As I have said before, I like my beer dark like motor oil. Not a lot of breweries are good at the darker beers and that is ok, they are not for everyone. Here are a few of my favorites that I have found in the Finger Lakes region. No,…

Dennis Likes His Hot Peppers
Today was one of those hot days. Not outside, but both lunch and dinner included extra heat in my favorite ways. It started with a lunchtime snack. Karen decided to make something she called Jack Crisps. Very simple, and really delicious. It was basically Monterey Jack Cheese and a Jalapeño.…

The Breville Ice Cream Maker – Very little planning required.
When I was little I remember making home made ice cream around Christmas time. We had an electric ice cream maker and fed the bucket with rock salt and icicles we knocked off the roof. I don’t remember us making anything other than vanilla ice cream but always looked forward…

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)?…

A Boxxle Do (A Favorite Product)
We plan to share some of our favorite products from time to time but not to bash something because it doesn’t work for us. These will be products that we own and enjoy using. Everyone is different and what we like might not work for you, so purchase at your…

Chocolate Milk for Adults
A few years ago I got “into” craft beer. I looked forward to finding places that offered flights of beer so that I could sample multiple styles. I slowly learned that my favorites were in the Stout family. Further “research” proved Porter to be my go to beer. I finally…

“Sole-less” Sunday
What beautiful weather we have been having in southeastern Pennsylvania! We decided Sunday to go for a walk around Muddy Run Recreation Park. This park contains a campground that I used to stay at with family and friends. They have a beautiful 3 mile hike around the Muddy Run Power…
