Earlier this week I made it out to The Meat Shop of Tacoma.  Aside from the two (not one!) flat tires I got somewhere along the journey, the rest of the trip was a success!  I was already familiar with their products from perusing their website numerous times, but until now had not had the ...

If you are looking at this recipe post, it must be close to St. Patrick’s Day.  Which is funny, because Corned Beef and Cabbage is not originally an Irish dish.  In Ireland peasants used to serve cured bacon joints with their cabbage and potatoes as beef was too valuable and only used for milk production.  ...

The sun was out today, so I cranked up the grill tonight for dinner.  The lamb loin chops were rubbed down last night while I was preparing the roasted turkey breast for dinner, so preparation was quite quick, which is good because we arrived home late at 7:30 this evening.  But from start to finish ...
