Since it warmed up a little, we decided to ditch the treadmills and get outside for a nice hike. A touch of cabin fever has us getting on each others nerves and we knew it was best if we got out of the house. We decided on Sadsbury Woods Preserve,…

Smash Burger Night
Saturdays are days that Karen and I usually cook together. She said earlier today…”Tonight is gonna be Smash Burger Night.” to which I replied “What the heck is a smash burger”? Apparently it is very thin seared burgers stacked up with cheese between the patties so it was a no…

Chocolate Hot Sauce? Yes!
I have a variety of hot sauces in the fridge. We are a fan of the show “Hot Ones” (not a sponsor) and one year for Christmas we decided to get all ten sauces from that season and see how bad it was (or were the celebrities just faking it)?…

Rum Drink Sample Night
New Years Eve was our “Gin” night (see New Years Eve – Goodbye 2020). Tonight we decided to explore some Rum drinks. So once again Karen took to Pinterest to find some ideas of what to try. Almost every interesting drink she found wanted pineapple juice. But, sadly, pineapple juice…

New Years Eve-Goodbye 2020!
Aren’t we all glad to see the end of 2020? We didn’t have any New Years Eve plans so decided to just listen to music and explore a few cocktail variations using whatever we had on hand. What shocked me was was that Karen suggested we try some gin drinks! Some…

I Got Your Side – Barley with Sautéd Mushroom & Onions
Tonight, Karen told me she was going to make Barley. I haven’t had that before and it turns out that she had never cooked it before. In fact, I don’t think I have ever seen it on a restaurant menu either (other than in a barley soup). She looked at…

Turkey Point Lighthouse at Elk Neck State Park
Today’s excursion took us south to Elk Neck State Park in Maryland. When we left the house our plan was to go even further south. Just going on a drive on such a nice day was what we needed with all this cabin fever going around. When we realized our…

Dark and Smokey “Freezer” Pizza
You have probably figured out from all of our food posts that Karen is the cook in the house. I can make a great breakfast, but she is the chef in this family. Every so often she doesn’t really feel like cooking and then its my turn. And when that…

Snaking through Silver Mine Park
After dropping off some Thanksgiving leftovers to Karen’s parents (last weekend) we intended to round out the day with a short hike in Lancaster County PA. As we arrived at the trail we found our agenda might need to change. We had originally planned to hike the Tucquan Glen Loop…

The Destruction One Little Bug Can Do
We like loop trails and found one called the “Buck Trail” that was located in a nearby park that we haven’t been to for several years. This 3.4 mile loop through Nottingham Park (Nottingham PA) checked all the boxes (loop trail, over 2 miles, close by) so we drove to…
