I'm going easy again this week. We are still working on cars. Tony and I are modern YouTube mechanics. We both have some knowledge of cars. The only difference is my dad made me get my hands dirty and do the work, while his dad did not. So we pool our knowledge, look up stuff [...]

Digaag Quimbe
I picked this recipe this week because it was simple and from a cuisine I don't do very often. I have done a few African recipes, mostly North African. Digaag Quimbe is an East African recipe for coconut yogurt chicken. I found a recipe for this from Bon Appetit. While this is a chicken stew [...]
