The world is a cruel and dark place. The most beloved show of all time (that’s a claim I’m making without basis but I feel to be true) is beginning its last season. Game of Thrones. Was that not clear? Even worse, it’s being split up over the next two years. If that’s not George…
I type this as I look out the window on snow covered trees and big beautiful flakes falling to the ground. Faintly, outside, I hear my neighbor spinning his tires trying to get out of the driveway.

You know how sometimes we just need a quick, easy, impressive recipe? Cause someone’s coming over and we don’t have a lot of time… or cause we want to be fabulous and we don’t have a lot of time… ooorrrr in my case, we don’t want to miss posting on the blog this week, but…
I had all of these high hopes and ambitions for cooking this weekend. I should have known better. It’s Beer Week here in Philadelphia. As a craft beer nerd, I had a lot on my plate. Or in my cup, rather. Though, that does mean I need some substantial food in my belly to survive…
