That's right, I'm not making Creme Brulee, which was chosen byMari of Mevrouw Cupcake. Not because I lack a butane torch - I have one. And I know how to use it. But since I've made Creme Brulee plenty of times in the past, I thought I'd try out one of the recipes I missed. And since I… Continue reading TWD Rewind – Brown Sugar-Pecan Shortbread

Tuesdays With Scratchy
Dorie? Dorie who? This is MY work table now. I don't really care what day it is. I'm not moving.
Unsolicited Commentary
I'm going through the checkout line with Julia a little while ago. The cashier is simultaneously ringing up my items and having a conversation with the bagger. And then she (the cashier) says to me: "You got a lot of weird-lookin' pasta."
Time for Another Cookbook Giveaway! Yippeeeee!
I keep getting cookbooks. Publishers send them, and they're starting to pile up faster than I can test drive and rate them. So guess what - you benefit!

Ham, Ham, Ham, Ham and Ham
Last night while dinner was in the works, Julia asked if she could have a slice of cheese. It was still a while til dinner would be ready, so I said sure. She had two slices, in fact. And I told her that was IT until dinner. A little while later, Alex was hungry and… Continue reading Ham, Ham, Ham, Ham and Ham
Easy Miso Soup – To Soothe Your Soul. And Your Stomach.
Bill has bronchitis and a sinus infection, both of which were accompanied by a bad sore throat for two days. Ever since I've known him, there have been two things that soothe his throat and make him feel better mentally, if not physically. One is tea with honey and fresh ginger.
