Part gamer, part chef, all beard.
I’m hoping to do a comfort food kind of month in April and this meal was pretty comfy. As per usual, it was a lively chat and a good time as I attempted to make panini’s without a panini press. Not to mention the 2008 Clos Du Val was quite a find. It was a great pinot noir. Here you go. Continue reading “RECIPES FROM 4/1/2017”

After some pretty big technical issues, I finally got to streaming this week and (barring a couple of trolls) I think it went pretty well. The gyro soup and blooming onion came out really good! AND I got to drink Bordeaux wine (Pappa’s favorite). Continue reading “RECIPES FROM 2/11/2017”
Saturday was quite the adventure, eh? Had my first guest host in Nana Beren, we had some excellent laughs and made some awesome chili. Continue reading “RECIPES FROM 2/4/2017”
What a fun time we had last week and we made quite the beautiful dish if I do say so myself. I really want to thank everyone that gave me a follow on Twitch last week, especially in the cooking stream. It’s such a boost when you guys do that. Continue reading “RECIPES FROM 1/28/2017”
