Ever since I made {Family Fresh Cooking’s} Chinese 5-Spice Harvest Chili for Secret Recipe Club, I’ve been craving the 5-spice. It’s one the few spice mixes that I have in my cabinet because I mostly prefer to make my own (pumpkin pie spice is another one I purchase). I made the Harvest Chili with ground […]
I remember when I was a child, my mom would always put out a bowl of ripe olives during the holidays. I would take the olives and place one on each of my fingers and for you smarty pants, my thumbs too. Then I’d eat them one at a time. My fingers were the perfect […]
I wonder how many people won’t read this post today because the title has Deer and Liver in it? There are many people who don’t care for wild game and plenty who haven’t even tried it. However, the deer liver is easily substituted for chicken livers, so if you haven’t browsed away yet… For those […]
As I was rummaging through my photos for My Seven Links post, I stumbled across these photos and I realized that I have not posted them yet. Asparagus is possibly one of the most beautiful vegetables, certainly one of the most photogenic. Seriously, I love taking pictures of asparagus almost as much as I love […]
“I heard it from a friend who, heard from a friend, who heard that you’ve been messing around” Can you name that band? Folks, I’ve been messing around. That is on other food blogs. Some of you know that I belong to the Secret Recipe Club, it’s a place where you get assigned another blog, […]
Just a quickie post. I made these little gems over Labor Day Weekend with no intention of making a post about them. Actually I had no intention of making them, but somehow they came to be after rooting around the fridge for a little something to tie us over until dinner. After making them I […]
I have been excited about the Secret Recipe Club ever since I read about it on Feast on the Cheap (one of my all time favorite blogs). After reading about it, I knew I wanted to participate. I’ve been looking for a club of some sort like Daring Cooks, only I’m not to daring. However […]
We’re nuts here, seriously crazy nuts. We are also nuts about nuts. If I put out a bowl of pistachio, before you know it it have a big pile of shells and pistachio skin all over the place. I used to buy shelled peanuts, but lately McGyver had shown a sensitivity to them. He seems […]
So many of my posts have been about eating up at the cabin, this is surely not the last one either. For me, I feel constantly challenged to serve interesting food. It’s so easy to fall into the hamburger/hot dog/cold sandwich/granola bar rut. Typically we are working during the day, painting, chopping wood, even fetching […]
Remember my first post of our African adventure, and then part deux? Time for my last post on our adventure, the third part of our adventure takes us to a big hole and a coffee fountain. When I had won the bid for the safari, I found out that my friend, TMP was from the […]
