct tools for the next time because it could possibly make it even better… tempting and amazing all [...]
Tonight (actually, this morning) i finished off a nice evening with a confusion that is perplexing and confounding. A msg that ends a friendship out of the blue brought the night to a solid numbing halt.

Yes. I fried the turkey friday morning and it was tasty. So tasty that there was none left after dinner. So tasty that I was complimented by everone. So tasty that there is a shitload of mom’s baked turkey left. Ugh. Turkey sandwiches for a long time to come. That sucks.
So, I [...]
A brief note about wine and seafood. Usually a white wine is best for seafood because it has a lighter touch than some reds. Some of the best whites for this are also someof the hardest to get in the states but are well worth it.
Baja Mexico (and to a lesser extent, California) have some [...]
If you get tired of wine (shame on you), take a quick trip to find some tasty recipes to go along with your wine when you come to your senses. Personally, I prefer the slightly geekier online site, Cooking for Engineers. Arriving in second place is Food TV’s online recipe database with samples from [...]
