Bethany just turned to me, as I was happily facing-book, going-daddy, and brainstorming about the evolution of ENFPConsulting, and said, “I’d like you to go onto my blog and write about How to Title Recipes.” And thus we are. Long before I read Seth Godin’s How to Title Stuff or Alex Witze’s SAA: How to [...]

Image via Wikipedia I fed my kids and myself waffles for dinner tonight. Not homemade waffles, which are superior to anything else in every way except prep time/effort. We ate Eggo waffles for dinner, with syrup on top. Not pure maple syrup, but a simple sugar syrup flavored with immitation maple flavoring that I made [...]
Smells, smells, everywhere and not a thing to eat
Posted in Food on Jun 3rd, 2008
Okay, so there’s plenty to eat around here, just hardly anything my body is willing to let me eat this morning. Everything smells, and nothing smells good. Even the good things don’t smell good. When I’m pregnant my olfactory sense increases by a few factors and it’s pretty crazy. Those diapers I normally don’t notice [...]

Food storage
Posted in Food on Apr 15th, 2008
There have been multiple times since I’ve been married when we’ve had to primarily live off of our stored food supply. As a wedding present, someone (I’m sorry to say I don’t remember who) gave us the awesome gift of one month’s basic food storage. Included were things like cans of wheat, rice, macaroni noodles, [...]
The Cook’s Thesaurus

Does anyone but me struggle with knowing what the names on cuts of meat mean? I bought a roast on sale the other day labeled “USDA Choice Chuck Beef English Roast.” What in the world….? I learned a while back that “Choice” is a United States Department of Agriculture grade of meat determined by how [...]

Cottage Cheese and Paper Plates
Posted in Food on Apr 1st, 2008
I’ve decided again that I like cottage cheese. It’s a little boring by itself, though, so I googled things to eat with cottage cheese and found some good ideas, like cinnamon or pears (or both!). Did I try any of those ideas, though? No, of course not. I chose to try one of my own [...]
This is Colin, and I’m getting to the point where I’m blogging >1nce a day, but on different blogs. But this one goes here: I’ve always liked Stouffer’s Spinach Souffle. Just a little comfort food thing from the ‘hood (and by ‘hood I mean the richest county in the US.) Anyway, for 32 years I’ve [...]
St. Patrick’s Day Tomorrow
Posted in Cooking on Mar 16th, 2008
Colin and his mother were just discussing St. Patrick’s Day on the phone and she mentioned that they have corned beef and cabbage to celebrate. So, I asked for her recipe and she said “it’s the easiest thing in the world” and I paraphrase the rest with the following: Put water and the spices from [...]
