You know you want to try this. You just need all the ingredients. And the time. It takes about two hours to make, but boy is it delicious. This is apparently a major comfort food delicacy in New Zealand, and the recipe I have will incorporate an American twist to the meal. First off ……

Read MoreStewarts’ “Sunshine Shake” new orange milkshake refresher flavor
I give Stewarts’ Shops credit. They try to mix things up with their beverages. Last year, I reviewed their limited edition peanut butter milkshake on my blog. The best thing I could say about it was that it was wet and cold. Yesterday, I discovered a new product in the local Stewarts’ cooler. Something called…
Read MoreBachelor Cooking: Beef Stew Shepherd’s Pie
Can I let you in on a culinary secret? Most off-the-shelf grocery products will have a recipe or two on the package label. Such was the case when I purchased a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew. And since the recipe was – I’m going to say edible – I’m sharing it with you. Ingredients:…

I’ve snacked on Yancey’s Fancy cheese curds before, mostly when I need to get a fuel-and-food break on the Northway. Well, they didn’t…
Read MoreDo I want to try Cincinnati Skyline Chili?
I’ve been known to add new recipes in my dining experience. When I go on a trip and eat at a local restaurant, I tell the server, “Please recommend your local dish. I didn’t come all the way from Albany to not at least try something from here.” Which is why, although I don’t know…
Read More“Your cutlery, sir, it will KEAL.”
A couple of years ago, someone introduced me to the competition series Forged in Fire, where bladesmiths and other metal workers fashion knives and weaponry, with the winning competitor receiving $10,000 for his/her efforts. I have to admit, the show is quite fun to watch, especially when the show’s judges take the contestants’ newly-finished weapons…
