Here’s a blast from the past. A few years ago we retired our old website, but it’s still there, hiding on our server. Today I was poking around it just for sh!ts and giggles and re-discovered a recipe for…

Last night I discovered the best recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb pie on Simply Recipes. I found it very strange because it calls for instant tapioca. The outcome was amazing. By far the best tasting pie I have ever had.

Another easy and wonderful traditional Indian dish you can impress your friends with is home made chai. Not the crap you make from a box or pour from concentrate either. Real chai. Chai is black tea steeped in hot milk,…
