As Vbar mentioned in her posts, we had a bit of a celebration this past weekend! In honor of she and her ManCrow’s engagement, we had a bit of a party. And by bit of a party, I mean one hell of a drunken summer festival. By virtue of a strong willing of the gods, [...]
Read more →Hello blog, its been a while. After a long journey across the country with my man crow, my cat, and in a strangers car, I’ve arrived in New England. More importantly, I will soon be reunited with the JP crows! I immediately started missing Oakland, and Oakland taco trucks, the second we left California. The [...]

Read more →The first grilled pizza made it off the grate and for me that signafies the official beginning of the grilling season! Crows are fond of grilling almost everything (veggie pouches, fish, shrimp, burgers, kabobs, mushroom caps, etc.) but what gets us most excited would have to be pizza. What started off as a high anxiety [...]
Read more →I know St. Patty’s is in our past but the Corned Beef and Cabbage meal us JP Crows feasted on was definitely worth sharing. Even if you’re not feeling this meal in its entirety, try just cooking the corned beef to use in morning hash or tasty sandwiches such as the reuben! Corned Beef and [...]
Read more →Due to some recent events, I’ve been unable to cook as often as I’d like. Luckily for me, Jamaica Plain has an abundance of delicious restaurants and cafes.
