Adventures in The States #4
This weekend was a blast. We (Kimberlee, the boy and myself) all went to to the 18th Annual Scottish Festival & Games and it was a blast. However there will first be some pictures that I've taken over the course of the week, because after all this is a weekly update....
The Thing of Today #6
I ordered a new pair of boots an a sporran the other day and they both arrived today. So I decided to model the sporran and boots as today's thing of today. Close up of the new boots after the jump. Regardless of how much an American Icon Harley Davidson is, these...
Zinc Saucier Edition 15 – Mince Pie
This isn't a major Zinc Saucier post, it's just a picture of a really tasty pie. I just cooked up some fatty ground beef (More fat = better gravy) then added flour. There's 2 carrots and half an onion in there too. I used frozen puff pastry so it was a bit of a cheat....
Adventures in The States #3
This is a major picture dump, so prepare your computers to load quite a few pictures. Just a note, this photo series is a collection of pictures that I've taken throughout the last week. I didn't do all of this stuff in one day. Oh bacon. So much beautiful...
The Thing of Today #5
I got some spectacular fast food today. Thought I'd show it to you. That's a massive cup of Dr. Pepper, some of the most delicious fries I've ever had and my burger. The burger is actually a double burger with bacon, cheese, onion rings and barbecue sauce. If you go...
The Thing of Today #4
So I've heard a lot today's thing, so I couldn't go without trying it. As far as I know, this beer has been most recently co-opted by hipsters as a sign of anti-cool. Because anti-cool is cool... or something. PBR is a big signal to the 30+ community that you're a...
Adventures in The States #2
It's been a week since the last post, so why not do another one? Here's a couple of photos from week one. More after the jump. A beach cruiser that I've been riding. Got hand brakes installed because trying to backpedal next to 6 lanes of traffic is terrifying. This...
The Thing of Today #3
Today's thing is a simple one, but it's a rather American experience. Polish sausage (not hot dog) and a Dr. Pepper from a hot dog stand at the outdoor swap meet. The nicest experiences are often the simplest. We got a wooden monopoly set at the swap meet. And some...
Zinc Saucier Edition 14 – Breaded Cod
This has got to be one of the simplest recipes I've done thus far on the Zinc Saucier, so much so that I don't even have to send you to after the jump for the steps. Just a pic and some steps. Bing Bang Bosh. 1. Make or procure breadcrumbs. 2. Finely chop some onion,...
The Thing of Today #2
What I've fancied since I left the states last time was a can of miller high life. So I got one and here it is, as the thing of today. Click through for a picture of the sexy dame on the side of the can.
The Thing of Today
I was going to call this series Thing of The Day but I don't know that I'll be posting every day. But anyway, here's today's thing. It's a one gallon glass jug with all natural apple juice in it. I love the jug, and I am to hang on to it. It looks like it'd be great...
Adventures in The States #1
Hello and welcome to my latest series of photo essays Adventures in The States. You may remember my last visit to the USA which I chronicled in the series Little Moments in America This trip is a much longer one, so these updates will be a little further apart than...
