I'm About To 'Splode!!!

Dec. 19, 2012 6:22 am

Updated: Jan. 16, 2013 1:02 pm

I feel a political blog post rearing it's ugly head within me, and I don't want to do that to my beloved AR. I had mentioned in a previous post that we get along here so well because we are united in an interest, or more accurately for most of us, a passion. The problem with politics isn't… MORE

Drip... Drip... BOOM!!!!!

Experiments are not always successful. Thank you Mr. Obvious! He is always there to lend a hand in the aftermath of disappointment. (You won't find him lurking about after disaster. There's too much clean up!) One of the reasons that experiments can go wrong is that we change too many things… MORE

Never, Ever Leaving Well Enough Alone Since 1958!

. On October 19, Friday evening driving home from work, I was in Huntington just 10 minutes from my home, headed north on Round Swamp Rd, a rainy evening, when around the corner I see a car coming at me out of control. I could do nothing, absolutely, nothing, the car hit me head on at a high… MORE

What is GMO??

Dec. 12, 2012 2:12 am

Updated: Feb. 21, 2013 10:55 pm

Sorry I haven't kept up with this blog too well as my mother with dementia is now living with us and has taken a lot of my time. I feel that education about GMO foods that our government has pretty much hidden from the people of our country has to be spread so that people know about it. Most… MORE

Have Beef Stock; Will cook.

Dec. 10, 2012 8:46 am

Updated: Dec. 11, 2012 1:21 pm

I love learning to cook. I even love the mistakes I make. Might I be so bold as to declare that I am more fond of my mistakes than my triumphs? I learn from my mistakes, but my triumphs might just be happy mistakes that I am unaware of! Turning a portion of my lovely beef stock into French Onion MORE

Wood Chips And Hot Chocolate Thoughts.

Dec. 5, 2012 9:42 am

Updated: Dec. 6, 2012 8:07 am

First, I just want to whine a bit. I'm not used to hard physical labor. Let me tell you that moving a 12' x 6' x 4' pile of wood chips to various places in the yard is hard work! It's even worse because the chips were from the city, and these bad boys have a lot of three and four foot long… MORE

Dec. 4, 2012 8:11 am

Updated: Dec. 8, 2012 6:26 pm

Hi! My name is Dave, and I am a nerd wannabe. There. Admitting the problem is the beginning of the solution! I feel so much better, but, no doubt, you are confused. What does an admission of nerdiness have to do with stocks, broths and sauces? I have the unfortunate drive to research a topic… MORE
