Man, is it cold here in Georgia! Yeah, I know, no snow or craziness, but we’re used to that humid heat! I decided to whip up an easy shepherd’s pie with a couple packets of extra steaks I had in my freezer that were starting to freezer-burn, which probably wouldn’t have been so great by…

My Fanciest Dish Ever, Duck 3 Ways
As many of you know I love going to the Saturday Market on the River in Augusta. A few weeks ago, Talumeria Farm & Retreat had a table set up and they had whole Pekin duck (not Peking, that’s a dish). Of course I had to buy one. Small problem though, Sarah doesn’t eat duck….
New Content Format and Platform Additions
A while back we mentioned possibly starting a YouTube channel. We explored it, made a sample video, got some friendly feedback and then kind of just left it, hidden. Thanks to Covid, we couldn’t really do reviews and honestly, there wasn’t much new in the area anyway. Out of sheer boredom Eric started down a…
Post Apocalyptic Food Procurement or, You Died of Dysentery
Not long before our country decided it was time to start another era of civil unrest making “preppers” look less stupid, I began to wonder about, and subsequently educate myself on, how food staples we take for granted (like salt, spices, sugar, flour, yeast {bread/brewers} vinegar, vegetable oil etc) came to be and how to…
Timbuktu Cafe – Augusta, GA
Yesterday I was out and about town and somehow found my way down Walton Way where I happened to spot this “new” restaurant. Because I am who I am, I did a U-turn and went in for lunch. I admit that while I have no idea what West African food tastes like, it can’t be…
Going straight to the vlogging?
Since we’re finally going to get serious about this blog we figured why not jump right from 2001 to 2010 and become current (well, as current as you can being old). Then I realized, I don’t have the equipment and I don’t want to spend the money. I have an old GoPro Hero+ that I…
New category, new content, new opinions, new look and why.
Our readers (if we still have any) know we are horrible about new content. While we could blame it on YouTube (seriously, do people read further than the headline anymore) and prove that Buggles is correct (think “Video killed the radio star” but more like vlogging killed the blogger something or another) we take full…
Necessity is the mother of all invention…… in cooking?
Most of us know this adage. We’ve been exposed to it all our lives. Most of the time you can see the truth in it as you get a “new and improved” anything. Have you ever considered it’s application in cooking? Probably not consciously but I guarantee you’ve made some sort of “this and that”…
The Cute Cubain (My take on the Cuban Sandwich)
Shredded pork roast, ham, cheese, pickles, mustard on a bun. That’s it. It’s as simple as that. Or is it? Why am I writing a post about it if it’s so simple that people have probably been making these things and not realizing that’s what they’re making? Because I like to write? Well I do,…
