Right now I can't get enough of peach pies and tarts. I love a good Alabama peach (sorry, Georgia!) and they've been in my CSA box frequently in the past month. I could go for one right now...
I dropped some veggies into too-hot oil and managed to splash my face in several spots. I grabbed a napkin, blotted away the oil and continued chatting with a friend who was over for dinner. It was...
I feel like there's something of a snobby connotation with the word foodie, and THAT is why I don't like it. I'm just more of an enthusiastic eater... certainly not any sort of expert.
I have a tiny apartment (well, tiny by Southern standards, anyway) with a miniscule kitchen, so there's just not much room for a lot of fancy devices. This chopper would be awesome for making salsa...
My laptop died eight months ago--and after eight months without updating my iPod, I FINALLY bought a new laptop yesterday. As I finally, finally, FINALLY get to add 40-some CDs to my iPod (includin...
One of my old houses did, and it was better than no laundry at all... But it was loud and inconvenient, especially if my roommate was doing laundry while I wanted to cook! It was a big kitchen, at ...
One of my go-to recipes is Amanda Hesser's Meyer Lemon Linguine with Creme Fraiche (from Cooking for Mr. Latte). It's stupidly easy and incredibly satisfying.
I found expired cilantro (2005!)... and an unopened jar of cilantro that expires NEXT MONTH. What's even more ridiculous is that I (clearly) never use these--I buy fresh cilantro all the time, and ...
STLcolleen, my cabinets and fridge look empty, too, 'cause it's just me. :) I aim to buy just enough to feed me every trip, but I STILL let too much go to waste...
Speaking of fresh fo...
The owner of my favorite restaurant (here in Alabama!) is nominated in the outstanding chef category. I was thrilled to see his name among chefs from major cities.
domestigeek--thanks! I love my little kitchen. It's tiny, so my big challenge is utilizing the space (you may have noticed I don't actually have a pantry). But it's efficient, and I actually have s...
RebeccaCT, I thought my kitchen was tiny but I think you have me beat! I have very little counter space, also (three small chunks, each about two feet wide, one in a corner) but I have a fantastic ...
Classic Cook, that makes me feel better... I thought I must be doing something wrong.
(I'm excited. I have had a hard time getting OUT of my kitchen lately, and anything I can do to ma...

(Oh, both homemade.)
I'm having leftover herb-encrusted veal in a white wine sauce, and a carrot salad.
mandarinmarie... I actually love fish sticks. (I might be a 5-year-old girl at heart.)
I make muffins pretty much every week, and one of my favorite recipes calls for cloves. That would be an obvious choice for this grinder!
Haha, well, I get the feeling I'll be paying more attention to MSG and high fructose corn syrup after this exercise.
Oh! Oh! I feel so famous... that first picture is mine! (And I still need to run all that stuff down to my aunt, who I live behind!)
