“Baking Miracle?” That was my first thought when I saw Deb’s post on Bread without a timetable. Actually, it was probably my third thought after “yum” and “why aren’t I cooking this now?” It was particularly intriguing to me as I have a tendency to test the limits of recipes. I don’t read them through [...]

Sports Fan and I are a little under the weather this weekend and both of us were thinking about beef stew. So when he said, “how about some beef stew for dinner,” I was already one step ahead.
Except that I did not have a recipe picked out, which is usually a long, drawn out process [...]

Bavarian pretzels are also a part of German history and Oktoberfest, so I bring you a soft pretzel recipe from Sugarlaws.

This recipe was very easy to make and was quite delicious. I ate… too many of them. They don’t even have to be hot to be tasty, but they do taste best the day [...]

First, a note on that for-breakfast-only banana bread. It did not last long at all and I am probably making it again today. As in it was oh-my-goodness-delicious. Make it. You’ll thank me.OktoberfestHeld for sixteen days in Munich, Germany, in the end of September and beginning of October. The largest festival in the world. In [...]

I said I was not going to make any desserts, but hear me out. I did not count on three perfect overripe bananas calling out “bake with me, bake with me.” And banana bread is not technically dessert, it is more of a breakfast food. Right?
I knew you would see it my way.
There is no [...]

I was having a craptastic day last week when I found out that someone had mutilated my squishy stress toy cow. My baby ku. His leg was dangling by a piece of Styrofoam and plastic and I had no suspects. So my husband went online and ordered me some toys to cheer me up. Take [...]

Yesterday’s post was in the running for the most boring post post ever! Table settings? YAWN. I know what you, Dear Reader, must be thinking. Where are the cakes, pies and cookies? The truth is, I’ve been preoccupied trying to set up a new home for Anonymous New York. (Shh!) It’s a tough job, especially [...]

I came across a book we have on on manners called “A Gentleman at the Table,” available at Brooks Brothers. I believe it was given to Sports Fan as a gag gift. It has some funny tidbits in it, like a gentleman should not tuck his napkin into his shirt or unbuckle his belt after [...]

I’m sure I have mentioned it before, but Sports Fan* is the more imaginative** cook in our kitchen. He can throw a meal together with whatever is in the pantry and it will be a treat for the taste buds. I can, too, if we’re talking about pasta and gourmet, jarred pasta sauce, but that [...]
