    Chicken Nachos

    City Chicken

    When I was growing up my Grandma Donna used to make us City Chicken.  It was always the best meal of the year.  This year we decided to make City Chicken for our Christmas meal.  What is City Chicken you ask?  Well it is a combination of meat on a stick that appears to look…

  • Cheese Bread

    Last year I went to a little diner in New Jersey called Mastoris and discovered this amazing cheese bread. I wanted to recreate it, but unlike a standard cheese danish this had a bread-like texture. So after a little searching online, I found the perfect recipe to recreate it at home.

  • Bottling Beer

    Back in October I brewed beer with a couple friends at Shenandoah Brewery.  Here is the link.  Last week before the giant blizzard we went back to bottle it.  It was a pretty simple procedure taking about an hour and a half for 120 bottles.  In the end we ended up with a fine product….

  • DC Weather

    So I was going to cook yesterday to make a nice post for today, but the lines at the grocery store were 50 people long.  Why you ask, supposedly there was going to be a big winter storm rolling through.  So I put my groceries back and decided to risk it.  I did not want…
