Bolst Curry Powder (Mild)
Bolst Curry Powder Mild (100g, 3.53 oz) I’m loyal to Bolst curry powder because honestly it was one of first spice mixes I bought as my interest in cooking grew. I’ve tried several other brands which are all collecting dust. The initial appeal was the packaging. I love that it’s a canister which you get […]

How to Cook Onions: Validation from Slate
From the article: How to Cook Onions in Slate In truth, the best time to caramelize onions is yesterday. Often enough, you need to have them ready before you can start on the rest of the dish.

Once again the primary ingredient is the tepary bean. The flavor is reminiscent of ganthia but with more spice. On a spice scale of 1 […]
Food and Wine Pairing: roast beef swiss sandwich + red wine (Rex Goliath Pinot Noir)
I never write about wine because it’s honestly still a little intimidating. Since beginning dating a special someone years ago I developed an interest. After a visit to Switzerland I brought back some amazing cheese, chocolate and a bottle of wine. Since it was 7 years ago the name is lost to time though I […]

At any given time I keep several foods on hand if I’m in a bind for a quick meal, among them are: Hash brown patties, baked beans, and bhel mix. When you combine the three together, you get salty from the hash brown and bhel and the sweet from the baked beans. Because of the […]
