Simple car camping by the river near the coast, bring whatever you can fit in the car, I know we did.

Art of Cuisin'

VIDEO #272
Song - "Zorba the Greek" by Gypsy Kings
Santa dropped by the other day and left a couple kitchen gadgets for the queen of the house. A sweet, sexy food processor made her grin ear to ear and the first recipe tonight... a delicious greek hummus. Very tasty and the flavors linger whether I want them to or not. Strong awesomeness, hello toothbrush.

Lasagna Night

VIDEO #267
Song - "Lasagna" by Weird Al Yankovitch
Birthday dinner in two styles, gluten free meatless healthy style (aka Cheese Louise) or dangerously awesome wheat-meat style (aka Man Pie) decorated and cooked with tender loving care. I went Man Pie in celebration of the 30th. I feel much manlier today.

Holiday Nut Sacks

VIDEO #256
Song - "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Frank Sinatra
As long as I have known Katana, she has been making her famous holiday nut sacks and sending them out for the holidays. Her production has doubled from the early days and with this video, I think it's safe to say, she'll have her hands full of nut sacks this coming week. Tasty nuts!

Magic Pies

In a perfect world, pies would make themselves, right? Well Skymall has done it again, they've come out with the Magic Pie Range, from Maytag! You only need a dish, patience and an oven mitt, the rest is magic!... but, to cover my butt I should say the better half has been slaving in the kitchen for the last couple hours making Thanksgiving apple and pumpkin pies. She is the real magic pie maker. Brownie points, take them where you can get them.

Sometimes You Feel Like A Pickle

VIDEO #204
Songs - "The King of Carrot Flowers" by Neutral Milk Hotel and "Carrot Rope" by Pavement
Harvest is here and this year, with the success in the carrot department, pickling was on the menu. There are tons of fast and easy recipes out there so if you're bored of gnawing on those carrots, try something new... try pickling! Cauliflower, onion, broccoli stems, cucumber and radishes work well too. Crunchy goodness!

Katana's Non Stick Magic Pan

VIDEO #184

Song - "Breakfast at Tiffanys" by Deep Blue Something

The days of scrubbing and scrubbing eggs off our All-Clad are finally over! Katana researched a safer alternative to Teflon and found Calphalon. If you use the correct care it doesn't kill you. I guess only time will really tell... stay tuned.

There really is no excuse for this video other than we're going on a 170 of these things.

Cooking with Katana: Blackberries

VIDEO #134
Song - "Blackberry Winter" by Aram
After exploring the area more, we are finding little edible bonuses around the neighborhood. On a what-should-be road, instead footpath, live cherry sized plums and delicious crab apples. Also, there are tons of blackberries down the road where Katana and I grabbed tubs and headed out for a little urban foraging. The final result, little blackberry pies or tarts if you will. Ummmmm, delicious!

Microwave Lessons

I have been waking up unusually early these days and I think my focus and common sense have been compromised due to that. This incident took place this morning and I would like to know if I am the only one who has started their day off this way. Caution to those with weak hearts, the detail in this video is "juicy!"
