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…

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…

Game Review and a (sort-of) Recipe
I will admit I’ve been pushing to play this game for a while, and the kids were a bit dubious. I don’t blame them – it’s more my topic than theirs. We have several versions of Fluxx, and have had more over the years that got lost along the way – Pirate Fluxx, Zombie Fluxx…

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…

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…

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,…

Eat This While You Read That: G Scott Huggins
So the conversation went something like this… Scott: I don’t know. Something with sausage? Maybe wurst? Me: I’ll do my wurst for you. And on that note! You should really read Scott’s book Doctor to Dragons if you appreciate humor. Especially low humor, because the book is about a veterinarian, and if you thought James Herriot…

Eat This While You Read That: Dave Freer
This is a repost of the First Reader’s favorite thing I made during the year of authors and food I blogged a while back. I miss that, I wish I had the time again… but today, it’s the First Reader’s birthday, so I’m sharing this recipe and plan to make it for him this evening. …

Vintage Kitchen: Scalloped Potatoes
When I picked this recipe, it was because I wanted a side dish to have with dinner, I had potatoes on hand, and I have fond memories of my Dad’s versions of Potatoes au Gratin (which he has won prizes with. But that’s another post, if he’ll let me use his recipe). This… is not…

Vintage Kitchen: Bread Pudding
I grew up eating bread pudding. It’s a cheap, filling breakfast (or dessert, more on that later) that uses up things we usually had in abundance: bread, milk, and eggs. Since we were milking goats, kept chickens, and making homemade bread which stales if you look at it funny, it was a great option. Later…

Vintage Kitchen: Mushroom Dream
Week three of cooking through my heirloom antique and vintage cookbook collection, and I’m serving up a recipe that made my First Reader’s eyes light up when he saw it. He loves anything that calls for mushrooms. This recipe comes from the 1929 International Cook Book, and you can find some of the contributors in…

Vintage Kitchen: Glazed Honey Rolls
Welcome to the second week of Vintage Kitchen, where I’m making recipes from old cookbooks. Some of them are family heirlooms, some are not. This week, I pulled a recipe for breakfast out of the cookbook my Great-Grandma Ella left me when she passed away. The cookbook reminds me of her kitchen, and the things…
