  • Eat This While You Read That: Misha Burnett and Louise Sorenson

    Eat This While You Read That: Misha Burnett and Louise Sorenson

      Buckle in, folks! This is going to be a long one! Also, these are less recipes, and more techniques which you can use to make many, many delicious variations on a theme.  When I reached out to Misha, who I know well, to ask him for a book and a dish for ETWYRT, I…

  • Eat This While You Read That: William Joseph Roberts

    Eat This While You Read That: William Joseph Roberts

      It’s been a while, and I have missed this. I’m not going to commit to it on a weekly programme again, sadly, those days of time and fun have passed into the night with the advent of career and kids needing my time on the weekends. However, I’m pleased and proud to present a…

  • Banana Waffles

    Banana Waffles

      This is a super quick and easy recipe, which is why I made it this morning. I wanted something baked and carb-a-licious, but I didn’t want to wait for something to bake after I mixed it up. Also, the kitchen is a mess (that’s my weekend excitement, how ’bout you?) so I didn’t really…

  • Mock Pecan Pie

    Mock Pecan Pie

      This is a recipe from my mother-in-law, Dorothy Portwood Wilson, and it’s another one of those I’m adding to my fascination with food anthropology. You can tell a lot from a recipe, reading between the lines. This one, for instance. It’s a fine recipe for those who enjoy pecan pie, but have tree nut…

  • Streusel Topping and Blackberry Crumble

    Streusel Topping and Blackberry Crumble

      Streusel is one of those things that is more a technique than a recipe. I don’t make it the same every time, and I suspect I’m not alone in that. However, for this I measured, so I could get those unfamiliar with the tasty, crunchy topping of goodness started. Then you get to improvise…

  • Low-Carb Pumpkin Bread

    Low-Carb Pumpkin Bread

      It’s Pumpkin Spice season! I wanted to take some snacks to work, and we were talking pumpkin, but there’s some folks who needed something that wasn’t all sugary and flour… and I have been meaning to do some gluten-free baking recipes for the blog for other reasons. So this hits both buttons: gluten-free, low-carb,…

  • Walnut Hull Ink

    Walnut Hull Ink

    If you live with Black Walnut Trees, you know all about the way the hulls stain your fingers when you try to reach the elusive but delicious nuts inside that baseball sized green hull. If you think about it, anything that stains can be used as a dye – or an ink. As a chemist…

  • ETWYRT: John Ringo

    ETWYRT: John Ringo

    This is a repost of the recipe, to move it back onto my blog from the original platform since Otherwhere Gazette is now defunct, and to reformat the recipe to make it printable. Also, it’s delicious and bears repeating! It’s difficult to pick out just one John Ringo book to recommend with this recipe. I’ve…

  • Chocolate Pie, Chocolate Pudding

    Chocolate Pie, Chocolate Pudding

    First, it’s pudding. Put it in a baked pie shell? Voila! It’s a pie!  Ok, following the new format for recipes, I’ll do the ingredient list, instructions, any chatty comments, then at the bottom I’ll have a printable version. Is this working for you all?  Chocolate Pie Put in saucepan:  1 c. white sugar 1/3…

  • Swedish Cookies

    Swedish Cookies

    This isn’t really a recipe. It’s more of a memory. But I hear you complain about the long story before the ingredients, so here! Pie Crust Scraps Softened or melted butter Cinnamon Sugar Preheat oven to 400 deg, if you are baking pie shells, or 375 for pies. Make up your pie crusts. Set aside…

  • Meat-Onna-Stick: How To

    Meat-Onna-Stick: How To

    I can’t really call it a recipe, because there ain’t one, is they? You starts wi’ meat, put it onna stick, and profit.  For my friends who share a mutual affection for Sir Pterry’s work, you’ll understand my amusement and nonsense that led up to this post. For those of you who haven’t yet experienced…

  • Making Corn Tortillas

    Making Corn Tortillas

    So when I traveled to Texas last year, I bought a tortilladora. It’s been a very long time since I made corn tortillas, and I miss having them. There is no comparison with the corn tortillas you buy in a bag at the store. Those are sad floppy replicas of the real things. Besides, my…
