The Noshery

Lamb Ragu

If anyone has been following my twitter feed you are well aware that my camera is sick and has been sent to Dr. Canon. I cannot express how upset I was to send my camera off for repair. I feel like I have lost an appendage. Alas I have hope that it will return to me like new and we will be back to our old tricks again. Unfortunately I have no back-up camera and this is hindering my posting process. I went digging through my photos to see if I had something that I hadn't posted yet. I found this ...

Really? Seriously?

You have have one of those days? A day that if something went right it would not fall into the status quo of your day. Several years back when I was still a singleton living by myself in a small studio apartment with a puppy that chewed on my shoes and carpet, chaos, disorganization and general madness was the status quo in my life. It usually had to do with over extending myself, not managing my time properly and the fact that my new puppy had chewed the crotch....yes I said crotch out of my pants....and I now had to find something else to wear. Now-a-days ...

Posole: Pork and Hominy Soup

Yesterday I posted Carnitas in an attempt to revolutionize taco night. Because that is my job....my purpose.....no! My reason for living! Taco night ¡Revolución! *fist in the air* Ok I may have taken that a wee-bit too far, but you get the idea. I had quite a bit of carnitas leftover from my taco night ¡Revolución!. It was to be expected, 3 pounds of pork shoulder for 2 people is a little much, but I was sure to make good use of my leftovers. To be honest the whole purpose of making the carnitas was to make a posole soup. I am ashamed ...

Carnitas

Let's make taco night a special night. Bypass the gritty ground beef with the taco seasoning envelope and those stale taco shells, that break when you bite into them ultimately spilling taco juice all over your white shirt. Because that is usually how it works doesn't it? The great thing about these tacos is that they can come together as easily as the other tacos with the use of a slowcooker. Contrary to popular belief a slowcooker is just for pot roast. Don't stereotype the slowcooker, it can do some pretty cool things. First you need a 3 lbs pork shoulder (butt) ...

Practice Makes Perfect

Did you know that the best way to start a wedding rehearsal is to rehearse it backward. Not walk backwards...silly! Start with everyone lined up at the front, practice walking out and then practice coming back in and lining up again. Follow? Do you know what the bride can expect of her bridesmaids during a wedding rehearsal? A sudden onset of ADHD. Messing and teasing each other while standing up front. Bursting out into "God Bless America" when the bride practices her entrance. Being scolded by the bride's mother for not paying attention....and then making her laugh along with them because they are such dorks. Not ...

Minty Fresh Bride

Hopefully from here on, my life will resume some normalcy and I will be back in the kitchen this weekend. The holidays were busy, then we had a Susan come to visit and a few short days after she left Obed and I had to head out for Rebecca and Jerry’s wedding. Almost as soon as we arrived in Florida I was on the run, but Obed and I couldn’t... [Read more of this review]

Christmas Day

On Christmas morning at about 8:00 am Obed whispers in my ear, “Let’s get up and open presents and then we can play outside in the snow with the dogs.” He is a big kid at heart what can I say. I am A-OKAY with it. It makes things around here fun. So that is exactly what we did. We jumped out of bed like two dorks and ran... [Read more of this review]

Christmas Eve

It started snowing around 4 pm Christmas Eve and after our Evil Knievel drive home from church this was the state of our backyard at 7:00 pm. Obed immediately got suited up and ran outside with the dogs to play in the snow. They ran around and played and the labs stuck their faces in the snow trying to eat it. Buster and Honey decided it was... [Read more of this review]
