Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
This isn't something you need a recipe for, but I just made a minor adjustment to the way I make them, so I thought I'd blog about it and maybe it would inspire you to make an adjustment to yours. (Or to comment about how you do it instead.) Short of incinerating the bread, there [...]
Kombucha
I talked to someone yesterday who's been brewing Kombucha. I'd heard of it but never tasted any, so I picked up a bottle at the grocery store last night. I just had some, and enjoyed it. It's a pleasantly sour taste. The bottle I bought is a bit sweeter than I would aim for if [...]
Semolina and Fennel bread
I originally got this recipe from the Cuisinart Bread Machine cookbook. The bread machine died, but the cookbook is much better than the one that came with the cheaper machine I replaced it with. I made it last night for the band, and everyone really liked it. I'm including the original proportions, but last night [...]
Julie and Julia (the movie)
The movie was more fun than the book. Or to be more precise, the movie is based on two books, and probably the one about Julia Child was more fun than the one about Julie Powell. My favorite scene was the one where Julia has just started at the Cordon Bleu cooking school and she's [...]
Mulled Cider
This is simple enough to be more of a procedure than a recipe, but since I've seen people spend a lot more time and money for less good results, I'm going to tell you about it anyway. I do this pretty much any time in the winter that I'm having people over. You have to [...]
Three Quarters Done, and Happy Thanksgiving
Yesterday was the three quarter mark on this year of blogging every day. I've been meditating on how I'll blog when I don't have to do it every day. There will be fewer junk posts because it's almost lunch time and I have to write something. There will also be no posts at all on [...]
Thanksgiving Planning
I'm expecting 8 or 9 people at my place for Thanksgiving dinner. I do Thanksgiving every year for my family and whatever friends don't get to their families and want to come. I have a schedule worked out where I go buy the turkey on Wednesday afternoon so it only has to take up refrigerator [...]
Tuscan kale salad with honey mustard vinaigrette
The item in the farm share I picked up last Saturday that seemed most seductive (even more so than the two giant stalks of brussel sprouts) was the bunch of dark green pebbly textured tuscan kale. The recipe I read before making the salad was this one. Then I chopped up the kale in thin [...]
Julie and Julia (the book)
So far I've only read the book; I'll probably tell you more when the movie comes out on DVD and I see it next month or so. I enjoyed it. When I realized how big a pain reading the PDF from the library was, I decided that if it wasn't finished by the time it [...]
