From the Kitchen – port peppercorn sauce and a petit beef tenderloin filet
Although we’ve wandered a bit off of the South Beach diet lately, we are doing pretty well in keeping any new weight from being added back on. It does help us to weigh ourselves every day, just to keep an eye on things. We also got back some lab reports and everything is better, including cholesterol (your … Continue reading From the Kitchen – port peppercorn sauce and a petit beef tenderloin filet
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 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 Bar – a handful of new spirits and wines to try plus a new snack
We went on a shopping trip to replenish the bar. These were mostly on sale at the PA liquor stores when we were there last week. Bacardi Black (Carta Negra) Rum – This is a strange one. To our palate, it is wood and smoke, coal smoke. There is the standard sweet molasses rum taste, … Continue reading From the Bar – a handful of new spirits and wines to try plus a new snack
From the Kitchen and From the Bar – experimenting with roots, a pie and a bottle of mead
The local large grocery store has a small section of unusual fruits and vegetables, at least unusual to me, she who grew up in very white, very Protestant rural Pennsylvania and who hadn’t a chance to talk to someone who had skin any darker than her pale pink until she went to college. I decided … Continue reading From the Kitchen and From the Bar – experimenting with roots, a pie and a bottle of mead
From the Kitchen – how things don’t quite work out like you might hope
This weekend we decided we needed to make something new. My husband suggested that we wrap meat around “something”. We narrowed that down to pork and the something to be a mix of cheeses and various flavorings. So we got a pork loin roast (a little over a kilo), cut it into one long flat … Continue reading From the Kitchen – how things don’t quite work out like you might hope
What The Boss Likes – Central PA wineries and a brewery
I finally got a Saturday off, so we went traveling for the day. Here in central PA, there are some wineries that we had never visited and a brewery that I read about for years but never visited. I don’t know if we were simply lucky or if all the wineries are good, but the … Continue reading What The Boss Likes – Central PA wineries and a brewery
