My own Tequila-Lime Venison Steaks. I know, I know … no self-respecting hunter would ever eat this with celery and carrots … As on each and every November 15th, Michigan’s firearm deer season opened this morning. Even yesterday morning, we ran into a friend at the gas station we went to. Like many hunters here he […]

Margaret Rudkin’s 1963 Pepperidge Farm Cookbook
I tried using a smaller pic of this cookbook, but it just didn’t give enough detail of the great cover art. Back on March 27th I posted quite a few photos from a couple long walks Mary and I had taken the day before in the Waterville and Grand Rapids areas of Ohio along US-24 and […]
Recipe: Adam’s Open-Faced Egg Sandwich
Ya’ know, I like it when Adam just cooks something. It always turns out good. This is his concept for an open-faced breakfast sandwich. Toasted & buttered “Everything” bagels, topped with sautéed shredded potatoes (he hand-shredded them, so that’s why they look like sausage here … they were still a tad wet), over-easy eggs, and […]
Recipe: Most Excellent Ground Bologna Sandwich Spread
Last updated November 13, 2019 One of my Ground Bologna sandwiches on white bread, on February 28, 2016. Yeah, I like them even thicker than this. There’s a deli/butcher shop in Burton, Michigan, called Nehring’s Market. We’re more than acquaintances with the Nehring’s as Ralph and his wife are my late younger sister Janet’s Godparents. […]
Recipe: Sweet Meat & Apples; and A Couple Tecumseh Festivals
This photo is just over three years old. That’s why. If you’re headed over to Tecumseh, Michigan, tomorrow or Sunday for this year’s Appleumpkin Festival, make sure you also take the trolley, or make the short drive, to the Kapnick Orchards’ Apple Festival. To be perfectly frank, I happen to enjoy spending time at the Apple […]
Breakfast! Egging On the Grilled Hot Dog Bun
This turned out to be darn good. Click it to see it better. After the kids and I played around with the grilled hot dog buns this past Sunday, I got to thinking about other foods that could go into it besides hot dogs and seafood. One dish that piqued my interest ended up being a […]
Recipe: Adam’s Chicken Enchiladas
A couple weeks ago 15-year-old Adam volunteered to make us his version of Chicken Enchiladas. I went ahead and picked up the ingredients he needed … and then started hearing from his brothers and sister about how amazingly good his enchiladas were. To say Mary and I ended up a bit curious is putting it […]
Recipe: Chili Mac for A U.S. Marine
One of the meals John said he learned to enjoy during his recent U.S. Marine boot camp on Parris Island, South Carolina, was a simple Chili Mac. He’s always liked plain macaroni with a little butter, and would eat mild chili on occasion when I made it. During boot camp the past few months he’s […]
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 […]
