Greek “Style” Meat Loaf Dinner
This is quick and easy way to shake up “meat loaf night” a bit. I call it a Greek Style meat loaf because the seasonings used gives the meat loaf a Gyro-esque taste. And it’s mine, so I can call it what I want. 🙂 I paired it with a couple of greek side dishes […]
“Dark Delight” Sandwich – Gregor’s Pub
Recipe time kids! Today it’s a vegetarian sandwich that was inspired by Whole Earth, a little vegetarian place back in Columbus, OH. I’ve used a different spread and changed some of the ingredients, but at it’s heart it’s a “Deb’s on Black.” Simple but oh so tasty. Enjoy. Shopping list – for a couple of […]

Halibut and Scallops with Ceviche
Last Saturday was an “SiS.” Stay in Saturday. I like those kind of days because it means I get to cook and try new things. It’s been a while since we’ve had ceviche, so I headed to the market with the idea of getting “fixins” to make one, and see what else looked good for […]

Phở Bo and Spring Rolls – Gregor’s Pub
There is a Phở noodle place near work, Phở Hoa, that serves the best Phở Tái, Nạm, Gân Sách, which is basically Phở with steak, flank, tendon and tripe. Small little bits of goodness that make me smile with “Phở joy”. Take a gray, rainy Seattle day, have a little Phở, some Thai Iced Coffee […]
Vital Vinaigrettes
Okay kids. Nothing fancy here, just simple vinaigrette dressings. Dirt simple. 3 parts oil, 1 part vinegar, dried herbs ( basil and oregano for example). Mix herbs and vinegar, then slowly add in the oil while beating until it emulsifies. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour over mixed salad greens and enjoy. Like I said, […]
Tasting the Wind
Before I start, let me preface this by saying this past weekend I decided to eschew all things high-tech. No laptop. No email over my phone. No text messaging. Not sure what prompted that, but there you go. Friday: Took off early and went on a ride. It was so nice out, the smell of […]

Potato Soup for the Soul
Potato soup. Man, nothing takes me back to my childhood more than a good bowl of potato soup. I remember being like 12 or so, sledding all day and then entering my grandmother’s house and the smell…oh lord the smell. It enveloped you like a warm blanket. As I got older, I paid more attention […]
