Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

You know how there is just some comfort food that you wonder how the rest of the world hasn’t picked up on yet?  Grilled Cheese Sandwiches is one of those phenomenons.

Old Friend – New Adventure

You know when you meet someone and you instantly know that you are going to be friends?  This is not a story of this type of scenario.  Instead, this is a coworker, turned peer, turned friend over the course of seven years. Two very similar people with the same work ethic bonded over late night […]

Comfort Food

Every time I have a visitor from the US, I’m asked the same questions…. What can we bring you from home? What food do you need? Now I have a pretty standard list of food items that we are always wanting: Ranch dressing Taco Sauce Jerky Mac and Cheese (velveeta or kraft… we don’t discriminate!) […]

Welsh Cakes

Guys… have I told you about Welsh Cakes yet? Oh.my.god. I can’t compare it to anything in the states, because nothing compares. Nothing.  The texture is kinda like a center piece of a bar cookie… you know the ones you cook in an 8×8 pan when you are too lazy to cook real cookies.  But […]
