Learnin' Me Something

May 8, 2013 6:46 pm

Updated: May 14, 2013 6:48 am

I learned several tings with cooking today. First, I learned that when you write a recipe, you really need to expend every effort into making sure a new cook would understand what you are trying to get them to do. Next, I learned that soy sauce doesn't make something Asian. Last, I learned… MORE

Opinions Are Like Bung Holes. We All Have One, And They All Stink!

I dislike the new format in which the AR website displays. It feels clunky and looks clunky. The changes don't seem to be anything but cosmetic modifications that do not help the user experience at all. In fact, it has made it temporarily more difficult to use AR for certain things. For… MORE

Halfway to Biting that Apple

Updated: Apr. 11, 2013 4:27 am

I’m happy to report that I am now halfway there in my 25 year quest to once again bite into a ripe juicy apple. It seems like it was a longer than a year ago this month that we started with the extractions and even though I only wore a full upper denture for 9 months of that time, it certainly… MORE

Yesterday, I started a, well, starter. More specificlly I took the first steps into creating a regional wild yeast sourdough starter. Seeing that I currently live in St Augustine, FL, known for it's history, I thought this would be a neat way literly have a taste of history, and create a… MORE

Vegan Ricotta Cheese

Updated: Mar. 22, 2013 9:13 pm

When I met Alex, a professional cook and midwestern-born kid, he was amazed that I had gone the last three years without eating any animal product. Lucky for me, when we moved in together he quickly adapted to cooking for vegan lifestyle (although he still loves his meat & potatoes),… MORE

A Recipe For You, Dear Person...

Feb. 23, 2013 2:12 pm

Updated: Mar. 6, 2013 3:26 pm

I have a fan out there. They like to make hurtful comments, but they just haven't yet found something with which to hurt me. I hope they never do because it would hurt them more than it would hurt me. I found this recipe online, and I think it will do the both of us some good. Ingredients1… MORE

I have a love/hate relationship with trying to figure out what to make for supper everyday. I keep threatening to use the Menu Planner, but I have a hate/despise relationship with organization. AllRecipes is a great place to find recipes for a last minute inspiration, and today they gave me a… MORE

Maudlin, Mawkish Or Honestly Sentimental?

Feb. 14, 2013 6:41 am

Updated: Feb. 20, 2013 7:14 am

I'm sitting here eating my breakfast. Today I am having a serving of Quaker Steel Cut Oats and a cup of coffee. I wish I had the discipline to have oatmeal every morning, but 25 minutes for a bowl of porridge is a lot of time spent. I usually just have coffee and then snack for the first half… MORE
