It is the phrase stated on nearly every if not every food item that is meant to be shoved into an oven. They say this to prevent people from expecting their pasta or pizza to be done at a specific time when it isn't finished cooking. The main reason that a pizza or lasagna wouldn't … Continue reading Temperatures May Vary

Cost of Meat and Vegetarian Choices
It seems to me that there is a correlation between the cost of meat and the amount of meat consumed. At least there is one for me. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to make a sort of teriyaki veggie rice mix for a couple of reasons. One was that I didn't feel like … Continue reading Cost of Meat and Vegetarian Choices
Buying vs. Making Your Own
When someone is trying to save money, an often suggested opinion is to cook from scratch. I understand the idea. You can pay quite a bit more for prepared food than what you would pay to make it yourself. I feel like this is an incomplete idea. What else you are paying for, besides the … Continue reading Buying vs. Making Your Own
Interviews: A First Impression
Most people are aware that when they go into an interview for a new job, they are giving the company their first impression of who they are and possibly the last impression they have of the interviewee. However, sometimes I wonder if the company ever thinks about the fact that an interview is also the … Continue reading Interviews: A First Impression
Moving and Meal Planning
I have to say that moving to a new home can influence cooking and meal planning. Moving affects what a person is able to cook before leaving their old place and what they can cook at the new location. It can be difficult for the experienced mover. Even when you are comfortable with moving regularly, … Continue reading Moving and Meal Planning

Now the fact that fish is not meat in the Catholic sense is an interesting concept in of itself. The reason I said Catholic … Continue reading Lenten Food Memories
The Inspiration of Food by Movies
Scrolling through my Pinterest, I have found a large amount of movie inspired food recipes recently. These recipes come from Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, Harry Potter, and more. I have also seen a multitude of love for Studio Ghibli and its cinematic food. This flood of food inspired me with a thought which may sound … Continue reading The Inspiration of Food by Movies
HOA’s and Alternative Gardening
After attending a Master Gardener Gardening Seminar recently, I have been thinking of HOAs (Homeowners Associations) and their role in protecting the land, water, and air via gardening. In many HOAs (not necessarily all), there are strict rules and regulations regarding a home and its outward appearance to the neighborhood. These are almost always in … Continue reading HOA’s and Alternative Gardening
Old Blueprints and Odd Features
One of the categories that I tend to look at on my Pinterest is old homes, especially their layouts. Quite a few of them come from archive.org and its copies of old home catalogs. I love looking at old homes and trying to figure out the purposes of different features based on the social context … Continue reading Old Blueprints and Odd Features
Comfort Foods and Home
Everyone has a comfort food, whether they know/admit it or not. At least by my definition: it is a food that you eat to cheer you up or a food that reminds you of home (regardless of whether you have a home). Comfort foods can be very different for people no matter what country or … Continue reading Comfort Foods and Home
