Mod R: They want recipes for everything. Me: O_o. Beer Stew The key to beer stew is, well, beer. I found that Mexican lagers and Belgian ales tend to work well. I made my last batch with Corona Extra. Don’t put IPA into this. It’s way too bitter, and the stew will be inedible. Just

On Panini Press, Fine Qualities Of
Mod R has been mentioning the panini press lately and the need for some recipes. Warning: stock pictures of delicious food ahead. What is a panini press? Panini comes to us from Italy. It is thought to have originated in Lombardy, and was mentioned in some Italian writing as early as 16th century. In very

Orro is our King
Hi everyone, Mod R here. Based on how many people have asked for a House Andrews cookbook in the comments in the past few years, I know I’m not the only one who reads with her tummy as well as her eyes. Something you need to know about me is that I am a maniac

Random Book Updates and Too Much D&D.
No posts and now two posts in one day. Woo! Today is hopefully the last day of the roof construction. I misspoke in my previous post. We are actually on week 3, not week 2. My temper and nerves are frayed to the maximum capacity, so hopefully this will be coherent. Business Stuff Magic Clams

Cooking: Tips and Tricks
Do you have any cooking tips or tricks? I just have the usual home cook stuff. Let’s see. Um. Giving cooking advice is always slightly controversial. For example, I do not cook our pan-seared steaks in a bath of butter. One, we don’t need the extra calories and saturated fats and especially lactose; two, steak is

Gloomy Friday
It is gloomy here in Texas. It doesn’t quite rise to the levels of blustery, but it is definitely grey, overcast, and slightly chilly. Mod R is out today for a medical procedure, so you have to put up with me prattling on about random business and life nonsense. First, I have some great news.

Tea and Hammering
::taking a figurative hammer and hitting the holiday project:: Get! Into! Shape! I should do that to myself. I haven’t worked out in 2 weeks. I haven’t walked either. It is super crappy. It’s like Portland, Oregon weather over here, grey and dull and depressing. We mostly have two seasons: awful heat and gloom. We

Catching Up
Popeyes turkey, a quick recipe, and a funny story.
Tuesday Before Thanksgiving
It is Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and I’m feeling a bit under the weather. Outside is rainy and cold. We have a fire going. It’s Sookie. The old dog loves the fire, so she will go and lay in front of the fire place and whine sadly at us when the fire doesn’t magically happen. It’s

Food, Family, and Other Things
Where have you been? Taking a breath. We are doing all the things we have been putting off. The house is getting cleaner with every day. We order out less and cook more. We have even gotten out of the house. Did you know you can go to this place called a restaurant, where you

Food, Glorious Food
Hi all, Mod R again. Don’t worry, House Andrews are fine, just deep in the writing cave for Sweep of the Heart, so I get to entertain and make a post about my favourite topic: food! Since the 2020s are determined to go down in history as The Roaring Whatthefucks, to borrow a Bug-ism, and

Muffins, Trucks, and Deleted Scenes
I meant to post this earlier, but I’m sleep deprived and behind my schedule. Last night Gordon had trouble falling asleep. Normally when that happens, he turns on TV, usually something like Ancient Aliens. We listen to the magic aliens who used a vimana to fly to Antarctica and build secret pyramids, and it puts
