Cooking at home

Rat on a Stick! A Creepy Halloween Party Food!

It’s fun to tie together a couple of hobbies. This post adds a bit of role playing games to cooking. Today, we are making Rat on a Stick.

It’s all about time

In a recent post, we talked about having to get a new stove. One thing that I hadn’t much considered was the timer features. It’s an important but often overlooked feature of a modern stove.

Car camping? A mini kitchen to go

We have talked a fair amount about cooking when backpacking. We aren’t always carrying things on our backs, so when we aren’t limited in that way, we like to have a bit more to cook with. Here’s a look at some of things we take when we are car camping or cabin camping.

To do or not to do – resolutions

It’s the start of a new year and many people use a time like this to make resolutions to change something in their lives. And I do use the time to consider things, but I don’t really make resolutions in the traditional way anymore.

Decoding a sugar cookie recipe

Last year, I posted about making cookies around Christmas time. This year one of the cousins shared a recipe that is supposed to be Grandma Link’s recipe. Of course, we made sugar cookies this weekend.
