Sideways and Oregon Trail Adventure
Our Sideways and Oregon Trail Vacation has been beautiful. It’s been a whirlwind since we landed in San Francisco—we’ve gone to a Giants game, seen a friend get a knife pulled on him (he’s okay, the attacker/ticket broker was “just kidding”), attended a beautiful wedding in Sonoma (more on that later), did some wine tasting […]

Failed!

E and I went to Cross Fit together this morning, and as a post workout breakfast, we were going to make protein crepes filled with fruit for breakfast. But they didn’t come together. Protein crepe crumbs was what we were left with. “I’ll make […]

Old School
My favorite shirt, from my mother’s closet, circa 1975. This was the local hoagie joint in my mom’s New Jersey suburb, back before Blimpie’s and Subway moved in. This shirt has accompanied bell bottoms, skinny jeans, Levi cutoff shorts, pajama pants and running shorts over the years. Note the thin fabric from decades of wear.

Homegrown Meats
This right here is homemade duck pastrami halfway through the cooking process. Those spices, that delish brown color….makes me hungry! Sadly we can’t eat it now.

Taco: Sandwich or Not a Sandwich?
I think I already know the answer to this one, but in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, I thought I’d spark some Latin fused debate. Is a taco a sandwich?

Then they probably would have come out right.” –me, after failing to make banana muffins that held together properly after using almond flour, applesauce and honey instead of flour, oil and sugar, and not paying attention to the measurements of any of the […]

Quesadilla: Sandwich or not a Sandwich?
Me: Does a quesadilla count as a sandwich? E: I want to say yes because I love quesadillas. Me: There’s a piece of tortilla folded over with filling, or two pieces of tortilla with filling. I think it’s closer to a sandwich than the crepe.
