SubscribeSo, last year K’s father and stepmother hosted a Christmas family dinner, which became an instant tradition. It was so good that we gave it an official name, the 1st Annual Clan Gordon English Dinner. It went down as one of my favorite 10 meals of the year, and it was really a huge hit. [...]

Christmas Eve Came Early
Some people have one primary activity during the Christmas holidays, and some people, like me, have about 4-5 major events. I’ve got multiple family units that all live in Memphis, so I basically bounce between Midtown and East Memphis (primarily the Old Dutchtown region around Goodlett and Walnut Grove). The best part is that I [...]
Leave a Gift for Santa
When I’m not working on my own blog (or doing all the other stuff that I do), I like to use the old interwebs to see what other people are writing about. And the other day, I came across an awesome image and recipe from Perre Magnes’s blog The Runaway Spoon. Perre explains that milk [...]
My German Staycation
Unfortunately a trip to Germany was not in the cards for this weekend. So, without the opportunity to see Die Mannschaft, the German National Soccer team, or the chance to visit the Rhine River, I chose the next best thing, a German staycation. None of this. None of this. Bringing Germany to Me One of [...]
Strawberry Tarts and Gigawatts
So, I share a house with a mad scientist. No, not the kind that steals plutonium from the Libyians, pimps out a Deloreon, and sends Michael J. Fox back to 1955. Thankfully, the mad scientist I’ve got is younger, better looking, and more interested in creating a brand new cake recipe than building a time [...]
Belly Up
Somehow I walked away from the Memphis Farmers Market, and Newman Farm in particular, with an 8lb slab of pork belly. So, now I’m pumped to learn what to do with it. First things first, I took a hunk of it over to a family party, and we tossed it on the smoker. Turns out [...]
Heeeellllooooooooo Newman…
If you spend even a little time in the local restaurants that place a premium on sourcing local ingredients, you have probably come across the words Newman Farm. The Newman Farm Heritage Berkshire Pork is a major hit across town, popping up on a lot of menus. I remember Felicia Willett (Felicia Suzanne’s) explaining that [...]
I Scream.
From the future I recently was faxed a copy of the Commercial Appeal dated July 10, 2012. The headline read, “Eat Local Memphis Writer Gains Readers and Weight in Last Year.” The whole thing reminded me of an office episode… In Unrelated News K got me the ice cream maker attachment for our Kitchen-Aid mixer [...]
Float On America and a British (TV) Invasion
The other day I was eating lunch and chilling out at home, while dealing with my recent addiction to English television. I am currently obsessed with two of England’s national treasures:
This Choc is Hot
867-5309 I was reading a blog the other day about my favorite “local to somewhere else” ice cream shop, Jenni’s in Columbus, OH. It was about them using partner ingredients to make awesome things. In this article they made a sweet hot chocolate using local milk and cream. So, I decided that since we had [...]
