    Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls baked in Brown Sugar and CinnamonJune 15, 2026
    Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls: I snagged the base for this recipe from a "Taste of Home Fall Baking - Fresh from the Oven" cookbook. My first real attempt at a baking recipe, part of a new goal for myself.

    Maple Pork Tenderloin with Maple Syrup and Dijon MustardJune 14, 2026
    Maple Pork: Andrea snagged this recipe from her Mom, and it might be a Looney-Spoons recipe originally. It's pork tenderloin with maple syrup. Sure, there's other stuff in it, but those are the two flavours that pop. Totally awesome.

    Green Curry Chicken with Eggplant and LemongrassJune 12, 2026
    Green Curry Chicken - This is one of my favourite dishes, compliments of a cooking course through the local public school board. I have rated it "medium-to-hard" for the level of difficulty but that is a bit misleading. The individual steps are not particularly difficult, nor is the sequencing, but there are a significant number of detailed steps (including sous-chef preparations) and it takes a long time to prep and cook; it is definitely not a "quick weeknight meal". I have also rated it "mild" for spice, and I do not have a particularly high threshold.

    I have over 40 general book clubs that I follow, with several having sublists / groups. My intent when I started was to see what was out there and get out of my reading comfort zone, at least insofar as I would see what was on offer. I combed through 2025, and the first six … Continue reading →

    Bestseller lists 2026-06: Round up the usual suspectsJune 11, 2026
    I feel like I’m having an old gangster movie flashback sequence where maybe Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney or Edward G. Robinson are talking to some wiseguys, see, and they’re gonna listen, see. I went all in this month, see, casing every joint, err, bestseller list in town. Get the lay of the land, see. That’s … Continue reading →
