Lots of pumpkin and orange fall-y foods – Autumn vegetable hash with eggs baked on top, squash challah – but the hits of the day were the bacon & cheese pull-apart bread, and the pumpkin sticky pudding. I got the bacon bread recipe from taste of home – but instead of using purchased bread dough, […]
Made kale, white bean & sausage soup. And roasted cauliflower, walnut & parsley salad. But I only ate a little bit of the soup, to save room for pie. posted from my iPhone
I had a nice birthday party for School Woods on Friday. I’ve been serving meals there for 5 years. It was an after work cocktail party, stand-up, nibbles and sips. I made: Crostini with goat cheese, slow-roasted tomato, & pickled onion – homemade baguettes, and I used Heidi’s technique of pouring the oil (or butter) […]
Trying to create detente between instagram & Tumblr. They’re still not really talking – I can email photos from instagram to Tumblr, but I don’t like the way the post looks as well as I like a simple URL post on Tumblr – see below. But at least I can post, and use all those […]
On Saturday, I had breakfast quesadillas – I made an egg pancake with cubes of roasted squash (leftover from last Wednesday’s pizza) and onions sauteed with a dash of smoked paprika, then grilled it inside flour tortillas with some cheese. Eaten with sour cream & salsa – but the pictures with the condiments didn’t look […]
There are lots of recipes out there for long cooked green beans – green beans that go against the current taste for crisp-tender, that are simmered for long enough to get tender and toothsome. Probably the first one I tried was Deborah Madison’s from Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone – she has you layer onions, the […]
Mark’s dad died last Friday, and we got back from the funeral in North Carolina at about 10:00 p.m. last night. That’s why I was writing and obliterating my leek tart post in the Orlando airport on Sunday – we were on our way to NC. Had to get up at 3:45 a.m. on Sunday […]
This afternoon I made leek tart, basically Molly Wizenberg’s recipe, but with a few of my own tweaks. Here’s the recipe, below the picture: Crust: I used my 2nd attempt at the Chez Pim rubbed & folded “one crust to rule them all, (I screwed it up my first try) but it’s a good recipe. […]
We have an AFS student this school year, a 17-year Italian girl. As I’ve alluded to in past posts, she’s a bit like me at 17 – persnickety about food, because she wants to control what she’s putting in her mouth. Like Mark, she’s not a hearty eater to gobble up whatever I cook. (It’s […]
… is still a latke. Here’re the photos – we had potato-carrot pancakes with sour cream, raspberry sauce, & baked apples; vegetarian or pork sausage links; eggs; challah for toast; and apple-filled cimmy buns and honey-walnut topped cimmy buns.
