  • Outlander 704 Recap & Review

    ,

    This was a great episode. We got a lot of great call-backs to previous storylines. We saw hints of Jamie show up in William while we saw hints of Claire show up in Bree. Young Ian befriends William and saves his life (much like Auld Ian did for Jamie many times). This episode brought about… Read more

  • 703 Recap & Review

    ,

    I loved the opening sequence and title card for this episode. Bear McCreary’s music is on point and it makes the viewer so glad to be back in Scotland! This time though we see a modern city and power poles! And to see an old box with Jem’s name inscribed on it, and later see… Read more

  • 702 Recap & Review: Where the Weird & Wretched Meet

    ,

    Welcome back to my rewatch of season 7.  We see poor Claire trying to put the pieces of her life back together as she wanders the Ridge when she comes along the last Christie standing…er kneeling. And then things take a dark turn. Maybe this episode should be titled “Where the Weird Things Are.” At… Read more

  • Figgy Piggy

    With finding out the Bugs had a bar of gold, this is a subtle tribute to the White Sow and where the Bugs’ gold is stashed. Book readers, IYKYK…. Ingredients Instructions Options for cooking: Read more

  • Terrible Times Tomato Soup

    , ,

    Ingredients My mini indoor tomato garden! Directions Variations Need this cooked up faster? Substitute fresh tomatoes with 2 – 16 oz cans of roasted tomatoes. But the roasting fresh tomatoes enriches the flavor. Can substitute heavy cream with 1/4 cup cream cheese or goat cheese. Sprinkle favorite shredded cheese on top (parmesan, smoked gouda, sharp… Read more

  • Outlander 7A – 701 Recap & Review

    , ,

    Outlander is back baby! Even though I’m blogging this on a rewatch, this episode still has those new season vibes. I love Outlander and started blogging about it during the second half of Season 7. In today’s world of show binging, it’s always interesting to me to watch Outlander week-to-week as it premieres and then… Read more

  • Mashed Cauliflower w/ Bacon & Gouda

    , ,

    Things are often not what they seem. Why have mashed cauliflower when you could have mashed potatoes? I don’t know if this means I’m calling Jamie a potato and Tom Christie a cauliflower. Either way, some butter, cream, bacon, and gouda make it taste amazing, even if we aren’t having the real thing. While I… Read more

  • 716 Recap & Review

    , ,

    To quote the infamous Billy Crystal, “How do you say goodbye to someone you could never say hello to?” (It’s from a hilarious movie called Parental Guidance. If you need a good laugh and change of mood after this finale, check it out.) And while this quote may come from a comedy, I find that… Read more

  • Caramelized Onion Quiche

    , ,

    Since episode 716 of Outlander included the return of our most intriguing Frenchman, I knew I needed a French twist to my breakfast as I mulled over the surprising cliffhanger. Caramelizing the onions gave me time to think things over. If you needed a leisurely morning to contemplate things, this is the breakfast for you.… Read more

  • Outlander 7B – 715 Recap & Review

    , ,

    Starz making us wait two weeks before the last episode is always rough. In some ways with going back to school, it’s nice to have the extra time but I’m also sad to have that Friday roll around and have nothing to watch that night. It’s always a tricky time where I’m grateful Droughtlander is… Read more
