Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs

I’m trying this recipe that was posted on Food52 – This is the middles – gonna let them chill for a bit and brave the grocery store, on a Saturday afternoon. Mostly it’s been pretty easy to work with – I just colored a bit too much of the filling mixture yellow, so I’ll have […]

DebsLunch on Tastespotting

I’ve started to put a few things on Tastespotting – take a peek – you can google DebsLunch Tastespotting or go here or here.

Snowed in – or something

I tried a slightly different kind of event this afternoon at School Woods – sort of a tea, an afternoon buffet of desserts and snacks.  I thought the food was really nice. Only a small group of diners showed up to enjoy it, though – must be the weather, or who knows what. It’s snowing […]

Breakfast in Austin

 

Austin, Texas

I signed up for a half-day post-conference workshop, and went to one session + the closing keynote – and then the workshop. I got in about 2:30 on Tuesday, and decided to take the […]

It was a little disappointing. The only food that there was really enough of was platters of gado-gado – Indonesian peanut sauce, served […]

Feeding the kids without shopping

Much. John’s been here since Monday night, awaiting his surgery for his new ankle. I can’t quite remember the order of everything – one night I made the kale potato gratin, and somehow we didn’t eat until 8:00. I’m sure it was a little too kale-y, greens-y for Mark. I test-drove my new mandoline, and […]

John’s new ankle

So we’re in the recovery room after John’s surgery to fix the break in his ankle. Even laid up in bed, his photo of the photo of the pins in his leg is better than mine. Can’t wait to take him home.
