Molasses-Spice Cookies
I have a favorite cookie. I would guess that you have one too. A little (or big) bite of butter and sugar that brings back memories of childhood, a specific season, a family kitchen. Marcel Proust took one bite of a madeleine cookie and was compelled to write his 7-part, bajillion-page memoir, Remembrance of Things [...]
Mini Meatloafs with Mushroom Gravy
Generally speaking, I am not a fan of Rachael Ray. I find her voice annoying, her ingredients sometimes questionable, and her end results unappetizing. I am not alone in this, of course, as this article shows. However, among the Tex-Mex Pasta dishes and the various incarnations of “Stoup”, there are a few rare gems. One [...]
Sunday Morning Crepes
Mmm…Sunday Mornings: usually the one time of the week when I can sleep in for a couple hours, then drowsily rise to eat a leisurely full breakfast from my couch with a full mug of tea and a warm blanket draped over my lap. Recently, however, various trips and family obligations have kept me from [...]
Plum, Pear and Cardamom Coffee Cake with SoCo, Saffron and Ginger Ice Cream
I have been reading other food blogs for about a year now, and have always enjoyed the community that is formed in this way online. Bloggers from Paris, Canada, Seattle, Zurich and beyond can share their recipes, anecdotes, advice and recommendations with the touch of a button, and they do! Evidence of the warm collaboration [...]
Beef Stew in the Slow Cooker
This weekend I made stew. Steaming hot, thick and meaty, spotted with bites of carrots, potatoes and chestnuts. Can you say fall? Though the stew was absolutely delicious, and the effects of comfort food are wonderful and reliable, my favorite part of the whole experience was the method used. My lovely friend Jerry, with whom [...]
Failed Chicken and the Slow Food Movement
This post was supposed to be about chicken. Roasted whole chicken with crispy browned skin and juicy flavorful meat, draped in a flourish of rich gravy. Your mouth is watering, isn’t it? Mine would be too, if right now I were recalling the chicken described above. But I am not. I am thinking about the [...]
Steak – It’s What’s for Dinner
Whether your bank account is being hit particularly hard right now by the current financial crisis or, like me, you are a perpetual penny-pincher, everyone can appreciate a recipe that brings dinner to a crowd for $20 or less. In fact, this steak preparation has many advantages. Besides being inexpensive, the prep time is minimal, [...]
Tuna – The Last 2 Ways I Know
I am thrilled and very very proud to say that my husband has brought in his first tuna today. Here is a picture of the 170+ lb. beast. Its arrival has pushed forward my time line for the final two installments of my “Tuna Four Ways” series. Here are the recipes I use for tuna [...]
Tuna Another Way – Steaks on the Grill
The tuna steak is a truly beautiful piece of meat to behold. Jewel-like in color, smooth and tender in texture and, if really fresh, flavored with a mild hint of brine and not a bit of ‘fishiness’. I live with someone who, before his job took him to Portsmouth, would not eat fish of any [...]
What to do when a man gives you a fish OR…Tuna 4 Ways
My husband RJ used to work for Navtronics, a marine electronics company in Portsmouth, NH. In that job he crossed paths with boaters of all kinds – not only yachtsmen with large sailing vessels, young former frat guys with their speedboats, and old salts looking to update from lead lines to depth sounders, but also [...]
