As is typical for these cultists who worship a orange rapist, they are now upset that a business can criticize them and not want their business. Penzeys, my favorite spice company, had VP Harris visit them and buy some spices on her trip to Pittsburgh. They also have a store in Milwaukee which made fun … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – trumpees whine about businesses criticizing them

From the kitchen – tasty things to do with refrigerated pizza dough
It’s been a while since I posted about food. We usually cook for fun on weekends and things have come up on weekends since about mid-March, when we both got the flu and have continued until this weekend, when my folks visited. The one thing that was cooked, and by my spouse, are a couple … Continue reading From the kitchen – tasty things to do with refrigerated pizza dough
From the Kitchen – Cake, bread and bad tv
This weekend was another cooking weekend. Here in the US, we have a three day weekend this weekend for President’s Day, a holiday that was to cover both Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays. In addition to beef stew (our recipe can be found here), I made a lemon chiffon cake and also tried a new bread … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Cake, bread and bad tv
From the Kitchen: Mole, and a picture of a feline pieta
Hello my followers, Thanks for following. This is a quick post of our tasty meal from last weekend and me with one of our new boys. We made chicken mole last weeked.

From the kitchen and the bar – experiments in game meats and some new wines
A month or two ago, D’Artagnan (the company that sells fancy meats here in the US) had a really good flash sale and I got a selection of game meats: a duck, venison shanks and a wild boar roast. We had the wild boar first (actually a hybrid of European wild boar and feral pig … Continue reading From the kitchen and the bar – experiments in game meats and some new wines
From the Kitchen – cake and some random musings
Back to some fun stuff. I found a recipe for German buttercream frosting on Serious Eats, one of my favorite food sites. This stuff is very good, not too sweet, and full of tasty tasty fat! I recently made a spice buy at Penzey's, my favorite socially concious spice merchant, and used my new vanilla … Continue reading From the Kitchen – cake and some random musings
From the Bar: a couple of new things to drink, vindaloo, and a movie
This weekend we made a chicken vindaloo. This was from the Saveur magazine recipe and it just wasn’t quite what I had grown used to in most indian restaurants. What the recipe produced was a chicken and potato curry stew but not much of the vinegar tang that I like in vindaloo. So I ended … Continue reading From the Bar: a couple of new things to drink, vindaloo, and a movie
From the Kitchen – finally that bread that I’ve been trying for a decade + to make and a dip
Well, I finally did it! (happy porcupine dance) I made a loaf of bread that has all of the holes in it I wanted. It only took more than a decade since I’ve first started trying baking bread. I started baking bread since I do love that smell through the house. I started baking the … Continue reading From the Kitchen – finally that bread that I’ve been trying for a decade + to make and a dip
From the Kitchen, from the Bar and from the garden: a meandering post about various things
I haven’t had a food and drink post for awhile. A handful of weeks ago we decided to see if we could grill whole Cornish hens on our small barreled shaped grill. We didn’t want to butterfly them which would be simpler, but to have a little whole chicken for each of us. Many years … Continue reading From the Kitchen, from the Bar and from the garden: a meandering post about various things
From the Kitchen and from the bar – new beers, new food and a tattoo!
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!
