Recipe Review: Sirloin Tip Roast

 From time to time, people have said I'm a good cook.  But I think of it more as finding good recipes.  Recipes that don't have super complex ingredients and deliver good flavor.  I enjoy the search.   For the last few years, we typically will get a bulk order of beef from a friend that raises steers.  We are going to eat beef and it's our modest effort to buy local and lessen the impact.  When you buy in bulk, you end up with some cuts of beef that can be a bit tougher to turn into something yummy that the family will enjoy.  So I'm often searching for new recipes for those cuts and a thick and lean Sirloin Tip Roast can be in that category.  We are approaching that bulk purchase time of year again so I'm trying to empty out the freezer and decided I'd pull said roast from the freezer and look up a recipe.  It was a rainy weekend so it seemed like a good chance to fill up the house with that classic pot roast aroma.  This reci...

Found Some Really Good Hot Dogs

Today I tried this angus beef Oscar Mayer hot dogs.  And let me tell you they were delicious.  If you are looking for a hot dog that is pretty close to those awesome "Lambeau Dogs" at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, then you should try these.  Here is a link to the product page.

Fox Valley Blogger: Post Packer Draft 2022

 The most hyped "draft" event of all major sports wrapped up this weekend.  I am resurrecting the old blog today to share some thoughts on my local team.  There is a nice summary of the picks here if you are looking for more info.   Clearly, most Packer fans (including myself) were expecting the Packers to take a WR early in the draft after the departure of star WR Davante Adams who was traded to the Raiders earlier in the off-season. Day 1 of the draft probably left many Packer fans disappointed and scratching their heads.  The Packers went after defense early with two first round picks taking an ILB & DL from defensive powerhouse Georgia.  After the initial shock wore off, I started to come around to really like these picks.  For years, the Packers' front seven on defense has always had some holes to fix and it seems the Packers have finally buttoned up what looks to be a solid defense.  Also worth noting, there was a pretty early run ...

My Covid Test Was Negative

The last few days of July, I began to feel a tightness in my chest.  I had no other symptoms besides feeling pain in my chest cavity if I took a deeper than normal breath.  So I chalked it up to being old and possibly have tweaked a muscle or cartilage in or near my rib cage.   But it worsened.  It really felt like there was a harness strapped around my chest that was preventing me from taking deep breaths.  Amazingly, I think my body was able to shut down the need for yawns or sneezing for 2-3 days while I was experiencing this pain.  Then I started to look up some COVID-19 symptoms as this clearly was more serious than a muscle pull.  I noticed some folks would say it felt like someone was sitting on their chest.  As it relates to trying to take a deep breath, I would agree with this.  I was growing pretty concerned about my inability to breath normally.  This was something I had never experienced before.     By now...

Kensington Grille Satisfies

With young children, opportunties to have a nice dinner out with your spouse can be few and far between.  Therefore, I am typically reluctant to try a new restaurant at the risk of having a less than satisfactory meal during one of these precious evenings.  That's why I am pleased to share our positive experience while dining at the Kensington Grille in Appleton recently.  I had the grilled ahi tuna over wasabi risotta and it was absolutely delicious.  The waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable about the entrees.  We also sampled the clam chowder which was delicious as well.  Overall, my wife and I were very pleased and definitely look forward to going there again.  It provided an atmosphere of fine dining while having reasonable prices and what I considered bigger portions than your typical fine dining experience.  Here is their website and it happens to be convienently located near a wine bar as well.  http://www.thekens...
