Emma used to get up on the back of our old couch all the time, walk along it, and perch to watch us. She hadn't gotten up on the back of the new couch yet, though. It's a bit taller, and she just didn't have motivation to get ...

Tonight, I made Chinese pork lettuce wraps, very similar to my Chinese chicken lettuce wraps, but using a pork tenderloin instead of the chicken thighs. We like the chicken version slightly better, but this was very good, and a great way to use up a pork tenderloin we had sitting ...

Dinner tonight was my beer roasted chicken. I went with a rub of kosher salt, black pepper, pressed garlic, and fresh thyme, with a bit of canola oil to hold it together. It was quite good as always :-)

I steamed myself an artichoke today to go with dinner. Shaun's not a fan, so more for me :-) Artichokes are easy to prepare - just cut off the top inch, trim the stem a bit, and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the base ...

This easy recipe is very similar to the tonkatsu pork recipe. Baking reduces the fat. I just did these in our toaster oven so I wouldn't have to wait on the large oven for such a small recipe. They are quite bland, so after taking the picture ...

Today's dinner was inspired by this one on AllRecipes. It was indeed fast, and I'm sure it would be kid friendly. Just the thing for a couple slightly upset tummies :-P I served this with some quick braised brussels sprouts. Since they were so small, I ...
