#1: Sadie’s class is exploring the countries of the world, and I’ve been called upon to make a French recipe for her third grade class. I’m looking for something that won’t chain me to the kitchen (it’s due next Wednesday – a mere FIVE days before Christmas) and will appeal to the palates of 8 […]

Five Days Left ’till the RRC#5 Deadline!
When I rolled out this challenge, I said that I loved Christmas-time but found it stressful. And this year is no different: Christmas is fifteen days away, I haven’t finished my shopping, I have 4 packages to send out, I have a mound of papers to correct, there’s family coming in for a visit on […]
On the Record about Cookin’ In the ‘Cuse
God, do I feel sterotypical doing this: here I am, blogging about an interview on blogging. I just got off the phone with a Syracuse journalism student (I don’t want to name her, because I didn’t ask if I could) doing a profile on Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, the author of Cookin’ in the ‘Cuse. I link […]
Stuffed Artichokes
Posts will be a bit spotty this week and next; it’s the end-of-the-semester crunch (grading papers) plus an out of town trip (moderating panels). Until things get back to normal, I’d like to share this recipe for stuffed artichokes. I picked it up in an Italian Cooking class and have made it countless numbers of […]

Don’t Miss The Frozen Pumpkin Dessert Squares!
Eliza’s Frozen Pumpkin Dessert Squares: pretty as a picture! In the RRC#4 Round-up, I neglected to include Eliza’s submission for Frozen Pumpkin Dessert Squares. They look like a great twist on a Thanksgiving classic, so please check out the dessert section of the RRC#4 for her creation!
Company’s Coming Mashed Potatoes
There’s a little bit of a story behind this: a few years ago, I was eating lunch at a church pot-luck. Pot-lucks are not know for culinary excellence. But there was one gem among the casseroles: a bowl of mashed potatoes. I fwaped some on my paper plate, and settled in among everyone else to […]
Planning Our Thanksgiving Menu
I’m happily curled up on my couch, home after teaching an 8 am course. Snow is falling outside, dusting everything with a glaze of white. The only sound is the ticking of pendulumed clock — it’s the perfect back-drop to tinker with our Thanksgiving menu. ~Thanksgiving 2006 Menu~Dinner for 7 (5 adults, 2 children) -Appetizers- […]
