We needed to use up a couple leftover hot dog buns from dinner the other night, so I melted a tablespoon and a half of butter, added a couple cloves of pressed garlic and a few generous pinches of oregano and parsley, spread the mixture over the buns, and popped ...

Tonight we tried Garlic Jim's Pizza in Mukilteo. We had a coupon for 30% off our first online order, so we got a Hercules, some garlic bread sticks, and some garlic wings. This was a definite win! A lot of the pizza places out here go way ...

These are a decent side dish - easy and flavorful. The inspiration for these came from Shaun describing "smashfries" from a place called Smashburger in Grand Junction. Mine are a sort of thin steak fry, and I've gone the oven route for ease and saving of some calories ...

This is an easy and warming meal for a misty evening. Shaun's away this weekend, so I can use a little dairy in some of my cooking if I feel like it. This Russian dish is often made with thin strips of beef, but ground beef is what ...

Today was my Friday off, and as I had to drop Shaun at the airport, I took the opportunity to explore the Southcenter Mall. It's the newest mall in the region and was very nice. Many many stores that enginerd me could not care any less about, ...
