Secret Life of Pizza

So I’ve been on a quest for the perfect pizza dough recipe for some time now.  I used to buy Bertucci’s dough at the restaurant until they tripled the price.  Since we now live in the middle of nowhere, it’s definitely not worth trying to figure out how to get there when they’re open and […]

Cool Runnings

Whoever would have thought the luge Looj would run right here on the sunny east coast?  Those of you who know us well, know that we are lazy and gadget-crazed.  It’s a lethal combination really.  So welcome the newest member of our gadget family… In case you couldn’t tell from the video, Looj is a gutter-cleaning […]

Foto Friday (with a Ty update)

Thursday AM In last minute, Corkum fashion, we had left gift buying for the foster family until Thursday morning.  We headed back to Namdaemun and Shinsegae in an effort to secure gifts for the […]
