This past weekend saw us enjoying a meal at home with a pair of grilled Buffalo steaks and vegetables, along with a wicked cool bottle of wine that I have had before, but not documented until now. We placed the steaks into a marinade of wine, herbs, and stone crushed mustard. The marinade helped to [...]

This past weekend we got the chance to cook some chicken soup and roast some chicken. But the best part was cooking some Chinese and Japanese Shitake mushrooms, along with some oyster mushrooms. Sautéing the mushrooms were super easy. I cleaned them and then I sliced them thinly, while removing the stems, and then sautéed [...]
