DeathClaw Steak and other Adventures
So the Little Man is a big fan of Fallout. He’s explained the premise of the video game to me a few times, and I’m still a little fuzzy on what’s going on, but I’ve gathered that American culture, in the game, froze about 1950, but nuclear power got bigger than it did in real…

Chocolate Cherry Almond Cake
For a cake with a long name, this one is simplicity itself to make. To start, it’s a doctored cake mix. I started doing these when I was in my teens, and was introduced to the concept by a professional baker who would simply take the basic box cake mix and add stuff in. Later,…

Vintage Kitchen: Pumpkin Pie
I do love pumpkin pie. I always look forward to the fall, when I can make it, and tuck into it with all the delicious whipped cream… ok, these days I often skip that part, for reasons. But I rarely make it out of season, even though there is no real reason not to –…

Second Breakfast Bread
I’m a huge Tolkein fan. I’ve always identified most with the hobbits, and specifically with Rosie Cotton – the girl Samwise Gamgee came home too. Of all those who were cursed to foray forth on that eventful journey, he is the one with the happiest ending. So it tickles me to realize that this bread…

Tasty Pork Cutlet Bowl
My daughters are both avid anime fans. I can’t keep up with all of them, but I did know that one of the girls had squee’d over, and bought, a sticker for her laptop that featured the words ‘Tasty Pork Cutlet Bowl’ and I’d caught the implication that it was a term of endearment. So…

Fried Green Tomatoes
I tend to make these at two times of the year: when the tomatoes aren’t yet ripe, but there are a ton of big greens hanging there taunting me, and just before or after the first frost of the year when I’m trying to make the most of the harvest. This recipe was requested by…

Pantry Organization
If you all are anything like me – and from the sounds of it, many of you are at least in this respect – you know and embrace the value of a fully loaded and operational pantry. The ability to provide for one’s family at the drop of a hat… or, more likely, during an…

Eat This While You Read That: Connie Elliot
In the facebook group of the titular name, I’d put out a call for published authors when I restarted ETWYRT. Several responded, and one commented that she didn’t really fit the bill. ‘Are you published?’ I asked. She was, it was just… well, it’s not fiction. It looks like fascinating non-fiction, to be honest, but…

Eat This While You Read That: Margaret Ball
A while back I noted that I had a commenter by the name of Margaret Ball. “Can’t be,” I told the First Reader. “Must be a common name.” I followed the blog link in her username and found a lovely fabric artist’s blog. “It’s not her…” I was wrong. It was indeed that Margaret Ball,…

Eat This While You Read That: George Phillies
The last time I had a recipe from George, it was a fun hot mess, not because of his snickerdoodles, but because I was baking under unusual circumstances. This recipe was a bit more pulled-together, but not by much, because… But first! You should check out George Phillies’ books. Minutegirls is my favorite, not only…

Eat This While You Read That: G Scott Huggins
So the conversation went something like this… Scott: I don’t know. Something with sausage? Maybe wurst? Me: I’ll do my wurst for you. And on that note! You should really read Scott’s book Doctor to Dragons if you appreciate humor. Especially low humor, because the book is about a veterinarian, and if you thought James Herriot…

Eat This While You Read That: Amie Gibbons
Welcome back, gentlereaders! Amie asked me nicely if I would be willing to revive the popular series pairing food and books, since she had a book, and a recipe…. and it’s been a long time. I have badly missed this series. It lasted over a year, and I loved doing it. Since her request came…
