I wanted  cheddar cheese biscuits for breakfast. Unfortunately, I was out of cheddar so instead, I grated some Parmigiano–Reggiano and added some black pepper.    I offered to make Moe bacon and scrambled eggs to serve with the biscuits but he was happy with just biscuits topped with butter. I used my regular biscuit recipe…

  Our friend Bud,  gave us a  Sockeye Salmon.  Too big for one meal so I cooked half of it for dinner and the other half is in the freezer.      I also got a piece of cedar from Bud.  I was going to get Moe to sand it, but since I was putting…

I had a craving for something spicy.  And I wanted something Asian. So I combined the two and made Chicken Wings with a spicy Asian sauce.  I made these for the first time about 4 months ago.  Not sure why I waited so long to make them again.   Double frying the wings makes for a…

The heatwave only lasted four days, unfortunately. I seem to be one of the few people out here who actually likes really hot weather.  We went from being in the 90’s to dropping back into the high 60’s. The only good thing about that was I could turn the oven on again. Tuesday was the…
