We are gearing up for the annual Seabury Craft’s Fair held annually the Saturday before Mother’s Day. And what does this have to do with a food blog? Well, duh, somebody has to feed the boys so they can do their work! Had a lot of prep work for the fair in terms of our […]
So we went all day with no real Mexican food and it just seemed wrong. I know Cinco de Mayo is not a real Mexican celebration, although is does commemorate one battle’s victory, having grown up in California it was always noted. It was time for an afternoon snack (that actually was filling enough for […]
Well, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that means turkey and all the trimmings. Turkey is best when it has been brined for a couple of days. This helps to make the turkey really moist. You can get as creative as you want with your brine. Just start with the basics – salt and […]

Ok so here’s the deal. We went to a meeting tonight and skipped dinner. By the time we got home we needed a little snack but not a whole meal, so this is how it went down. I started out with my all time favorite bread that I get from Costco – “Alpine Valley” Natural […]
Well it has been a very busy week. We are hosting the class called “Flowers and Flavors” which combines photography of flower as well as food. Every day the students go out and enjoy flower farms as well as flowers out in the wild and at night we get to share a great meal together […]
Randy and I took our weekly trip to Costco today. We have decided that the best time to hit Costco is as early as can be on a Saturday morning. It seems to fit in our schedule and although I don’t like being out in public before 10 am except on Sundays, I would rather […]
