Are clowns the new zombie? I kind of hope so. I'm more sick of zombies now than I was of vampires a few years back. Thanks to some recent films and TV shows clowns are every where. And, hey, remember a few years ago when creepy clowns kept popping up all over the place? Clowns are scary. After the new "It" movie came out a little while back there was an influx of articles telling us just why we don't like clowns—their human faces with accentuated and contoured features make our brains ... continue reading...
The Detective
It was a sleepy bedroom community just outside the city limits. Everyone knew everyone else. It was the sort of place where you never had to lock your doors, or worry about your children playing outside. It was a town where nothing bad ever happened. That is, until a series of gruesome incidences shook the town to its very core. Can the town recover from such violent offenses? Why are so many people in the town remaining silent? Can law enforcement catch a killer before it's too late? This... is ... continue reading...
Haunted Pumpkin Handpies
Queue the spooky soundtrack—it's that time of year again! I love pumpkin pie—proof here. I know, I know, it's more of a Thanksgiving thing than it is Halloween but I think it's safe to say that, especially in recent years, it obviously fits just about any day of the season (I'm looking at you, Pumpkin Spice People). And while I can't fully get behind putting pumpkin spice on everything—I mean, please tell me pumpkin spice gum or Kool Aid don't actually exist—I am totally all for a good ... continue reading...
Chocolate Banana Bread
In keeping with the theme and overall speed of this recipe, I'm keeping this post on the shorter side. I love banana bread. I love seeing those dark flecks from the banana running throughout it. I love the aroma that fills the house when you bake it. I love the soft, tender, dare I say, moist yield of the cake—oops, sorry... bread—and I love when someone for whatever reason gives or serves me banana bread that they've made. It's been a long time since I've made banana ... continue reading...
Za’atar Chicken Flatbreads with Tomato-Mint Salad & Halloumi
This recipe was an accident—a culinary baby surprise, if you will. A few years back I made a huge batch of za'atar chicken, from a whole jointed chicken, and a massive bowl of tomato-mint salad with my garden-crop of cherry tomatoes. I knew it was going to be a busy week at work and I had a lot of packing to do as I was preparing to move 700 miles away in a few short weeks so rather than spending time puttering about in the kitchen after work as I would normally prefer I knew some ... continue reading...
Fridge Pickle!
I love pickling. Notice I said pickling and not canning. It’s not that I have anything against canning—I’ve done it quite happily—but sometimes it’s too finicky for me. Too much can go wrong, too many standards and requirements, too much technicality. One wrong move, one little adjustment to the recipe, a few degrees off in the water and the whole thing goes bad. So it’s this impatience and my gravitation to not following the rules of anything that make me lean a bit more towards ... continue reading...
