Egads! It’s Late
#cooking #recipe I’ve whiled away the day with errands, computer repairs (the real reason the post is so late) and suddenly it’s dinnertime. I know it happens to you, too, so here’s a fast and elegant recipe for those sort of nights when you’re not wanting a peanut-better sandwich, but you haven’t time for much…

Reading at the Table
Today’s Eat This While You Read That is up at Otherwhere Gazette. I made Brad Torgerson’s old family recipe and added a new one of my own to accompany it. I recommend Racers of the Night to read with this meal!

Cake for Breakfast
I’ve always thought the old Bill Cosby skit was hilarious – although I wouldn’t be like the mother in it – and he did (sort of) have a point. I mean, cake is no worse than sugary cereal, and it’s got eggs, which cereal hasn’t got. Protein to start your day is good. However, the cake…

Happy Pi Day Recipe!
It’s Pi(e) for lunch! I’d been asked for a quiche recipe, ‘without all the fancy ingredients’ not too long ago, and today seemed the like the perfect day to share it with my readers. I was a little surprised when this was asked, because for me quiche has always been what I jokingly call a…

Food Photography Challenges
I’ve been challenging myself with food photography this winter, while the weather is too miserable to get out and find my favorite subjects: bugs and flowers. Taking pictures of food presents a couple of challenges. The first is lighting. Natural light, as I’ve captured in the top photo of berries in sunlight from my kitchen…

Eat This While you Read That: Sarah Hoyt
When I asked Sarah for a recipe, I wasn’t sure what I was going to get. Sure, she’d talked for years (at her blog, According to Hoyt) about growing up in a small village in Portugal. And the favorite joke over in the comments at her blog is to watch out, or you’ll get carped.…

Coconut Meringue Pie
As those who read this blog for the recipes know, I love to make pie. Fortunately, my first Reader loves to eat pie, and this is his most-favorite flavor of that dessert. Baked goods spark an odd response from folks. Most of them love to eat them, but insist ‘I’m not a baker!’ and don’t…

Eat This While you Read That: Amanda S Green
Finally, after a day of cooking, I can present the post and pictures! I started out this morning by making the stock for the chicken and dumplings, which recipe you can find here. Amanda S Green, one of my favorite authors, who also writes as Sam Schall if you like space opera, was good enough…

Making Stock of Things
I’m going to blog a little differently today, as I am looking outside at 4-5 fresh fallen inches of snow, and more coming down on that. In addition to the ‘you ARE staying home today’ message this sends, I have had a very busy week in which I did not cook. Well, yes, there was…

All-American Apple Pie
Apples, Pie Crust, and suddenly you have something magical. This started with me picking up a bagful of granny smith apples on sale. My First Reader loves pie, and apple is one of his favorites. He likes granny smith as eating apples, I prefer mine a little sweeter. But for baking, the granny smith is…

The Breakfast Blog
Well, hello there… It’s been a morning. Nothing bad just me running late and enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and then it occurred to me I’d better bake a blog. Wait… that ought to be make a blog post. How about one on breakfasts? We’re told it’s the most important meal of the day, but it’s…
