Hearty Oaties
The First Reader’s favorite cookies are, surprisingly, almost healthy. Almost. But not all the way there. Oh, and the other thing about these? They must never, ever have raisins in them. Raisins are evil deceptions for people expecting chocolate chips. A while back I ran out of butter, but wanted to make cookies, so I…

Hot Soft Pretzels
The other day the First Reader had mentioned pretzels. And he wasn’t talking about the hard ones I buy in bulk for kid snacks. I knew what he meant… the warm, soft, delicious things that most people associate with overpriced mall vendors of dubious origin. I’ve made soft pretzels before, and they aren’t difficult to…

Date-Walnut Muffins
When you start out the day with a vista like this, cold, gray, and a layer of fresh snow on frozen ground, but not enough to be a glistening white blanket of winter wonderland… that’s when you need something special. I was standing in the kitchen contemplating what to do for breakfast when the First…

Pumpkin Pie
In the morning, it was a pumpkin. By evening, it was a pie. Since my website seems to not be supporting images any longer (I’ve been having trouble with my host, will be finding a new one when I have time. So… next month, late) I have put the photos in a Flickr album. …

The EHEH Korean Restaurant
A while back, cut off from our favorite Korean place by a staff holiday, we tried out an Emergency Holographic Korean Restaurant, and deemed it good, but not as good as our favorite. Yesterday, on our date night, we discovered what the First Reader deemed the Emergency Holographic, Emergency Holographic Korean Restaurant. Cumbersome, but it works.…

Travel Food
Growing up, we did a lot of traveling. As a military brat of parents with itchy feet, I had about 19 addresses by the time I left home for college at 18 years of age. We also did a lot of travel on the cheap for vacations. I’d been in 42 states until I finally…

Korean Elk Tacos
This is a post about trying new things. Last summer I took the Geeky Kids to Jungle Jim’s and let them pick out an exotic meat to try in a recipe. We wound up making Kangaroo Pot Pies, which were delicious and they loved. This summer, I was lobbying for Llama, but the girls said…

The Geeky Kids Cool Off
As promised, the first in the short summer series of fun activities to do with your geeky kids. Unfortunately, because of the heat, we haven’t been doing much, really, except that there has been a lot of reading. And we’ve been making ice cream. The Little Man started the first recipe, by wanting me to…

Eat This While You Read That: Lee and Miller
A couple of weeks ago I featured a lowly, plebian sandwich on ETWYRT. Today’s recipe is pretty much the exact opposite of the zombie apocalypse grilled cheese. I really enjoy the Liaden series, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. I came into it backwards, in a way, discovering Fledgling through the Baen webscriptions, and then…

Easy-Peasy Ciabatta Bread
I needed a bread for an ETWYRT recipe, and it’s been a while since I made this, but it’s so good. And it’s super easy to make up, it just takes a while. This is a bread that can take two days to make, or you can do it in five hours. Most of that…

Review: Tupelo Honey Cafe
During my recent trip to Knoxville, we got together with friends, and they wanted to meet us for Dinner. Since I talk about food a lot on this blog (seriously, I have no idea when I became a foodie. I like food, but I’m happy with the simple stuff, too!) they wanted to go to…

Eat This While You Read That: Mark Wandrey
You know, usually with an ETWYRT meal it’s fun. I enjoy the process of cooking, and photographing. Preparing, staging, and shooting Mark’s meal made me giggle like a madwoman, much to the amusement of the First Reader, although once he realized what Mark had given me, and what I planned to do, he was making…
