As I mentioned in the first post, alcohol was certainly not part of my upbringing and I didn't really know anyone who drank, other than some relatives. When alcohol was mentioned, it was typically in a very negative fashion. This was not just because...
While at University of Delaware main campus for a year, I worked a bit in a couple of the campus food areas. One was really just a glorified cafeteria, but the other was probably the most interesting place to get food on campus, a small grill. The biggest...
For some reason, one of the first jobs I got outside the home was in a small restaurant. Not really even sure why now, but it probably impacted the rest of my life in some ways. My first job was at a little cafe in our little town of Greenwood...
Introduction If you've known me for any length of time, you probably know I'm really into food and cooking. Heck, at least half my blog posts mention food in some fashion. I thought it might be interesting to chronicle my relationship with food throughout...
So by about the Saturday after Christmas, we were getting a bit stir crazy at my wife's parents and decided to mosey over to Harrisburg to check out a couple of local craft breweries. We usually go over to Yuengling for their tour, but we've been there...
The Very Good Taste blog has a very interesting idea, put up a list of 100 diverse foods that they think every omnivore should try and have people indicate what they have actually tried. If you want to try this, go to the blog and they have a link to...
There has been a ton of stuff going on this summer related to our research into farming and trying to learn new things. I'm getting behind on blogging about it, so here are a few highlights. Over Memorial Day weekend, we visited our friends James and...
So I've gotten really behind on my blogging, my current project schedule isn't very conducive to blogging. I often blog on my lunch break, but I've only been taking a half hour lunch lately so I can leave work early enough to beat most of the evening...
One of my favorite cookbook authors, Suvir Saran, waxes philosophical on the wonder of home grown eggs. They have some of the South American Araucana hens, which produce eggs in wonderful shades of blue and green. The deep brown ones are quite lovely...
Over this past winter I've been reading a lot of books related to sustainable/organic farming and animal husbandry. One recent book I can highly recommend is The New Organic Grower by Eliot Coleman. The book is chock full of dense, useable information...
Here's what happens when crazily inventive Moto chef Homaro Cantu get "aholt of" some raccoon meat. I grew up in the country and even I've never tried raccoon, although I have had pan-fried squirrel a number of times. Hope that grosses you out.
I had quite the accident just before Christmas while cleaning up after bottling 10 gallons of beer. If I had been aware of what could happen, I might have been more cautious, so I wanted to post my story just in case it helps another homebrewer. We had...
http://mmx-chicago.weblogs.vmixcore.com/vmix_hosted_apps/62/post/1434/ Good news for the Alinea chef, his cancer is now in remission. Hope it stays that way because I still want to some day be able to experience his cooking for myself.
Last year Kristin and I were having a big Thanksgiving dinner shindig at our place and wanted to do something different for the turkey. After looking at several options, we decided to purchase a heritage Bourbon Red turkey from Caveny Farms and picked...
Last night Kristin and I went to see DJ Tiesto live at the Congress Theater. That experience is probably better for another post, but we got in very late and didn't get up until noon today. So we decided to finally trek over to Over Easy on Damen. This...
