Shrimp Fra Diavolo

    Aug 6, 2008 | Food, Mains, Seafood

    We got a bit off schedule but finally did end up eating this very tasty dish last week. We left out the mushrooms because ours had started to grow again already and canned mushrooms just aren’t the same in things like this – but was very tasty regardless. I really...

    Our first attempt at homemade ginger ale

    Since we had a bit of ginger root laying around and a few plastic soda bottles, we decided to try out making soda for the first time. It’s a very simple process, some more simple than others, and to our slight surprise, it actually worked! I don’t know...
