Building Blocks

I go to the grocery store a lot. I travel the aisles of ingredients. I leave empty handed because the ingredients don't look that great and I am not really inspired by anything. Have all the great ingredients disappeared? Do... Continue reading

Take the Idea and Put it to Use

Sharing a Solo Meal

We have meals that we like to eat alone. Dishes that are so visceral and specific that they don't lend themselves well to company. Things that we crave with an unreasonable passion, because they feed something deep inside of us... Continue reading
