I can’t recall where I first learned about toast soldiers for dipping into soft boiled eggs but I remember thinking it was genius. My family did it a bit differently. Instead of boring plain toast, my mother would make a grilled cheese of sorts and …
Chickity China the Chinese chicken. We’re going to see a Barenaked Ladies concert at the end of the month. Yes, Barenaked Ladies. Tas knows almost every word to all the songs on the Gordon album. It’s also an outdoor concert and I haven’t been to one …
Fithandwich. Brioche bun, Lay’s® Salt & Vinegar chippes, hawaij-spiced grilled mahi-mahi, tahini slaw. That is all. Jokes. I’ll tell you about hawaij and this great tahini slaw. Yas. Tahini again. You know you love it. Hawaij, a Yemenite spice mixture usually used to spice …
