My New Picnic Bench is Better Than Any Other Outdoor Furniture
06 June 2022
I bought a picnic bench to really enjoy the outside this summer. Over
the last weekend, I picked up an unfinished wooden one from Lowe’s, and
finished it myself. I got it for several reasons, and wanted to show
it’s empirically better than any other patio furniture. I also just
want to show off how good it looks in the yard.

My Great Granddad's Chicken Recipe
26 September 2021
My great granddad used to make chicken similar to this using a basting
mixture. This is his recipe with some modifications by me to get more
browning out of it. He poured it over with a whiskey bottle and a speed
pour, I use a mug and a brush to be more efficient with the liquid. He
did it with chicken quarters, but I prefer using a spatch-cocked chicken.
He also used a different vinegar than I do.

A Blender Muddled Julep Inspired Strawberry Cocktail
05 June 2021
So I had some inspiration with some fresh strawberries and some
homegrown mint, so I decided to try to make a blender muddled cocktail.
Blender muddling is a technique described in “Liquid Intelligence” by
Dave Arnold. It’s designed to maximize flavor extraction while
minimizing oxidation. I think this is really simple and flavorful
cocktail. This recipe I have described will serve 3 people.

Atlantic Pie
22 November 2020
I made some Atlantic pie recently with a few modifications. I think it
turned out pretty good. I basically followed the New York Times
recipe. I wanted to make something using saltine crackers. This turned
out to be way easier than expected.
