Nibble Nosh Nom
She's kind of a city girl. He's kind of a country boy. They're sometimes organic, occasionally vegetarian, sort of healthy, randomly homemade, fairly green, unreliably crafty and rarely gourmet.Categories

Off Topic Tuesday–You might be a dudebro, if…
Dudebros come in many forms*, hang out with many different people and often live peacefully among us. Sure, there are dudebros out there taking it one chest-bump or childish stunt too far. But not all dudebros are bad dudes. The majority of dudebros are kind, fun-loving and only mildly ridiculous. Still, it’s important to educate yourself so that you can determine if a man is too much dudebro for you to handle. Continue reading
Talking Tools: Wood in the Kitchen
There’s nothing that says homemade to me more than wood in the kitchen. Much like a soda tastes better in a glass bottle, I’d swear that food chopped on or stirred by wood tastes richer. Continue reading
Farmer’s Market Salsa
I make an awesome–if I do say so myself–fresh salsa. I’m going to attempt to share the recipe but it’s a challenge because I don’t measure anything. Nor do I think you should. Fresh salsa–especially if using homegrown veggies–means that you have so much variation in size, shape and flavor that having a recipe is like wearing shackles. A good salsa should be made to taste.

Just for fun
The Pickle shows me where the food goes. He’s so helpful in the kitchen.

Organization of Yum
So, that means I need to start a beer journal and then start learning more about how different beer flavors come to be. I don’t think they’re brought into the world with the beer stork. Just sayin’. Continue reading
Social Nomming–RePUBlic Gastropub
So, I knew the place would be trendy, but whoa. The interior design is exquisite and interesting, if a little cold. Would I go there to have drinks with my buds? Well, no. It’s too loud and didn’t really have much of a pub atmosphere. Would I go there to watch the game? Well, there’d be no problem finding a TV to see the game…but would it feel like I was watching it with my pals if we’re all looking in different directions? Continue reading

Off Topic Tuesday–Tonkawa, Ok
Every time I enter a new small town in this state, I’m floored by the personality, the art, the culture and the history that seems so disconnected and unique from every other town. In Oklahoma, small towns are home to wintering circus folk, WWII POW camps, beached submarines and much more. Continue reading
Perfect Pickles…we hope
Round about mid-July I was pondering the process of pickling. I had planned to hit the farmers market but when my sister-in-law heard what I was doing, she offered me a bounty from her garden. Amazing mother-of-three and cucumber gardener extraordinaire, she shared a ton of perfect specimens for pickling! Continue reading
Talking Tools: One Good Knife
Today, I want to talk about knives. If you’ve never thought of yourself as a cook or ever uttered the words, “I can’t really cook” I want you to stop right now and go look in your utensil drawer. In that drawer, is there a quality blade of forged steel? Do you have at least one quality chef’s knife that you purchased for more than, let’s say $40-50? Continue reading
J-bug’s Gourmet Dinner
Friday night means it’s time for Good Girl Dinner! This is when J-bug gets to nom on her normal byproduct free dry food garnished with some yummy filler-filled wet food. It’s the equivalent of us dumping a can of Cheese Whiz on a locally grown organic salad. And she LOVES it! Continue reading
