Mmmm Homemade Pizza. featuring Biscuit Dough and Quesadilla Pizza!

Do you ever start thinking about pizza, and just can’t stop? I keep thinking about pizza. Giant flappy slices of super cheesy NY style pizza, to be specific. Not that I’d turn down any other type of pizza, mind you. Or anything with enough cheese on it, for that matter. However, my wallet and I [...]

Guest Post: Good Old-Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Here’s another post by Julie, yay!) It must be done. These chocolate chip cookies are just too good to keep a secret any longer. These cookies have been passed down the generations from Drew’s and my grandmother. They’re made with sugar, brown sugar, Crisco, eggs, flour, vanilla, salt, baking soda, oatmeal, chocolate chips, and optional [...]

Sushi Party Platters! Part II

The best circumstances for making sushi are usually when someone else is buying the ingredients. So, I was more then happy to put together some rolls for a group of people at the Outer Banks in North Carolina recently, especially considering the quality of the ingredients involved. Tuna and salmon and krab, oh my! I [...]

Sushi Party Platters! Part I

Not too long ago, Drew and I went on a Grande Voyage to the East Coast, where we visited with various people. As it turns out, if you know how to make sushi, people like to have you around for their gatherings. This works out well for me, as I like to have people want [...]

Guest Post: I Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Recipes!

(This is the third in a series of guest posts by Julie) Sometimes it’s just too hot to follow a recipe. The first recipe-less item I created was some cream cheese wontons. Just put a dab of cream cheese in the middle of a wonton, close it up ever so gently, and stick it on [...]

Namiko’s Sushi in Arvada, CO

Namiko’s is a sushi restaurant which is only a 15 minute walk from where we live. Or a 5 minute drive (closer to 8 minutes during rush hour). Or around 7-8 minutes to bike. In any case, we’ve lived near it for about 9 months now, and for some bizarre reason haven’t gotten around to [...]

Salami Day Incoming!

So the truth of the matter is that I’m a bum. Well, maybe not so much the last month or so, when Death Job Schedule has kept me from updating here (incidentally, if it’s not already apparent, I’m back to posting). However, I am a bum in that all those months of previous soul-crushing underemployment, [...]

Guest Post: 2010 Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a

This week’s guest post is from none other then Drew! Having already earned a year’s supply of Chik-fil-a (as told previously) last winter, you might think that we don’t see a need for additional free chicken. You might think that, but you’d be wrong. We’re always up for free Chik-fil-a! And so, for this year’s [...]
