When eaten often enough, even STEAK AND MUSHROOMS get old. LOL ARE YOU KIDDING ME NO WAYS. But in the event that you feel like your meat is just ya know.. a boring hunk of meat, look at stuff [...]

The Average Day by Mr. Jones Watches. Awe. This is one hell of a watch. No numbers, no tick marks, just two easy to follow concentric circles that guide you through the actions of a normal day. It’d be morbidly depressing if not for the bright colors and super clean design. [...]

Followed the shrimp etouffee recipe from NOLA Cuisine. It was delicious. I didn’t change a damn thing, except used Tony Chachere’s Cajun Seasoning with a 1/4 teaspoon on dried oregano. Oh, and the puff pastry bowl too (more on that at the bottom of the post). Hee hee.
Don’t get it twisted, this [...]

While Steve and Jade were here last weekend, we had the late-night munchies. To rectify the problem, we stopped by the corner market and I threw down on some grub – Hotdog (turkey for the girls, beef for the guys), cream cheese, jalapeno and sauteed onions and cabbage. SEATTLE DOGS PEEPS.
Nosh. [...]

Baked Salmon, Bay Scallops with Dill and Baby Carrots

Essentially, you take your protein [...]

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pat chicken thighs (bone in & skin on) very dry with paper towels. Liberally add salt and pepper [...]

After doin’ a lil’ shopperoni at the local Target (next time I’m totally gonna get a hot dog and nachos), Liana suggested that we stop by PCC Natural Markets, a Seattle-based co-op, to pick up some quality prepared food.
When we didn’t find anything we were really in the mood for, I looked around and saw [...]
