Clear the Tabs
I don’t have a lot of time this morning, so here’s some stuff I’ve been reading/looking at of interest. You might be amused by it as well. There’s a recipe for a Sweet Potato Cream Cheese Pie I’ve been eyeing. The First Reader doesn’t care for sweet potatoes, but the rest of us do!…

The Recipe Index
I’ve been asked many times if I’m planning to do a cookbook. Not in the near future, no… but I did get a prompt from George Phillies that got me looking for index plugins for WordPress. As a result, there’s now a ‘recipe box’ you can use to explore the recipes I’ve blogged here. With…

Why Read Cookbooks?
As a companion piece for my post today at the Mad Genius Club, where I talk about audience for writers, and give the results for a very interesting survey I conducted of readers, I decided that I’d talk here about why you should read cookbooks. Not just to use them for looking up recipes, but…

Eat This While You Read That: LB Johnson
It’s rare that I have a recipe in this series where I haven’t talked to the author directly, and it’s also rare that I have a recipe I can’t publish. That’s because the author is a friend of friends and they asked her about taking part, and because like me, she cooks and posts recipes…

State of the Writer
Tired. Yesterday I spent literally all day running around with my kids, getting groceries, laundry done… all those little things that you must do when you’ve been away and on the road for eight days. Today, for some reason, I ache. I contemplated just writing in public, this morning. Starting where I’m at in the…

ETWYRT: John Ringo
Mirror-posted from the Otherwhere Gazette: It’s difficult to pick out just one John Ringo book to recommend with this recipe. I’ve been reading his books for as long as I’ve been a Baen Barfly, and that’s coming up on fifteen years now. Given the nature of the dish itself, I have to say that reading…

Review: I’m Just Here for the Food
This is a review of a series of books, actually. They are books I have prominently displayed on a shelf, and they are among the very few books in my house that get pulled out and consulted frequently. I also write in them: notes, dates, and adjustments. I’m talking, of course, about the cookbooks I…

Mincemeat
I am trying to help a friend out with a request for good old-fashioned mincemeat that tastes good. The following are images from my Great-Grandmother Ella Vanderburg’s Grange Cookbook. I need to ask my grandmother and great-aunt if one of them is her recipe. I have fond memories of her feeding me spoonfuls of elk…

The Recipe Box
It’s raining heavily outside this morning, and as I was sipping coffee, looking at my list of what needs to be done, and thinking about this blog, I decided it was the perfect morning to do a little meal planning combined with a trip down memory lane. One of the best gifts I was ever…
