Pork fried rice with veggies

by Dan Jones on March 26, 2010

I thought I was going to make chicken fried rice, but I guess that bag in the fridge that my girlfriend took out of the freezer was actually pork. I wouldn’t really call this a recipe because one could put anything they want in this dish and really, the only thing required is to cook [...]

A titan versus a tyrant – a caesar battle

by Dan Jones on February 23, 2010

Saint John Alehouse (SJAH) recently held a staff Caesar making competition between co-owner Pete Stoddart and manager Shawn Horgan.
