looking for recipes?
I decided to add a new category to my blog, and that is “Recipe”. So I went back and labeled all the recipes I’ve posted here over the past decades. That means I can now list them all in once place, right here: [catlist id=102 numberposts=100]
Todd’s Instant Pot pork green chile, attempt #1
Like a lot of people in Colorado, I like green chile. Denver is a 9 hour drive from Hatch, New Mexico, but we’re close enough to be in the orbit of Hatch chiles. So when I got an Instant Pot for Christmas, I decided to try to use it to make pork green chile. The… Continue reading Todd’s Instant Pot pork green chile, attempt #1
Todd’s cranberry ginger relish recipe
Todd’s Cranberry Ginger Relish Recipe This started as a recipe I found online and made for Thanksgiving sometime around 2000, and I’ve made it several times since then, slightly simplifying and improving it along the way. It’s fresh, vegan, gluten-free, and tasty. It requires no cooking, unlike Martha Stewart’s similar recipe. Ingredients Cranberries Buy one 12-ounce… Continue reading Todd’s cranberry ginger relish recipe
Todd’s makeshift mocha latte recipe
It’s been a while since I posted a recipe. Well, actually, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here. But it’s time for a recipe. I like coffee. And I occasionally like chocolate. But I prefer good coffee and dark chocolate. Also, I don’t have an espresso machine at home, so I can’t make… Continue reading Todd’s makeshift mocha latte recipe
FOONG Coffee & Bar
If you’re a friend or a regular reader of this blog, you’ve probably noticed I have a thing about coffee.

After… Continue reading FOONG Coffee & Bar

We… Continue reading our day at cooking school in Bangkok
nasi padang, and I didn’t know it
Beth and I were walking around Kemang this morning, looking for something to eat for an early lunch. Many places were closed, and at least one of the warungs I found a sign for didn’t even exist anymore (such is the way of Indonesian street food, apparently). But after visiting an ATM for some cash,… Continue reading nasi padang, and I didn’t know it
our first warung experience did not feature Daniel Craig (updated)
Written October 10, 2015 Updated October 11, 2015 Friday Supper Last night, we sought out the warung dining experience. A warung is a small family-run shop in Indonesia. Most commonly, they’re tiny restaurants, but the word can also refer to small coffee shops, internet cafes, or even phone booths. From what I can tell, there are… Continue reading our first warung experience did not feature Daniel Craig (updated)
Thanksgiving 2014 Menu
For Thanksgiving this year, Beth and I are volunteering at the Turkey Trot, which is a big race in Washington Park (Denver) to raise money for the Mile High United Way. I volunteered two or three times about 10 or 15 years ago, but not recently. After that, we’re gonna make a semi-traditional Thanksgiving dinner… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2014 Menu
