Not that you’d know it by looking at my RSS feed, but I’ve done a lot of canning this summer. I started with blueberry jam, moved on to cherry jelly, and followed that up with salsa. But my favorite — by far — has been dill pickles. Crispy and tangy with a hint of garlic […]

Sugar Plums Dancing in My Head, Ed. #7
Sometimes, I read things that make my head nearly explode. Things like this: “It just seems to me that Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk.” –Rush Limbaugh, on the motivations behind John Edward’s extra-martial affair, during the August 12 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show. But […]
Pasta with Swiss Chard, Raisins & Almonds
On Monday, we received a good portion of Swiss chard in our farm share, which I don’t have very much experience with. So I was happy to find this recipe on Epicurious, adding a bit of pasta to turn it into a main meal based on Epicurious user recommendations. I very much like how healthy […]
Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream: A Daring Baker Challenge
There are a lot of steps in making the Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream — the recipe is almost as long as the name — but it wasn’t an overly difficult cake to make. (Though getting a cake to look beautiful is difficult, and I need a lot more practice before one of my cakes […]

Oven-Roasted Maple Chicken ‘n’ Ribs
Someday, I will learn to photograph meat in a way that does not emulate a retro cookbook. Today is not the day. I can say, however, that the recipe is fantastic. The mingling of cider, maple syrup, cinnamon, and star anise with the chicken and pork ribs is irresistible. While everything roasts, the most delicious […]
Salad Pizza
Shane is a person who can eat salad for dinner. As in, that’s all he eats as his main — some greens tossed with red onions and a few tomatoes, dressed with oil and vinegar and perhaps a few hunks of goat cheese. I am not that kind of person. For me, a salad as […]
