Well, we never made it to the March for Science. I did watch it on CSPAN, and they had pretty good coverage of it. Some of the signs were priceless. I did like the one that read something like “we knew it was going to rain because of science”. I find it terribly weird that … Continue reading From the Kitchen and from the bar – new beers, new food and a tattoo!

What the Boss Likes – Perfumes, movies, etc
Having been sick with the flu for a few days, I watched the latest Bond film, Spectre, and the very first one, Dr. No. Spoilers follow. I've been a Bond film since as long as I can remember; my mom liked them so I got taken along. I watched the movies, then read the books … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Perfumes, movies, etc
From the Kitchen and From the Bar – a less than standard Thanksgiving: Thai pork roast
This year we decided to part from the norm of having our usual chicken dinner and try a new recipe we found in my subscription to Food & Wine magazine. This new recipe was for Thai Pulled Pork Sandwiches by Chef Jamie Bissonnette. This where my new Thai ingredients came into play. The online store, … Continue reading From the Kitchen and From the Bar – a less than standard Thanksgiving: Thai pork roast
What the Boss Likes – something from the kitchen and a new winery/brewery
I’m currently hiding in our one air conditioned room on a 95+ degree (F) day. I do love the varied seasons of PA but I could do without the really really hot days. At least I’m not still working as a field geologist out on a hazardous waste site in level C gear. Though that … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – something from the kitchen and a new winery/brewery
From the Bar – a few Belgian ales and a movie
I have now been on this planet for 50 years. I really wish I had been on some other planet during this time but alas technology has not cooperated. For my birthday, we went to have really good cheap french fries (cooked in beef fat) and expensive Belgian beers. This was an extra treat since … Continue reading From the Bar – a few Belgian ales and a movie
From the Kitchen and Bar – I have committed a culinary sin….and it was goooood
A week after Snowzilla and we still have about a foot of snow still on the ground. I’ve been tossing out old bread and stale snacks for the local crows, squirrels and little birdies since they have little to eat. Yesterday we had a huge number of crows in the neighborhood. There must have been … Continue reading From the Kitchen and Bar – I have committed a culinary sin….and it was goooood
From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer
The Thanksgiving long weekend was a nice quiet one for us. We didn’t do the bird but we did eat a lot of appetizers as our feast. Most of them were from the freezer section of the supermarket, but we did make one from scratch. Fresh jalapenos filled with garden vegetable cream cheese, wrapped in … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – new things to try and a jalapeno appetizer
From the Bar and a little from the kitchen – more beer, wine and cider, plus a redux of food we’ve made before
Wow, the Exodus movie really sucks. Not just from the silly plot but from the cinematography to the costuming, etc. Happily, I only saw a bit of it on HBO for free. It’s of that “everyone is filthy for no reason at all” genre. We’ve tried some new beers, ciders and wines. In amongst this, … Continue reading From the Bar and a little from the kitchen – more beer, wine and cider, plus a redux of food we’ve made before
From the Bar – wine and beers from our day trip in York and Lancaster Counties, PA
We had a bit of a staycation last weekend. South-central PA has a bunch of wineries, breweries and good restaurants so we picked a direction, York and east to Lancaster, and headed out. Sorry, no photos. I'm not much of a photographer anyhow. 🙂 Just a note, these places did charge for sampling as most … Continue reading From the Bar – wine and beers from our day trip in York and Lancaster Counties, PA
From the Kitchen and the Bar – beer, cake, bourbon and rye
This week we tried a few new beers, a shockingly blue cake and my husband got me a bottle of rye. The beers were from Shock Top, a craft type company owned by the giant Anheuser Busch. They were in a sampler pack of various flavored takes on their unfiltered wheat ale. Twisted Pretzel – … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – beer, cake, bourbon and rye
