Ringing in the New Year with Ham… and Cats.

I have managed to acquire more ham then the human body is able to process. This sort of thing happens when you are young and have relatives that think you are poor and destitute and starving. Or, for that matter, when you have relatives who are retired and their primary form of entertainment is buying [...]

Adventures in Fried Rice

It is a well known fact that fried rice is delicious. As someone who spends money on groceries on a regular basis, I recently realised the fact that most of the ingredients in fried rice are quite cheap. And thus comes (da da dun) the fried rice adventure. I’ve never made fried rice before. So, [...]

Chocolatey Apple Muffins (for that extra layer of warmth around your midsection)

If you are anything like me, you probably have enough sugary products in your home to last you through the next month. Or rather, if you are anything like me, you will have enough sugary products in your bloodstream to last you through the next month. If you’ve got relatives you see over the holidays, [...]

Curry Art and Ice Cream Sandwich Art

Sometimes, I take a picture of something really neat, but the picture does not express the neatness of that photographed entity. Sometimes the photo can be tweaked, sometimes it can’t. Usually when the latter occurs, I just delete the picture. This time, I decided to flex the ole Photoshop skills. So, err, keep that in [...]

Minty Christmas Sugar Cookies

I own the recipe for the best sugar cookies in the entire universe. Not just the entire world, or even the entire galaxy. I mean, the entire universe. It’s a recipe I got from my friend Lynness back in high school, back when I viewed it as completely normal to eat about ten of these [...]

A Consolation Ice Cream Post

I’d hoped, by this time, to be posting of the glories of having approximately one bajillion coupons for free Chick-fil-a combos. Alas, it was not to be. I had a bad source, you see. After doing some research on the internets, I discovered that the opening that was allegedly to occur today had already happened, [...]

Chick-fil-a Adventures

There’s something I’ve been wanting to try for a bit now. See, I am a sucker for Chick-fil-a. It is warm and chickeney and delicious. Because of this, I’m very interested in attending a grand opening. See, if you’re one of the first 100 people at the grand opening, you get free Chick-fil-a for a [...]

Delicious Raspberry Smoothies

And now for something completely out of season! Back in the long days of summer, Drew and I were out hiking and happened upon legions upon legions of raspberry bushes, all offering their fruits to us. We accepted their offerings graciously, and they have been snoozing in our freezer for quite some time, their slumbers [...]

Pumpkin Spice Hot Milk

The real tragedy with this particular time of year is the lack of sunlight. Not only does it make more then a few of us entirely more depressed then we would rather be, but it also does a depressing number on some of our photography skills. Sunlight is a beautiful thing. I can place something [...]

Curry, Starring Dirt Cheap Fish

So lets talk about dirt cheap fish, here. See, I can appreciate all ranges of fishes. On one end of the range, I have a huge affinity for tuna, barely seared with soy and wasabi involved, preferably. And on the other end, well, I also have a huge affinity for tuna. Albeit, from a can, [...]
