  On Standing…

  Posted on July 8, 2010 by Dan in lists.

  Hi there. So, we were on the East Coast for a few days recently, so the blog has been a bit slow. I’m sure it didn’t help that the last time I was here, I was a bit feisty. But, you should be happy to know that I have lots of ideas for upcoming blog […]

• Advice: Don’t tell me I’m ‘overreacting’

  Posted on June 23, 2010 by Dan in Uncategorized.

  At any given time, there is inevitably a commercial or two on heavy rotation that makes me want to throw the TV out the window and then call up the company and go all upset feminist on their ass. Usually, I also end up hearing something on the news or seeing something online about how […]

  Go berry picking (#11)

  Posted on May 28, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, food.

  Everytime we go pick up our CSA box, we get a newsletter along with it. It tells us what is in our box for that week, what the vegetables are, how to store them, and some recipes for how to use them (which has been handy). The second time we picked up our load of […]

  Transition from plastic to other materials in the kitchen (#34)

  Posted on May 22, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, food.

  We have been making a big effort to transition our entire kitchen from plastic to mostly stainless steel and glass. It took awhile to complete it because every time I thought we were done, we noticed something else was plastic. First we replaced all our mixing bowls and storage containers with Pyrex bowls and food […]

  The purée button is my favorite

  Posted on May 20, 2010 by Dan in food.

  In the last year, I’ve learned how much I melt over a well crafted soup. There’s soup and then there’s soup! I can strangely relate to the passion the Soup Nazi put into his creations on Seinfeld. I can distinctly recall some of the most flavorful and perfectly concocted soups I’ve had recently (and for […]

  I blame the French

  Posted on May 19, 2010 by Dan in food.

  I blame Julia Childs. Actually, no I blame the French. Why does everything in cooking sound more difficult than it really is? Is it to be fanciful or is it to make you feel as if you could never actually accomplish this feat on your own. …cooked in a wine reduction sauce and served with […]

  We are what we eat

  Posted on May 18, 2010 by Dan in food.

  I’ve taken far too long of an absence from being a contributing writer to our blog as opposed to merely proofing and editing the KK show here. We’re changing all that right now. It’s a big day. I have a lengthly list of life updates and topics that somehow never learned how to magically write […]

• Sending you elsewhere

  Posted on May 14, 2010 by Dan in random.

  I’ve hit a bit of writer’s block. I don’t feel like I have anything interesting to talk about, even though we are doing a lot lately. So, I thought I’d just go ahead and entertain you by sending you elsewhere. Have fun! 13 year old rocking it OUT Not so mindless entertainment Because it’s important to mind your […]
