Boy, has it been a LONG week … For the second time in three weeks I have gone AWOL, and I am sorry for that. I was hoping that after my last bout of family related drama things would quiet down, but it was not to be. Last week my father was feeling a little [...]

Who says beer can’t be for breakfast? The folks at Foodbuzz joined with the New Belgium Brewing Company to offer a group of bloggers the opportunity* to create a recipe using their fine, fine beers. I have been a New Belgium fan for as long as I have enjoyed beer. I even own a few [...]

Valentine’s Day is coming. We do not really celebrate Valentine’s Day here at Casa Shenanigans.

The day after Thanksgiving I tend to bag up some of my left-over turkey and freeze it. I love knowing that I have, in my freezer, the means to make any number of easy weeknight meals. From pot pies to tetrazzini, frozen turkey meat is a good thing to have on hand. This year I [...]
