Irish Food Appreciation & Introduction In addition to our Journey Around the World via Food, I have also taken a bigger interest in genealogy. I always assumed my mother's family was mostly of an Irish background but have come to find out that isn't exactly so. We are also of Scottish…
Baklava - A Work of Love I LOVE Baklava. When we attend the local Greek Festival every year, I make sure to buy some. It's crunchy, sweet, the sauce is delightfully sticky. Figured I should make some myself while we are celebrating Greece. Though only four ingredients for the main part,…
Burgers with a Greek Twist - Our First Attempt Inspired by the Greko Burger at Pangaea Restaurant and Wine Bar, we were ready for our second at home experiment. We decided we would try to re-create some Greek inspired burgers at home. The Burgers I used this recipe from the site Healthy…

Drunken Noodles - Our First Thai Dish at Home To finish our month-long Thai adventure, it was time to prepare a dish at home. Lora and I chose a dish we both had considered trying in our two restaurant excursions: Drunken Noodles. Browsing around on Pinterest, I found a recipe that…
Palm Thai - Our Second Thai Adventure This week we chose a restaurant in our own town, Palm Thai. My friend Veronica had recommended it. We passed by it every time we went to Costco, but never took much notice. Close proximity to the house and a recommendation from a friend…
