Zinc Saucier Edition 12 – Pizza
I have wanted to make something pizza based since the calzone fiasco of a little while ago. And man did this ever taste fantastic. Click after the jump for a sausage pizza recipe. This recipe looks really lazy when I read it out, but it produced cracking results. 1....
Zinc Saucier Edition 11 – Steak Casserole
Hey look ma and Kimberlee, vegetables. Ok so this one is relatively easy. I realized that a pepper sauce that involves a dairy product is nasty as all hell. So I replaced the dairy product with red wine. And it worked like a charm. It's a very simple recipe, so simple...
A note on posting
I've mislaid my camera, so I have a few things waiting to get posted. I'll post them when I get a chance. Thanks for hanging around.
A success! Now we’re rolling
So in my previous post I mentioned that I was selling stuff to fund my trip, and that I was knocked back. Today I received payment for the coat, which auctioned at a good price, and I popped it into the post and it was whisked off away to Germany. About a week ago I...
A Knock Back
I've never really made it public on this blog about my intentions regarding... life I guess. Often I sit around and wonder what I'm supposed to do with this blog, and the other day Kimberlee my beloved suggested that I blog about what my plans are. My plans are...
The first ever Mc Girr Family Tartan
So after some false starts, and a little back and forth, the tartan is now in the registry. The Mc Girr family has an official tartan now. The next step is to get together enough cash to get the material loomed, and then made into a kilt. There is a donations page if...
Zinc Saucier Edition 10 – Breakfast Burrito
I hear you all out there saying: "Dave, all you make is dinner. Make something else" And this morning that is exactly what I did, so welcome, to the breakfast burrito! We start with the greatest ingredient nature has yet given us. Bacon! Yay Bacon! I grilled my bacon,...
Zinc Saucier Edition 9 – Calzone
Today we make a a pizza pocket. Simple as that. Well not quite that simple. So this recipe was a bit of a mixed success. I didn't like the taste of the cheese combination I used, Sinead wasn't a fan of the sauce. So I'll have to perfect it at a later date. Here's the...
Zinc Saucier Edition 8 – Fried Chicken and Biscuits
We have a bona-fide success from the kitchen: Fried chicken and biscuits. Or scones, if you're not American. Doesn't that look delicious? The recipe for biscuits is easy enough, in fact I did a post about them. Which apparently I've pinged back to several times. Once...
Zinc Saucier Edition 7 – Steak Pie
Let me just say right off the bat, this turned out much better than the peppered steak. But it isn't peppered steak so let's move along with this. For the first time ever I used a crockpot, and for the first time ever I made pastry. Each turned out fine, however there...
Zinc Saucier Edition 6 – Peppered Steak
For the first time in my trek through the world of better food have I come up short, and only partially enjoyed the food. The main problem I had with this dish was the smell. I know exactly what it was, and I will be sure to leave it out next time. Creamy peppercorn...
Shaving My Head For Charity
So it's been a while since I posted a picture of myself here. But that's not what we're discussing today. Today we discuss giving money to Cancer Research. I can't say that I'm big into charitable causes, but this seemed like an opportunity to give money to a cause...
