I really, really, really, want to love beets. They are one of the most beautiful vegetables to serve. They are easy to grow and they are nutritious too. Mostly they just taste like dirt to me. I know, I should call them earthy tasting, dirt is not appetizing. That’s my reality though. I think my […]
Usually a dish just names itself but I’m afraid that this little condiment/sauce suffers from an identity crisis. It looks like gremolata/pesto/chimichurri, it possesses some of the elements of all. However it is not of Italian decent yet it is of Italian influence. I guess I could describe this as truly a fusion. Thai basil, […]
Finally! Seriously, I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen but it did, I was finally assigned Deb’s blog: Eliot’s Eats. I actually started reading Deb’s blog because of SRC. She got my blog, well, almost 2 years ago; she made me blush with all the nice things she said about my […]
Life is full of lessons. Some lessons are good and some are bad. Sometimes the bad ends up being for the best because you make the best out of a bad situation. Despite careful planning, things don’t always work out as expected. Actually it seems like the more carefully I plan the more likely my […]
This was it, the very last remnants from my garden (other than a few hardy herbs). My little pear tomato plant was the wonder of my garden this year. I started it from a wee little seed, I only had a couple of them, so I did a germination test. Only one seed sprouted. I […]
This past week was spent at the cabin; hunting season (rifle) has started here in Montana. I’m no huntress; I’d rather be Martha Stewart of the Mountains than go out and sit in the cold or tramp through the woods. But McGyver loves hunting, he loves to take his wife hunting, he loves to buy […]
Of all the things that I’ve ever posted about, if you only make one recipe, try one thing, it has to be this kale salt. Kale salt? Indeed, it’s revolutionary! It’s ahhhhmazing! It’s tasty! It’s healthy! Folks, this salt is so incredible that I would consider marketing it! As far as I know there isn’t […]
Who loves Chinese take-out? I do, I do! Actually I love Chinese take-out, Chinese to-go, Chinese sit-down, and on rare occasion a good Chinese buffet. What I don’t love is super greasy Chinese, which seems to be the standard in my local area. We recently had a decent Chinese restaurant called Umami open downtown; it’s […]
Have you ever heard the term “so ugly, it’s cute”? Typically this refers to animals and babies, not to food. And it shouldn’t. Actually I’ve never seen anything so ugly that it became cute. Cats with no hair…ugly! Smashed up face dogs with ubers of wrinkles…ugly. Your newborn baby…sorry moms…ugly (but not forever of course). […]
I may have scaled back on my blogging but I just couldn’t scale back on The Secret Recipe Club, you know because clubbing is so much fun It had to happen, at some point, I was going to be assigned a Vegan blog. I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t have an issue, but […]
