Gremolata is a very easy to make condiment that compliments meats, pasta, and vegetables incredibly well. It is perhaps most know for it’s use with ossobuco. Although made simply of parsley, garlic, and lemon, these three ingredients certainly add up to more than the sum of their parts. Upon first tasting you may find it […]

This sauce is a SUPER EASY staple to have in your repertoire. Perhaps you’ll measure for the first few times you make it, but soon enough you will find that you can easily toss together a rough proportion, or even experiment with some of your other favorite flavors, (try adding ginger or substituting ponzu!) for […]

This recipe is my own creation inspired by my recent discovery of Ćwikła/Tsvikli, an Eastern European relish that uses beets and horseradish. This one, here, is a fantastic recipe, but I had a heck-of-a-time trying to come up with a better name than an obvious list of ingredients. As you can see from the title […]

As Ćwikła in Poland or tsvikli (цвіклі) in Ukraine this relish, a combination of beets and horseradish, is very commonly used as a spread on sliced bread, and is in-fact so popular that it is sometimes referred to as Ukrainian Kimchi. In Russian, hron (Хрoн) means simply horseradish, but also usually refers to this relish with both […]

Today marked our third Vlog. We finished our 4 day weekend with a third day of pressure washing and scraping paint to prep our property for fresh paint. It’s just a crappy job. I wish I could say we were totally done with it. You also get to watch Mr. Nathan play in a puddle […]

Day two of your first weekend Vloging. It was fun to plan out the set up of a few of these shots, and I really enjoyed using the fast forward option. It was also really fun to surprise Somya with Korean Fried Chicken for her birthday! I thank you if this isn’t the first time […]

First off, always give credit where credit is due. Although there are some subtle changes that make this recipe my own, I definitely used Anthony Bourdain’s recipe as a major leaping off point. As soon as I read that he uses a two day technique with a partial fry and a freeze in the middle, […]

We don’t have a huge number of exciting things going on in our daily life right now, but perhaps someday we will, and this last weekend was a great chance for me to try my hand at Vloging. There are 2 other videos to conclude our long weekend. Each have their own little surprises and […]

We have successfully finished our first unit in Fire Fighter Skills. For homeschool this year I started a couple weeks early with a partial schedule, including this unit, as a way to establish a routine, get back in the groove, and to assess how much time will need to be devoted to each subject. This […]

At the store recently I asked Nathan what kind of vegetable he would like to go with dinner and he picked out some nice looking zucchini. I know there are a lot of people who are not really fans of zucchini. In fact, I don’t often get it myself. I am simply not a ‘Spiralizor’ […]
