For Memorial Day this year I went to not 1–but 2 Memorial Day barbecues. This is what I chose to make for the second party, to accompany hamburgers on the grill.

Twin Peaks Tuesdays: The Norwegians are Leaving!
In the Twin Peaks pilot, Ben Horne is courting a group of Norwegian businessmen over breakfast. The Norwegians seemed to be buying what Ben was selling; but eventually some shit goes down (you have to go watch the pilot to find out.

Tricks and Treats!
Over the past few days I’ve really got into the Halloween spirit. This past week my office had an autumn pot-luck lunch. What to make? What to make? With my collection of vintage cookbooks, I had to go retro, of course! And what says mid-century better than Jell-O? Uh, nothing! Considering I had lemon Jell-OContinue reading Tricks and Treats!
