Teriyaki Sauce

November 11, 2018November 10, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Laura and I were in the grocery store a few days ago. We were behind two ladies who were discussing buying a pre-made Teriyaki Sauce. I kind of walked on by, but when we were out of ear-shot I told Laura why would you waste your money buying Teriyaki Sauce when it is so easy … Continue reading Teriyaki Sauce

Vietnamese Pork

November 10, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ 2 Comments

I had not made this recipe in a long time and I don't know why. It is one of my favorites and it is really easy to make. It has the holy trinity of heat, sweet and sour. I made it last night and since it was just Laura and myself, I used only half … Continue reading Vietnamese Pork

Mushroom Foraging

November 9, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Last weekend James was down visiting and he noticed in the local paper there was going to be a Mushroom Foraging expedition to be guided by a local mushroom expert, Wayne. We all agreed that it would be fun, so Saturday we showed up at the Medford DNR to meet up and carpool up to … Continue reading Mushroom Foraging

I made this last night. I seldom bake anything, but this seemed simple so I gave it a try. … Continue reading Apple Crostata

Memo’s Kitchen

November 6, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday we had just dropped off Laura's car for detailing. I was hankering for a real "Mexican Breakfast" having not had anything truly authentic since we left Santa Barbara back in June. We found Memo's Kitchen was highly rated especially for their breakfasts, they were close so we stopped by. They had at least 12 … Continue reading Memo’s Kitchen

Pot Roast

November 4, 2018November 4, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

Today is Sunday and two of our favorite football teams are playing each other: the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. Should be a good game. James is down for the weekend and will stay to watch the game before heading back to Portland. Seeing as how it is Sunday it seems appropriate … Continue reading Pot Roast

We have been invited to a Halloween block party. We are excited because this is a good chance to meet our new Oregon neighbors. We are going to bring our Black Bean Salsa and some tortilla chips. I just finished making it this morning to allow time for the flavors to meld. This is one … Continue reading Black Bean Salsa
