Blood Orange Meringue Pie
A twist on an old recipe! This was fun to do, and now I kind of want to do it again only with grapefruit. I’m sure I’m not the only one who is a fan of blood oranges. And I know there was some excitement on my social media when I made a comment…

Mustard Cake
This is a recipe 40 years in the making. You know those family legends that are told and re-told at every family gathering? Usually a source of embarrassment to the her.. er, culprit in the tale, who was too young to know any better but can’t live it down? Well. my family has one they…

Dad’s Sticky Buns
So my Dad was never one to cook or clean (sorry, Dad, but it’s truth!) so when he did cook, I remember it well. This is one of the things he’d make when I was a kid, as a surprise breakfast. We loved it, but we definitely didn’t love cleaning up after it. Sticky isn’t…

Sugar Cookies: It’s Science!
The First Reader gave me a lovely Christmas present. When he told me about it, he apologized. “You’re going to have to do more work when you get it.” On Christmas morning when I unwrapped it, I understood. Cookie cutters, clever little science cutters with fiddly impression-making bits inside them. A test tube, microscope, Erlenmeyer…

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…

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…

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,…

Why Different?
It’s different, he said. Good different or bad different? I queried curiously. Just different. I don’t know why you had to make chocolate cake different. I don’t know either. Because I could? Because I was curious and wanted to see what would happen if I baked a cake with S’mores flavored porter as the liquid?…
