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 V -the final installment- of the series of component dishes to make the transcendent ‘Second to Naanwich’ that has turned me into a slobbering idiot. I know it took a long time to get the whole series of recipes to you, but good things take time and this is all worth [...] This past weekend I officially became my mother. If you’ve been reading me for a while, you’re aware that I am the eldest child in a large family that includes a baby sister. This baby sister of mine is still in high school. Sadly, she is not hopelessly stupid. No, she’s in high school because she’s [...] Let’s talk chicken stock. Do you keep it handy? Having chicken stock around is like owning a black dress or a pair of red shoes; it’s just something you have to have to have and it makes you feel good. The best chicken stock is made in your own kitchen. You can control the final product -the complexity, [...] A Disclaimer I love barbecue; real barbecue. I’m talking about meat that falls apart when a fork looks at it because it was cooked for hours over the smoking remnants of fruit trees. I refer to the method that requires hours of time spent lovingly tending a fire outdoors and turning and mopping meat. Please let this [...] This is a continuation of my Southern New Year’s Foods series. And it comes with an executive decision. I was unable to get photos of the dish, but I wanted you to have the recipe before New Year’s Eve. So up it goes sans photos of the greens! If I get photos of it at a [...] Tradition; that inexplicable tie that binds across generations. It’s the only reasonable way to explain an entire nation of people roasting turkeys on the fourth Thursday of November and grilling on the fourth day of July. Without it we would be hard-pressed to justify hundreds of people gathering annually in a tiny town in Pennsylvania on [...] Is it soup yet? We lived in Le Roy for just over a decade. We loved our home, our church, our community. We had rebuilt the house while living in it. (This process was helped along by the fact that it was bare studs, floors and outer walls and absolutely-nothing-else when we bought it.) We could’ve stayed [...] It’s finally Fall. I wait all year for this; pumpkins, scarlet maple leaves, blustery wind, butternut squash, grey clouds with bits of brilliant blue peeking through, hay bales, mega-bags of miniature chocolate bars (the best size for stashing in my apron pockets to cover ‘mommy-emergencies’), weather that justifies hours-long baking sessions, wool sock and scarf temperatures… [...] We don’t live in one of those mystical, magical places that can grow tomatoes all the live-long year. We have about a month, maybe two in exceptional weather conditions, where local tomatoes are worth eating. I tell you this not to make you feel sorry enough for me that you’ll send me crates of tomatoes in [...] |
