I use old jars to organize the hardware in my workshop. It took me years to amass the jars necessary to build the first stage of my organizer, and I’ve finally collected enough to start stage two. Here’s what it looks like now. The sixteen new jars will be dividedRead more
Last year, I blogged about my homemade griddle burgers. I typically go for cold-in-the-center-rare burgers, but there’s something just as enjoyable about a crispy, well charred, griddle burger. As you probably know, I can get a little methodical when it comes to quantifying perfection. As part of my mania, I’veRead more
There’s a rabbit farm in the area that stocks a freezer at my neighborhood farmers’ market. It’s called Ardeng Rabbit Meat, and they’re out of Fountain Inn, SC. They sell cleaned, sectioned rabbits, and cleaned, whole rabbits. You can get a 5-pounder for under $23. That compares pretty well toRead more
As you may or may not know, the wife is big into sewing and crafts. She actually offers sewing lessons for beginners in the Greenville area. Our house is way too tiny for her to have a dedicated craft room or anything like that, so she basically took over theRead more
I mentioned in a recent post how I’ve been making a determined effort to rid my life of tangible objects that have no utility. That might sound a little extreme, but if something isn’t useful to me in some way, I’ve decided that I just don’t have room for it.Read more
I don’t really like the gelatinous blob of white stuff that passes for ranch dressing at most restaurants and bars. It’s over-seasoned to the point of tasting unhealthy–and I’m no health nut. I should admit that I’m not a huge fan of ranch to begin with. But the wife is,Read more
I roll my eyes whenever a news article states that inflation has remained mostly stable. The consumer price index that’s usually referenced doesn’t account for the cost of food and fuel. What kind of an indicator is that? Fuel and food costs, especially the price of beef, have more thenRead more
Not too long ago, the wife and I visited a Brazilian café that left an indelible impression on us. It was a welcome departure from the overpriced, all-you-can-eat meat feasts that have come to typify churrascarias across the USA. I’ve spent a lot of time and energy lately trying toRead more
The HTPC console I recently built replaced an armoir that had been in the corner of the den. Now that the TV is on another wall, the wife and I decided we should hang some pictures on the wall that divides the den from the dining room. The wife usurpedRead more
I’ve been craving veal lately, so I decided to make some wiener schnitzel. It’s basically just breaded, pan-fried veal scallopini. Both of the wife’s grandmothers spent time in Germany, so this dish isn’t exotic to her at all. Her Croatian grandmother always pairs schnitzel with spaetzle. It makes sense. WhatRead more
My job involves staying up to date with social media trends. As part of that effort, I keep a Hobby Blog. It’s mostly a public scrapbook for my friends and family. I also keep a travelogue of my outdoor adventures at C.C. Hikes.
