It’s no secret that my eyes are bigger than my stomach, my sense of time means that I always think I have more time than I do and I have an unrealistic view of how much fresh food we can consume in a week. I have this tendency to overbuy and then I find myself […]

Garlic Scape and Basil Pesto with Pancetta
I’m not an exotic cook nor do I have an enormous amount of foodie knowledge. I cook more exotic than some and I seem to have an above average knowledge of foodie things. I’m not a foodie fad girl, I don’t go chasing the latest “in” thing. Lamb may be the new bacon, but bacon […]
Happy Birthday McGyver and a Honey Jack Lemonade Recipe
Happy Birthday McGyver, how old are you? McGyver holds up his hand and starts with the thumb, 1966, then the index finger, 1976, the middle finger, 1986, the ring finger, 1996 and finally the pinky, 2006. Let’s see now it’s 2011, so 2006 to 2011 is 5 years, “I’m 55”. Isn’t it great that after […]

An Adventure of a Life Time and Puff Adder
Part Deux from my post last week, when Mcgyver and I embarked on An Adventure of a Life Time. After finishing our time at Camp Wag ‘n Bietje, Frikkie loaded us and our gear up, I was comfortable smashed in the “extended” part of his small pick-up. In retrospect I probably should have just rode […]
Roasted Butter Chicken

The perfection of this roasted chicken isn’t hours of brining or fantastic, or even exotic ingredients and seasonings, it’s the cooking method and the butter. Oh my, what the butter does to this chicken. The butter transforms a regular chicken into a super succulent, super moist meat […]

Chili Rubbed Pork Steak with Cilantro Lime Butter and Grilled Pineapple
Sometimes life gets in the way of riding, cooking, photographing and blogging like I want to. There just isn’t enough time, often times I’ve thought “I should have waited till I retired to do a blog”. I’ve even thought about putting it on hold for awhile, you know, while I try to catch up on […]
Sour Cream, Bacon and Cheddar Drop Biscuits
Saturday morning, after a long week I wanted to make some home made biscuits for breakfast. They had been on my mind all week. Biscuits, warm and flaky. After making a pot of coffee, I delved into the refrigerator to get my ingredients. Hmmm, no buttermilk, no regular milk, only 2 tbsp. of butter. Yeah, […]
