Share My French Press By Mark / April 26, 2019 Yes, I said MY french press. As all the staffers laugh about it, they still come to me to make the coffee. I gave up making drip coffee unless we have a bunch that want the same coffee all the time. I have a great drip machine, don’t get me wrong, but a good cup […]
Share Cutting Boards By Mark / April 26, 2019 Cutting boards provide a safe flat surface for cutting food, a much better choice then countertops or plates.

Share Spatulas Done Right By Mark / April 19, 2019 Spatulas are an absolute necessity in my kitchen. A good spatula saves your cookware, saves your hands, and promotes better mixing and cleanliness.

Over the next several episodes we will explore tofu and some of its cousins as we […]

For this recipe we will use a pork shoulder instead of the wilder version. A pork shoulder, sometimes called a Boston Butt, is an almost perfect […]
Share Fired Fowl By Mark / April 14, 2019 Few things are easier to roast or compliment vegetables as much as roasted chicken, turkey, and other fowl. They can be roasted in minutes and leftovers go great in many other dishes. One of my favorite vendors at my local Saturday morning market has been slow smoking turkey legs and ribs there for over 10 […]
