As long-time followers know, my wife Amanda and I occasionally make dumb little movie reenactment videos.

Recipes of Yesterday: Buttscoth Yummies
During a recent Skype call, my mother mentioned she was going through an old recipe file and found one of mine. “I don’t have recipes,” I said. “I defrost things.” “Well, this one has your name on it, and it’s in your old handwriting.” I squinted at the card she held up to the camera. … Continue reading Recipes of Yesterday: Buttscoth Yummies
