Sometime things just work out the way they should. It was snowing the whole day (it’s early afternoon, should stop soon) and I’m home. I made myself a veggie/beef/biltong kung pao which came out really good (maybe I’ll recreate and document sometime), and then made myself coffee for dessert – but as it was brewing, … Read more
For a few weeks now I’ve been suspecting that Omicron might also be transmitted by touch or even surfaces, much like the flu or the common cold, not just through droplets in the air.

But I grew up seeing my mother loving chicken liver sautéed with onions, and my grandparents (on my father’s side, my mother’s parents were murdered during the … Read more

I just winged it completely because that’s how I usually cook, unless I plan to write a recipe, which I didn’t. This chicken dish is a mish-mash hybrid of Chicken Scarpariello, Plao Ubjij … Read more
