We were having lots of people over on Sunday (including our new nephew!) and we wanted something quick and easy. Gina bought some chili seasoning mix on a deep discount this summer. Even though it wasn’t chili weather, we decided it would be the least amount of trouble to cook.I’m picky about chili. I don’t [...]
I don’t usually cook hamburgers at the beginning of the grilling season — I try to do something more dramatic than that. But we forgot to get something up the night before so I got some ground beef from the freezer just before we left for church. And it was sixty degrees today. [...]
I mentioned this book earlier, but this is the full review.
Heat is a true story about Bill Buford who was assigned to do a profile on Mario Batali for The New Yorker. What his boss probably didn’t know is that Buford has always wanted to be a cook in a restaurant, to really [...]
As Gina wrote, yesterday was “Meals for a Month” time again, when she and I make 15 different meals to feed us for a month. This month went better than last time, but then we only make them for us not for Gina’s sister and her husband. Half as many meals makes a [...]

Imagine a non-electric way to keep food (including meat) fresh yet cheap and easy enough to use in the Third World. It’s called the Zeer Pot. Read the Science in Africa story. A simple idea that could just change a continent for the better.

Gina had found this recipe on Friday and got the chicken marinating. When I got home from work, I told Gina I wasn’t [...]
I promise that this isn’t turning into a food blog, but there just a lot of stuff happening there.
Like this interview with Anthony Bourdain. He talks about his food adventures, travel, Rachel Ray, etc., and is his usual cranky self:
Q Vegetarians?
A Joyless, angry, frightened, anti-human, and just plain rude. How can you travel and [...]
I’ve blogged on this before, but if you are into grilling, then you need to get the The Barbecue! Bible. Your grilling experience will be expanded beyond burgers, brats, and chicken breasts. Gina could tell you that I can sit and browse this cookbook all summer long. And every year [...]
As I’ve said before — we grill a lot in the summer. Usually about 3-4 times a week, sometimes more. The other day, Gina got some good old American favorites up from the freezer — chicken breasts and put them into a good marinade. While the whole country seems to like them, [...]
I have a secret — I don’t like baked beans, especially the ones straight from the can. I never have. My tolerance for them has gotten better, though. When I was little, I would start gagging when I put baked beans in my mouth. Now I can swallow them and fake a smile, [...]
