  • Recipe Cioppino

    Cioppino


    A few years back I took a business trip to San Francisco, while there I had some of the best seafood I've had in years and have since spent time trying to replicate some of those vittles. While the cioppino I ate there was amazing I certainly can't[...]

    Experiments in Home Curing

  • Recipe Putting Christmas Gifts to Good Use

    Putting Christmas Gifts to Good Use

    Bucking trends...


    I have never been big on following the trends, I've never cared too much to go buy the latest clothes (although I don't think I'm unfashionable, guess that's easy to say since I'm the one judging myself) and truth is once I find something I love (be[...]

    When a house becomes a home...


    For a little over a year and a half now I have been living in a great house in a suburb of Austin, my little yellow dog and I have rented it and have grown to love it, so at the end of last year when the management company asked if I'd be interested[...]
  • Recipe Happy Independance Day Texas!

    Happy Independance Day Texas!


    As if it were any secret, I'm a big fan of my state, actually I'm really proud of my family too (see the two are pretty well intertwined). Texas is the only state in the union to have been its own country, we even had embassies outside the US![...]
  • Recipe Texas Beef meets Aussie Pies

    Texas Beef meets Aussie Pies


    Of late I have been inspired by things around me, either restaurants in the area, food trucks who provide amazing goodies to us office dwellers at lunch or grocery stores/farmers markets. I am fortunate to be surrounded by amazing food and[...]
  • Recipe Central Texas Snow Day

    Central Texas Snow Day


    Snow is a rarity around here, by rarity I mean I can count the number of times in my life that it's happened on one hand! With that in mind, I get as giddy as a little kid to hear we have a possibility of snow and even more excited when it truly[...]
