The Pits
Cooking is a series of trials and tribulations. I think . When meals get boring, when it’s just the same old thing, that’s a red flag that says … it’s time to step out of the box, take chances and try something new. So, this morning I did. Well, [...]

Soup for My Birthday?
Why not? I wasn’t in the mood to bake and I needed something fresh and light for lunch, so I thought I’d use some of the vegetables in the fridge and whip up a light Gazpacho for lunch. Well, that and I had a small skirt steak in the fridge [...]
