How to make a really, really good (and gooey) breakfast sandwich
Fry two slices Taylor Pork Roll. I prefer thick slices. If you’re unfamiliar with Taylor Pork Roll, it’s a processed ham product, not unlike Spam, that is popular in New Jersey. I like it quite a lot…it really is like Spam, … Continue reading

From the Books: “Make the Bread, Buy the Butter” (a repost)
From the archives: I don’t own this book yet. But I’ve had it checked out of the library a majority of the weeks it’s been in the collection, which means that it’s well past time for me to get off … Continue reading

I’ll take “Things Measured by ‘a cuppa'”, Ken

Restaurants come, restaurants go….

Sadly, we had no canoli….
Tonight for dinner, I made a dish called “Godfather Pasta”. It’s a dish of pasta with a cheesy garlicy sauce, also stirred in with cured Italian meats, banana peppers, roasted red peppers, and olives. It’s freakishly delicious. After we ate, … Continue reading
My Blue Heaven
I learned a new drink yesterday: the Blue Hawaii. This is not to be confused with the Blue Hawaiian, which is a slightly different drink that incorporates cream of coconut. Via liquor.com: The Blue Hawaii cocktail was born at Honolulu’s … Continue reading
