Josh and His Dad Experiment: Vanilla Almond Snow Cream
Everyone has made snow cream in the winter, right? Well, we made it in the summer, which seems like a much more logical time to be eating frozen treats. Honestly, we didn’t know we were making snow cream at the … Continue reading
Fish and Grits
I like to joke that the first place I ever ate grits was in New Hampshire, which is arguably the southernmost state in New England. In reality, though, I ate plenty of grits as a kid–we just called it polenta. … Continue reading
Yuca with Pork
There used to be a Salvadoran restaurant across town, with the rather creative name of “Restaurant El Salvador.” I had my first introduction to pupusas there–a life changing event, to be sure. It was also the place where I was … Continue reading
(Leftover) Rice Pudding

What do you do when you want to serve up a vegetable that only you like? What else? You fry it. Better yet–fry it, then cover it with sauce and cheese! That’s my solution for eggplant. We’ve been having some … Continue reading
Variations on a Stew: Garlic, Cinnamon, and Paprika
We’re running out of winter here in the South–not that we really had a winter this year! Stews are fine throughout the year, I suppose, but for me they definitely fall into that category of dishes that just taste a … Continue reading
Ponyo Soup
By now you should know just how much Josh loves a good soup. This one makes everyone happy, especially Josh’s baby sister. Why? In a word, and to quote Ponyo: “Haaaammm!” One of the few things in this world that … Continue reading
