We picked up a few beautiful yukon gold potatoes today and thought that scalloped potatoes sounded like a good idea.
I dug through some old cookbooks and decided on this recipe for scalloped potatoes.
Since we only had three medium sized potatoes, I figured that the quart of hot milk was a bit too much, so I cut it […]
Look at that, a bunch of days went by so quickly and no posts on RetroFare.
Our bad. We were busy with our offline life together and just didn’t get organized in time to post all the stuff we had planned.
But we’re back on track, so look for more tasty recipes.

Overnight Oatmeal is especially bad for this, but I’ve found a way to dislodge most of the baked on residue.
Just fill up the crock pot with water and a little detergent and […]
This may come as something of a shock given the nature of the site, but I’m not a huge fan of recipes per say.
As an idea, a spark and very loose guidelines they’re wonderful and a healthy shelf of them will always make for a better kitchen. Just never taken much of a particular interest […]

With Saint Patrick’s day coming up fast, we’re going to spend the rest of the week focused on this lucky holiday.
Stay tuned for some tasty Irish fare!
