Feast and Merriment 2.0 - the blog.

I’ve always believed that food tells our stories—especially the ones we don’t have words for. And for a long time, I couldn’t tell mine. But now, as the light continues to shine brighter each day, I’m finding my way back to the table again. And I hope you’ll join me there for Feast & Merriment 2.0.

There was a time when I couldn’t cook, couldn’t eat, and couldn’t face my own kitchen. But slowly, comfort started to find me again—in small acts of care, shared meals, and the gentle reminder that food still holds joy.
The hardest Thanksgiving of my life led me to an unexpected meal—Greek shrimp with tomatoes and feta—and a reminder that comfort often comes from what’s unfamiliar.

The Thermoworks DOT is the secret to success

Using a Probe Thermometer like the Thermoworks DOT is the only way to roast or fry anything perfectly.  The DOT constantly monitors the temperature of anything including roasts, fish, and even frying oil. A “must-have” for any home cook and my secret to success in the kitchen.
