Leaf — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:23:32 +0000

For this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, I made chicken wings using this Buttermilk Roast Chicken recipe I had tried a week or so ago. I had originally done it using drumsticks as the recipe recommended and it was very simple …

We’ve been trying to explore our hometown a little every weekend. Food-wise mainly. Just about every weekend, is a new find and I’m actually getting more and more impressed with the food around here. This surprising find is located in …

When the weather outside is frightful, we like to stay in and play games. The latest one we bought this week was San Juan. We played it a little in Taiwan and because this one can be a two to …

Business as usual

Yesterday we had another game night with cousins and a couple of their college friends. That was when we went to BGR and watched them, amazed, scarf down 2 burgers a piece. A reminder of how we once were and …

The epitome of fine dining

Leaf — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 00:26:02 +0000

Pizza and burgers are conceptually such simple foods, and yet so hard to do well at home. At least for me. For over 2 long weeks, I have been hankering for a pizza loaded with anchovies. One whole pizza all …

SNOW!!
