I’m trying to decide what to make for the week and I’m in my usual bouncing around cookbooks I’m comfortable with. One of these is the CIA’s Gourmet Meals in Minutes. It occurred to me that I ought to share a little about this book with you because of how much I enjoy using it […]

Fish Fridays: Thai Curried Cod
By Tom // 28 February 2009 in: Recipes
I’m not Catholic, nor did I grow up Catholic, but ever since I started working for the Catholic Church I’ve noticed oddchanges in my behavior. Like saying “God Bless you” to people in contexts not involving sneezing. Also as a result of work, I am well aware that yesterday was the first friday of Lent; […]

Inauguration Day was Tuesday and with it the world, particularly the blog world, was predictably awash in Obamania. Witness: a very impressive Obama pizza. And what Inauguration party would be complete without the Baracktail? My humble (and not very timely) addition? Obamaburgers! “Obamaburger” is actually a poor choice of name since these burgers don’t have […]

Emmer Salad
By Tom // 22 January 2009 in: Recipes
Emmer is an ancient strain of wheat with only 28 chromosomes. It was one of the first wheats cultivated by man. Nowadays, you can find it online from Bluebird Grain Farms.
