Summer and corn dogs are like winter and hot cider; you just hafta. What is is about corn dogs that is so appealing? Is it as simple as the whole “food on a stick” universal truth*? Or is it more complicated? Maybe it comes down to the crazy appeal of the hot dog itself. Perhaps it’s the [...] Welcome to part IV of the series of component dishes to make the transcendent ‘Second to Naanwich’ that still has me obsessed almost three weeks after eating it. (Don’t forget to peek at Part I, Candied Jalapenos a.k.a. Cowboy Candy, Part II, Homemade Greek Yogurt and Cucumber Yogurt [...] Can you think of any scent more bewitching than that of fresh bread baking in the oven? It is nearly impossible to concentrate when I smell it. While the bread bakes my brain rummages through its box of all my favorite ways to eat a loaf hot from the oven; Should it be blueberry jam? Cold [...] I have an enduring love affair with bread. It’s not just the pure pleasure of pulling off a steaming heel of bread, slathering cold sweet cream butter over the top, sinking your teeth into the crumb and shattering the crust; although those are reasons enough to be devoted. Making bread; the process of measuring, mixing, kneading, [...] Time is up on the giveaway. I will now retreat with my calculator and devise a highly scientific method of picking the winner. (Actually, the winner will be chosen at random. I thought I should probably mention that!) I will announce the winner later today, so please come back to see who the lucky winner is! Everyone [...] We’ve been spring cleaning like crazy around here lately. It’s so invigorating to be able to open the windows after having them firmly shut since November.

Everything is fresh [...] Déjà Food Pronunciation: \ˌdā-ˌzhä-ˈfüd\ Function: noun Etymology: Yo Momma. (Actually, my step-momma… but I wanted to say that) 1. Leftovers. But with a French name, therefore, more sophisticated. Among the catalog of wonderful things my step-mother, Valerie, introduced me to when she and my father married are many now-standards for me: SOB Smoothies (‘Strawberry’, ‘Orange’, and ‘Banana’ Smoothies. What were you thinking [...] I am about to let you in on a secret. I routinely lie to my fourth born child. But I confine it to food and hope that since it’s with the end design of nourishing him that eventually I’ll be forgiven. He has such strict (and arbitrary) rules about what he will and won’t eat. He won’t touch [...] I make no secret of the fact that I’m a fan of the book ‘Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day’. Using their Master Recipe, I have experimented and made some of our new family favorites; Bread! Fully Loaded and English Muffins, among others. I’m the first to admit that I tend to get stuck in ruts. [...] Dang. It is cold. At least it is cold here in my own little corner of Amish country. When I woke this morning my outdoor thermometer was shivering.
