How to Cook a Duck

The Rose Bowl is days away. The Ohio State Buckeyes are playing the Oregon Ducks.  Alex and I are both alumni and football fans.  We are bringing a duck confit dish to a Rose Bowl party to poke fun at the opposing team’s mascot.

One of the most common complaints about duck (or goose for that [...]

The Flavor of Christmas

Tastes and smells are a necessary component to memory.  Foods bring us back to a place and time, defining everyday and holiday experiences.

In northwestern Ohio this weekend, Lil and I [...]

2009 Ohio Fish & Shrimp Festival

When I first heard about the Ohio Fish and Shrimp Festival a few years ago (it has been running for 8 years), I thought it was too weird to be true.  This year our schedule aligned with my father’s band, Bunty Station, being booked at the show and we had to go see for ourselves.

This weekend we went to our annual Labor Day Camp with family and friends.  Every year we have a theme night with costumes and related food.  This year our friend Leonard went all out on the theme, Hawaii.

I could write about the tiki hut trike, our chant to counter the hellfire and brimstone preaching group [...]
