    We were sitting on the porch at Dorothy-Mom’s house last week, talking. Making plans for summer, musing about summers gone by, and relaxing. We do that a lot at her house. But I mentioned that I’d gotten an ice-cream maker, partly for an ETWYRT recipe, and partly for the kids to amuse themselves with this…

    This takes a while to bake – perfect for a morning when you don’t have to run right out the door for work or school. It could be used as dessert, too, although I’d up the amount of sugar or drizzle caramel sauce over it if I were going to serve it that way! I…

    When I asked Martin Shoemaker, who I know best for hard science fiction stories, for a dish and a title for ETWYRT, he surprised me. The story he recommended was one that he’d written this dish into… and it’s about voudon, and a grandfather, and a sweet potato pudding. Ok, the pudding isn’t really a…

    This isn’t so much a recipe as it is an extrapolation of a recipe. Cheesecake is a very flexible dessert, lending itself very well to additions of other flavors, while being perfect delicious on it’s own. I blogged the cheesecake filling earlier this year, so start there… Once you have the crust started – and…

    Say you were making something else, like the cheesecake recipe. Or a pudding or custard. And you wind up with egg whites that are ‘leftover’ from the recipe. There’s an easy solution for that. Make these little confections. You can call them cookies, or candy, but no matter the name, they will be gone before…

    This isn’t my recipe, and I didn’t tinker with it (much). I played it (almost) straight, and got exactly what I wanted. The beauty of following a precise recipe is that you know it’s going to come out all right. Fluffy, light, delicate, a touch of bitter to offset the rich sweetness. Tiramisu continues to…

    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 those who read this blog for the recipes know, I love to make pie. Fortunately, my first Reader loves to eat pie, and this is his most-favorite flavor of that dessert. Baked goods spark an odd response from folks. Most of them love to eat them, but insist ‘I’m not a baker!’ and don’t…
