And I died a little inside. Twice.

September 15, 2023May 25, 2023

Last night, as I was driving home from dinner at my aunt and uncle’s house, I was listening to a local radio station. After a commercial break, the young female DJ announced that she was playing the “Cockatoo Twins” next. Or, as she put it, “The Cock…Cock…Cockatoo Twins? I can’t make heads or tails of…

Ice Capades

September 8, 2023September 7, 2023

The local weather reporters have been predicting severe winter storms for nearly a week now. Last week it was heavy snow and freezing fog. This week it’s single-digit temperatures, black ice, drifting and blowing snow. You know, everything you guys expect a Montana winter to be like: cold, wet, dangerous, nearly Arctic. However, in the…

10 Readers and We Already Get Plagiarized

August 27, 2023May 25, 2023

I was in a pretty good mood until I was checking referrals this morning. Let it just be said that a post from this site was copied verbatim without approval, link-back or any sort of acknowledgment whatsoever. And when contacted? Still no link to this site or the original post, just a lazy mention of…

What’s That? Why, It’s Delicious!

August 19, 2023May 25, 2023

After Erin offered up a recipe for creamed spinach and then held it ransom for days, she finally broke down and gave me the skinny on the most delicious creamed spinach I’ve ever had. The whole thing costs a small fortune to make and it will probably raise your cholesterol, blood pressure and body mass,…

The House is Still Standing (Barely)

August 10, 2023May 25, 2023

Wednesday evening I came home, cut some squash, shredded some cabbage and onion, got my ingredients out for the lemon pie, juiced said lemons and was baking the crust and another pie in the oven. Somewhere in the midst of all that I had it in my mind to do a crossword puzzle. As usual,…

Helter Skelter

July 25, 2023May 25, 2023

Hey, have I ever told you guys about my brush with the Manson Family? Well, the hangers-on of the hangers-on of the Manson Family? Judging by the number of site hits, I thought not. When I was in elementary school my best friend Michelle’s family had a cabin on a tributary of the Russian River…

Bland, Thy Name is Chicken Parmesan

July 15, 2023May 25, 2023

Okay, okay. It wasn’t that bad. But after trying out this recipe last night, there wasn’t much to be impressed about. To put it simply, I’m not sure that cornmeal and panko go together. Oh, don’t get me wrong – they taste great together – but the problem here is that you’ll be lucky if…

Keeping Things Fresh

July 9, 2023May 25, 2023

After well over ten years, I finally decided to change my check design. I know, I know. What a bourgeois thing to be discussing in this age of Iraq, Darfur, that bridge in Minnesota and Lindsay Lohan returning to rehab, but hey, I like to think globally, act locally halfway down the block on my…

Oregon Bounty

July 2, 2023May 25, 2023

As you’ve gathered from reading this site, Matt and I are foodies. I got a chance to buy fresh local products straight from the growers this past week during my vacation in Oregon. I bought fresh walnuts and hazelnuts from orchards around McMinnville, four varieties of cheese from the Willamette Valley Creamery, aged vintage white…

Camp Zucchini

July 1, 2023May 25, 2023

Matt found a great baking blog the other day, alpineberry. We’ve been going through the different recipes on the site, and last night I was inspired to use the last of last summer’s zucchini (that’s not as disgusting as it sounds…I wash and grate my homegrown zukes, and freeze them in bagged two-cup batches for…
