Eight years ago today my father shuffled off to the great unknown. Miss you every day, pops

Aloo Gobi

Yaki udon stir fry

New Year's Day means ham and beans with greens and homemade bread

Pasta al forno and garlic parsley flatbread. My Nana would make this for the Holidays, then she taught my mom how to make it. Necessary

One and a half's with

Turkey pot pie, haven't made this in years. It's sloppy and delicious

It is truly absurd how many tomatoes I've gotten from stuff I planted three years ago. I don't w**d or fertilize, just throw a cage around them wherever they show up and pick the sucker's off occasionally

Chicken Chasseur, or French Hunter's Chicken. A delicious stew of chicken, carrots, mushrooms, white wine and tomato. One of my favorite fall and winter dishes

Spalted Hackberry warped bowl. Single turned then into a bucket of silica dessicant to hyper speed the drying process.

Footed sassafras bowl. I'm getting better at making these feet so I don't have to put the bowls on a jam chuck or Cole jaws to finish the bottom

Jacques Imos never fails to deliver. Boudin, duck and andouille Gumbo, stuffed catfish with hollandaise, brussel sprouts and crawfish etouffée
