I’ve had a rough time lately, but it’s not just one thing. The economy sucks, stress sucks, a lot of things suck. I’ve had a lot of “things” recently in my life that have seemed to just throw me out of balance. Sadly it’s also given me cooking block. I’m used to writers block or… Read more

Oven Safe Cooling Rack
This has to be one of those things that I can’t really believe I’ve ever lived without. Its a cooling rack that is oven safe. Awesome. Using this I can make chicken parmesan without having the bottom get soggy, let the fat drain off of a meatloaf, or make some pretty awesome bacon. Meatloaf can… Read more
Storin The Bacon
The love affair with bacon is hard to deal with when you really don’t want to be eating a whole pound of bacon at one time because you don’t want it to go bad, especially when there are only two people living in your house. The Husband was trying to be a good man and… Read more
Bakin Bacon!
Husband calls bacon the gateway meat. It has to be one of the most addictive meat products you can buy in the market. I’ve known a few vegetarians who would randomly crave bacon from time to time.

Growing Apples
Sometimes in the morning I’m really not awake. It takes me forever to wake up. So the other morning I was chopping my apple for work and I saw what looked like a worm in the core. When I finally focused my eyes I realized that it wasn’t a worm, but a seed that had… Read more
Green Onions Update
Well it really did work. I didn’t kill them! The only thing I did was change the water half way through the week. I’m really shocked at how quickly these things grew. I’ve seen the obligatory growing a potato in a jar but I never really grew up with growing an onion so this is… Read more
Bulk Blackberry Honey
I love buying in bulk. I always love walking through the little aisles and finding something new to try. This time I decided I wanted to try the honey. I never really knew there was a difference to honey until now. At the store I shop in, they have 3 different types of honey to… Read more
Growing Green Onions Indoors
There are times where I think I have a black thumb. Its not green, it kills things. An old coworker I had once gave me three tomato plants one year. Guess how many tomatoes I got off of those suckers? Three. Yep. Just Three. I told you my thumb is black. Now I’ve decided to… Read more
