    I was kidding around with Leo when I asked him for a dish to write up for ETWYRT. I don’t even have to ask, I typed, I can just make pizza and serve it with Mountain Dew. Hey! He came back, I’m eating a lot healthier now! After some time to think, he told me…

    Lloyd A Behm is responsible for one of the Hard SF books written in the last couple of years that is eminently readable. Since this meal took me a couple of days from start to finish, you’ll have plenty of time to read. The Martian Aria is reviewed here, but the thumbnail is: great characters,…

    I think this may be the best book I’ve read all year that was published this year. If I did that sort of thing, I’d nominate it for an award. And not only is it an excellent read, but it’s a debut novel. You don’t see this much awesome in one place very often. I…

    As my readers likely realize, I know most of the authors in this series to one extent or another. That is, after all, how I get the chutzpah to ask them for a moment of their busy time to talk to a nutty lady about food and cooking. James Young is no exception. I met…

    There is no actual rabbit in this dish. The name is properly Rarebit, but most people hear that as rabbit, so that’s become the common name for it. There is, though, a lot of cheese in it, and that’s why I made it. My dear First Reader loves cheese, and on a shopping trip not…

    I’ve been very happy to have a grill in my life again. But I do miss smoking my meats… and a smoker isn’t an option, we just don’t have room. That, and if we move soon as we plan to, I don’t want to deal with any more large items than I have to. The…

    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…

    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…

  • The Wasp Apologia

    In defense of the humble wasp, so hated and feared by most humans, I put forth the following argument: the wasp is better than the mosquito. Every spring our old farmhouse is invaded by gentle brown paper wasps. They hibernate in the walls and roof through the winter, and a few become confused and make…

    Juliet, my eleven-year old daughter, bought a huge parsnip at the winter farmer’s market with her own money. She came back to me brandishing this white war club and hollering, “Look how big it is! It was only two dollars. I love parsnips, can we make soup?” It came home with us, went in the…

      I have been making bread since I was a girl, I can remember making it when I was nine or ten, and I can remember watching my mother make this particular recipe when I was even smaller. She would make a huge batch of bread, perfuming the whole house with the smell of baking,…

    Salsa Spanish for sauce, salsa has become american for “awesome chopped tomato-and-other-things dip”. My salsa recipe is very basic, but you can dress yours up. Salsa doesn’t need to be spicy, and the salsa I made for the summer reading program had no jalapenos in it at all. Tomatoes Onion Jalapeno Cilantro Salt Chop all…
