Recipe: Icepocalypse Eggs (Eggs in the fireplace)

1. Wait for the one time per year when Dallas is immobilized by ice. 2. Light a fire, put all your food outside in the ice, and generally stabilize the situation. 3. Find some once used disposable cupcake pans in the cabinet, and coat the insides of the “pools” with butter. 4. Break an egg…

Juicer vs. Blender on a Juicing Binge

We decided to start experimenting with juicing. No, actually, that’s not how it happened really. A few days ago, we got hyped up after watching a documentary on Netflix about how processed foods are poisoning us all, and the benefits of natural foods. In the dramatization, natural food and juicing even helped a lady deal…

The Fishing License Diet

I would just like to say. .. waiting up for Thom = totally worth it. He has been going fishing lately,  and is apparently getting pretty good at it.  He just brought home a batch, and I cooked some of it with rice and the mango pico I made last night. Also,  he went for…

Anyplace Glamorous – Miami, Oklahoma

But I’ve decided to give up-to-the-minute-ness the finger, and start posting the backlog anyway, timeliness be damned. In the interest of that, here’s…

Make-Your-Own Valentine’s Day Gluttony

Thom and I decided to make our own Valentine’s Day feast. I think we are getting to the point where most of the time, we would rather eat our own cooking than go out and eat someone else’s. We have gotten pretty damn good at cooking. I do wish we had wait staff at the…

Stupid Blogs About.. Really Good Stuffed Porkchops That Thom Cooks

I don’t even like pork. If you asked me if I wanted a pork chop, that’s what I would say.. “Eh.. I don’t really like pork.” But these were badass. He also does a fairly famous slow cooked shredded pork that’s really good, but this time, he did seasoned pork chops stuffed with fresh mozzarella…
