The movie for this week is Sharknado! No, no, I can’t even joke about that. What a purely stupid movie (yes, we watched about 15 minutes of it). Ah, if someone would have told my teen-age self that there will be a channel called the Science Fiction Channel and that I would hate it with a … Continue reading From the Kitchen and bar plus a movie – Schnitzel with panko is like jaegers with kaiju… trust me on this one

From The Kitchen, From the Bar and a movie – Grilled chicken, shandies and Jack the Giant Slayer
This weekend, it being a little cooler than last, we decided to grill. I pulled out a recipe from my latest issue of Saveur Magazine, Gai Yahng or Thai style chicken with sweet chili sauce. It is basically a cilantro and garlic marinade for chicken, which you then grill. I find gas grills to be … Continue reading From The Kitchen, From the Bar and a movie – Grilled chicken, shandies and Jack the Giant Slayer
From the Bar and From the Kitchen – various beers and roast beast
Samuel Smith Strawberry Ale – Samuel Smith, a brewer out of Great Britain, has a line up of fruit beers. This is our last one to try and I’ll have to say all of them are excellent.

After that last monstrously long post, I figured something light was in order. So here are a few recipes that I’ve made recently. they are cheap. Like many cheap recipes, they can be rather unhealthy. The first is probably one of the worst, but it's a treat.

From the Kitchen – Pot Stickers and Bagels: nope they have nothing in common that I can think of….
Since I now have a fair amount of free time, I have been back in the kitchen trying out some recipes that I’ve wanted to try but was too nervous about to waste a weekend day on.

This weekend’s meal and a movie is the World’s Best Lasagnatm and the movie is one we’ve watched before and love, John Carter (A Princess of Mars). If you enjoy pulp, then watch it.

From the Kitchen – Three classics and kibitzing about movies and TV

From the Kitchen – Hot and Sour Soup, plus a review of the Bible miniseries
This weekend I decided to try hot and sour soup, a staple at Chinese-American restaurants.

I used the recipe for hot and sour soup (Suan La Tang) from … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Hot and Sour Soup, plus a review of the Bible miniseries

Part 2 of the entry for #19 We're at the penultimate post for addressing all of this nonsense! Next are mentions of limestones, living fossils and polystrate fossils.

The quote is “"Creationists are fond of saying that there are very few fossils in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 9, the second half of #19, limestone, coelacanths and circular reasoning
From the Bar and Kitchen – Pizza break
A pizza break to get away from the stultifying theist nonsense and give my poor eyes a rest. This weekend’s meal and a movie is homemade pizza and “The Spirit”. The movie, “The Spirit” is from 2008. It was a riff on what made Sin City popular, stylized graphics, hyperviolence and a distinctly noir feel. … Continue reading From the Bar and Kitchen – Pizza break
