Italy is one of those places….I immediately fell in love with. The sites, the sounds, and oh yeah, the FOOD. I could eat Pizza Margarita until the day I die. In fact, when we are over there, we rarely have a meal that doesn’t include our favorite pizza. It just goes without saying. I have […]
…of my husband. Now, he hasn’t said the first negative thing lately about my domesticity or lack thereof. Not a word about my cooking, the cleanliness of the house, or my ability to care for Seven. That is, until about 3:30 in the morning last night. For whatever reason, in the pitch black of night, […]
And here I thought no one knew who I was. I’ve been here in blogger land, kind of hiding out, thinking no one even knew I was at the party. Guess I was wrong…as Rigby of Butterbur’s Bistro just tagged me for my very first MeMe. (perhaps she saw me when I snuck over to […]
I have never made pudding.Or at least I don’t remember ever making pudding. Not even the Jello kind…though I doubt very seriously Jello is quite as complex as the Dorie recipe.Why does her recipe HAVE to involve a food processor?? Mine holds only 3 cups, and even halving this recipe wouldn’t have worked. So, what […]
This week of MKMW we were cooking Korean cuisine, thanks to Elra of Elra’s Baking. I’ll be honest, other than having an adopted cousin from Korea, I really know nothing about the country in general. Actually, that’s not entirely true. My aunt did have an exchange student from Korea for a few years (yes, years!!) […]
This weekend I have company. Jon’s folks are here because this weekend is the Country Club’s Member/Guest Tournament, and Jon and his dad play togehter. Last year they actually won some money…but this year Ron (Jon’s Dad) hurt himself while practicing – though it looks like he’s still going to try and play. Anyhoooo…that being […]
Which is the full on reason I HAD to buy this chocolate mold. Old School Barrel o’ Monkeys. Oh yeah. Just picture it, 5 years from now, when it is Seven’s mothers turn to bring snacks for the rest of the classmates, he’ll be the kid with the COOL Mom (God, let’s hope a bunch […]
So I am a little late. But better late than never! Back in 2001, right at the beginning of our travels, really, Jon and I spent close to a month traveling around Thailand. It was winter here in the States, and oh so warm and beautiful in Southeast Asia. We were lucky enough to spend […]
What an awesome TWD week…with the Fourth having so many cookouts and get-togethers, this was the perfect choice! luckily, I was able to pick my own berries for this pie earlier in the week, so to me, that makes it even better! Dorie’s pie crust comes together so easily…I will use it over and over! […]
This, I had to know. I’ve been seeing them on every blog from here to Mongolia…French Macarons. Or Macaroons. Or French Fussy Cookies. Not a macaroon like we Americans are used to – no – these are not coconut cookies. These cookies are fancy little bites of almond powdered meringue, baked, then sandwiched together with […]
