So that happened. Wanna hear read about it? As I mentioned before, I was asked to design a kegerator for the Steel City Big Pour at Construction Junction. I had some difficulty finding a place to paint since I needed to spray multiple layers, but ultimately the good folks at Construction Junction set me up [...]

I think cooking can definitely fall into the “art” category quite easily. And the final meal we had – and cooked ourselves – in Chicago (remember that?!) was definitely high art. We made filled pasta. From scratch. When I say “we” I mean “not me”. I helped. But this is not my area of expertise [...]

Tonight I finished my kegerator for the Big Pour. But this is all you get to see until the event.

As I said before, I am not a fan of the new Market Square design because of the lack of green space. I am, however, a huge fan of the expanded footprint for the weekly farmer’s market, and the fact that I work within sight of all the cool stuff that goes on over there. [...]

Because it was so hot and humid today, I decided to make a cold dinner. Genius. Except that most of the components of said dinner had to be cooked first. So it wasn’t the most brilliant in terms of execution, but when I actually cooled off enough to sit down and eat it, it was [...]

Last evening I had the absolute great pleasure of hosting a little gathering at Arsenal Ciderhouse and Wine Cellar, a new source for libations in Lawrenceville. The PG had a lovely writeup about the place on my birthday last week, and as soon as I got a chance to confirm with owners Bill and Michelle [...]

(That’s not a typo.) Today we celebrated six fathers with four generations. That’s a lot of dads. And a lot of food. We also celebrated three birthdays, because that’s just how our family does things in the summer months. From May 9 through July 25, we have three anniversaries and ten birthdays on top of [...]

Many of you know that the Sharp Edge and I go way back – through both good times and bad. The Beer Emporium in Friendship has been a constant in my life for over a decade (again with the good and the bad) and it has relatively recently reclaimed its rightful spot as my favorite [...]

I already posted for today, so this is short and sweet not to fulfill my #NaBloPoMo obligation, but to share knowledge. Knowledge gained by further experimentation when I realized I didn’t have enough oats to make more bread today, yet I wanted to take fresh bread to a dear friend’s home this evening. Doesn’t “knowledge” [...]

Nothing like a stifling humidity to make working in the kitchen so much more appealing… But that’s exactly what I did tonight – I cooked and baked again and again, as if to make up for the slacking I’ve done in that regard over the past week. The through line for all of it was [...]
