Angeled Eggs
Deviling is a food process, a snarky reference to the fires of hell and the spices people added to things like deviled eggs that made them seem hot to taste. Devilled eggs are a traditional picnic and party food, only my dear First Reader’s mother made them differently, and when he discovered that people didn’t…

Eat This While You Read That: Mark Alger
Mirror-posted from The Otherwhere Gazette this morning: I’m back on track after a week or so off, but I’m also writing busily. Enjoy! This is a not-too-sweet recipe perfect for indulging without threatening your hips and waistline. Mark assures me that his lovely but lethal main character Dolly adores apricot danishes. I’m with Dolly on that…

Empanadas and Bunuelos
When I did the speech for Central American Food, I took treats in for my classmates. A sweet and a savoury, both were things that could easily be street fare, and could be eaten out of hand. They went over very well, and I thought it was worth the effort in making them. Left to…

It’s not a Beauty Contest
Sometimes it’s all about that taste, not the looks. When it comes to this recipe, that’s a good thing, because this is all creams and browns and monotone. Not that it matters when you put a bite in your mouth. Then, it sings. Tart notes, rich, sweet, the ineffable umami… Apple Crisp I bought a bag of…

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…

Beer, Whiskey, and Cigars
I’d better start this off by explaining I partook of none of the above. I was tagging along with my First Reader, who was. He met up with part of his D&D group (they have been playing together since 1985) at the Dublin Pub in Dayton, Ohio, for a whiskey tasting event. They guys didn’t…

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.…
