A.) It’s rainy. B.) It’s chilly. C.) My husband was on a business trip this week meaning that I parented our five boys solo. D.) My husband got in from that business trip at 1:30 a.m. this morning. E.) I’ve been canning like a maniac for weeks on end. F.) I have a hole in my heart that was created by [...] Cherry season usually gets away from me. It seems like I find out cherries are on about twelve hours before the end of the (what feels like a twenty four hour) season. I usually manage to get one or two glorious pounds. We dispatch of those quickly with a manic eating and pit spitting binge that [...] I have to admit that Celery Soda is not exactly a normal sounding recipe. While watching Alton Brown whip together this recipe on Good Eats, my first thought was, “Celery WHAT?” My incredulity notwithstanding, the idea took hold. And boy did it ever take hold. My brain kept trying to imagine how a syrup steeped with celery [...] Have you ever noticed that males of all species have a tendency to (How can I put this delicately?) be malodorous? I’m talking from a position of knowledge and experience here; I have a husband, five sons, and two male dogs. We also have chickens and a cat.

This is one of the most clever ideas I’ve seen out of the King Arthur Flour Baker’s Circle lately. (And they’re no creative slouches over at King Arthur.) In the most recent e-newsletter* from their test kitchen they included a [...] This is the cook’s time of year -the holiday season; the time when we pull out all the stops in our culinary repertoires. This is when cooks everywhere extend themselves to create the most spectacular and succulent savories and sweets that they can possibly turn out of their kitchen. It is time to ‘wow’ your family [...] From as far back as I can remember, Christmas Eve was all about snacking–we would have a table loaded down with various cold meats and cheeses, special dark and light rye and pumpernickel breads, my mother’s Christmas punch, lots of chips and crackers with accompanying dips and spreads, and of course, platters of cookies. While we [...] Okay, we’re getting down to the finish line here, and if you are like me, you have found that you have missed a couple of folks you wish to gift, and today is NOT a day you want to spend going shopping. So, you have to take a look at what is left from all the [...]
I think this might be a case of saving best for near the last, except that I didn’t know they’d be so dadburned good when I made them last night. I didn’t even really plan on making them, but I had to play with some coconut I had in the pantry. My sister’s kids [...] They don’t call them quick breads for nothin’! Here are a couple of recipes I’ve used to great acclaim over the years, and my source for these is my mother–a great baker in her own right. These two breads in particular have been appreciated as Christmas gifts by my own family, and I just shipped a [...] |
