Live. Camp. Cook.
It's what I do.
A little about me.
Welcome! I never really thought that I'd be launching a website, much less talking about myself in such a public space. But hey, life brings changes, right? This is something I've wanted to do to that is devoted to the things I find important, fascinating, tasty, maybe confusing from time to time, but hopefully always interesting! Happy reading; your positive vibes and feedback are always appreciated!
MORE ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I grew up in the mountains of north central Washington. After a few twists and turns in life, I spent a decade in the plains of Kansas, where I met my wife, got married, and started a family. Now we reside in the high desert of central Arizona, enjoying the abundant beauty here as well as the diverse climate, people, food and loving every bit of this amazing state!

This is the view that greeted me this morning in Recklinghausen, Germany. Well, not exactly. The first thing I saw was the overhead lights getting flipped on and waking me out of a dead sleep filled with dreams of trains, past customers, Circle K, timing chain repairs...

Well, here again, finally, is another attempt to hammer out a few exciting details of our summer. It seems like it came early this year, and stayed long, but is gone with a flash. Such is life, I suppose.
Currently, as in right this minute, I am writing this from Reckl...

Well, as the title says, it's a first. Not only for my second child, but for my wife and me as well. As I write this post, my second son is in surgery for the first time. He was a little nervous, to be sure, but blinked back his tears and put on his game face. As a vet...

So, been super busy with the spring real estate market picking up. Showing homes, listing homes, closing deals, photo ops, birthday parties, first teenager in the house (ugh, Dad, don't be so dumb). Cooking has been more of a means to an end than an end of itself, and...

I got to thinking the other day, as much as people doubt that I'm possible of such deplorable actions, and I realized it's been a bit since I last went on a search & destroy mission via my keyboard. So, here I am again!
Let's see, what interesting things can I tell you...

Well, 2018 has come and gone, and ready or not, here is 2019! We had our first significant snow here in the Prescott area yesterday, and the morning broke clear and cold today, January 1. I woke at 6am, rolling out after a short night. We had a few friends over to ring...

Well, I think we've all made our way back into the kitchens and the subsequent eating that follow such things despite our vehement cries of "I'll never eat again!" following almost every Thanksgiving day meal. Actually, we didn't eat to that extent at our house, which...

New business, new post! Read all about it here, first!

Don't you just love the difference a comma can make?? This corn salsa is quick, which is a good thing, especially when banging out a quick weeknight dinner of street tacos or something similar. It has many of my favorite flavor profiles, with jalapenos for heat, shallo...
