When the wife and I were at the Lu San Chinese Garden in Portland, we sat down for some tea and snacks. I ordered a marbled tea egg, which is an egg that’s been hard-boiled and steeped in a mixture of tea and soy sauce and other aromatics. I thoughtRead more
Spaghetti pie is a dish that a lot of people use to recycle leftovers. It’s sort of like the bastard offspring of pizza and lasagna. My mother makes a good version of the dish, but I’ve had to make a few tweaks to her formula to accommodate the fact thatRead more
I’ve been craving veal lately, so I decided to make some wiener schnitzel. It’s basically just breaded, pan-fried veal scallopini.

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.
