It’s the last month of the year! The holidays are always so intense. It seems like the season starts out slow as Halloween starts things out, but then it slowly snowballs into something huge. Thanksgiving, then Hanukkah, Yule, and Christmas, and probably more that I’ve completely missed. My stepdaughter’s birthday is this month as well!Continue reading “December”

Thanksgiving Preparation
Thanksgiving this year has involved a ton of cleaning since we’re hosting people outside the family. We had changed the living around a ton too so there was a ton of clearing out and sending to Goodwill. Good bye, cheap plywood television stand. Hello, solid wood buffet. Holds a lot of our video game piecesContinue reading “Thanksgiving Preparation”

Avocado … Avocabracadabra?
Put the lime in the Avocado and you smash it all up… A magical spell for tasty yummy stuff. We had about six ripe avocados ready to use recently.

So I whipped up some Guacamole using ingredients we had around theContinue reading “Avocado … Avocabracadabra?”

I have Evolved…
I absolutely hate thinking about what Generation I’m from, but the other day it hit me as hilariously funny. I’ve been feeling funky. I had a very specific craving. I wanted a roast beef sandwich on a baguette with some horseradish sauce and provolone cheese. Roast beef was like $7 at the grocery store soContinue reading “I have Evolved…”
Never Use a Recipe
Most of the time, when I do “Asian” food, I do not use a recipe. I so a bit of taste and test and just throw in an average amount of each ingredient. If you read the ingredients on a basic seasoning packet you buy in the store: sugar, cornstarch, garlic powder, sesame seed oil,Continue reading “Never Use a Recipe”
