When starting to talk politics, it’s common to get long explanations and debates why one’s opinion is this or that. I’m always for simplifying things, it makes it easier to grasp. As I see it, from experience, when complicating an explanation, it’s usually to mask something, either facts or the lack of knowledge of the … Read more
Biltong is like beef jerky only you buy it with Krugerrands and it tastes better. Ask my fried Dori (not Nemo’s friend, that’s Dory). It’s a South African dried meat. It’s much softer (if done right) than beef jerky and more of a pure meat flavor. I sometimes use it as bacon, though it is … Read more
In high school, maybe sophomore year, I had a girlfriend called Esther for a couple of months. She lived in Shchoonat Hatikva which literally means Hope Neighborhood and hope was really needed there. Anyway… I used to ride my bicycle to her house, and one of the times when I arrived her mother was pealing … Read more
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

I had two pieces of skinless/boneless chicken thighs in the fridge. I also had a mango that was lonely in the fruit drawer. And, of course, I was hungry (what else is new). So I made this chicken, and the wraps I used with it. This came out so good, I named it Atyuttama Chicken. … Read more
Wrappers Delight. First of two recipes I came up with today. I wanted wrappers (or call them tortillas) that are not wheat or corn flour based, so I figured I can use buckwheat flour. So these are gluten free. They came out great! Here goes: These quantities will make about 6 wraps, depending on pan … Read more
What am I, chopped liver? Well, I like it. Chicken liver has a bad rap in the US, so it is not popular and cost next to nothing. 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
