I happen to have a 13-year-old who is enjoying growing his own herb garden. Ryan’s not a member of 4-H, FFA or any of those other organizations which generally promote this type of behavior. He simply has an herb garden. And loves it. Ryan is quite proud of this garden and has begun bringing me […]

Dinner at Hillside House, St. Ignace, Michigan
There are many places in the Great Lakes region where Whitefish is listed in the menus of restaurants as being “fresh” as well as being labeled with, “caught locally”.

Kilgus Coarse Liverwurst, For the Health Of It
One of the most important aspects of dealing with the nosebleeds I’ve been having is rebuilding the blood supply. Losing three to four units of blood inside of a week seriously drains a person’s strength. As I didn’t quite qualify for a transfusion, getting more iron back into the bloodstream becomes imperative for any kind […]

Recipe Re-Post: Mom’s Dill-Pickle-Sauced Meatloaf
Yesyterday would have been my parents’ 56th anniversary. Oddly enough, dad would have been 86 yesterday as well. See, dad told mom he was going to marry her by the time he turned 30 years old, and he beat it by a day. And people wonder why I wait till the last minute to get […]

Favorite Sandwich: Braunschweiger!
A couple weeks ago on Serious Eats out of NYC I asked the question, “What’s your favorite simple sandwich?” I felt I needed to explain what I felt a simple sandwich was: When you want a simple sandwich, what do you make? PB&J? Ham and Swiss with mayo on white bread? Grilled cheese with one slice of cheese […]
Recipe: Mom’s Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler
This image is almost three years old … and I never posted it before?? A couple days ago I was over at Shelby’s food blog reading her post describing her Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler with Cornmeal Biscuit Topping. At one point Shelby wrote: Next time I make this, it’s going to be with peaches, since peach cobbler […]

Holy Flurking Schlidt. I haven’t posted in a week. I’m appalled. I’ve had every intention of posting before this, […]
