" Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.''
Winston Churchill to the boys at Harrow School, October 29, 1941.
Of course, this is…

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!

"Good morning, Doc! Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to turn five pounds of beef bones and a few select aromatic vegetables into a delicious beef stock. Then upon completion of the stock, take those same bones and turn them into 1 1/2 to
2 cups of rich, Beef Glace de Viande.…

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…

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…

I was reading Eva DelBriemari's blog,
Hello! and was inspired by the contrast she made between AllRecipes and FaceBook, and her observation that we are of one accord. I have a mind a bit like a grandmother's attic. It's cluttered and dusty, but sorta of fun to browse through on occasion!…

Yes, I am turning into a wimp. My body has been coddled by warm temperatures for too long, and has forgotten the frigid winters of Minnesota. It's 26F and I actually had goose bumps on my arms when I went outside. I probably should have worn a jacket,
but I was only going to get a coffee and…

One of the topics I threatened to... I mean promised to, write about was the basic skill of making stocks and sauces. I can't think of a better time of year to start the stock making process. Winter is the best time of year to utilize stocks in making
soul warming soups. Consider this post a…

I was looking out over my garden the other day. It was, and still is, in a sad state. The beds haven't been put to bed yet, and the stakes and trellises need to be put in the barn. But amidst all the decay and detritus I saw some dark green. Some of it
wasn't weeds either! When I harvested…

A big thanks to redneck gramma for the idea of how to read and interpret a recipe, and how to write a new recipe. I don't have confidence that my skills are up to writing a new recipe. I do
tweak existing recipes to the point that I can say that they are my recipes, but coming up with…
