We inherited my husband's family's china, and use it a lot. We decided a while back that it wouldn't only get hauled out once or twice a year; instead, every dinner party, no matter how small, is ...
I agree with the general sentiment: what's more wonderful than cooking with a friend or relative? But, I disagree that a recipe is simply a formula. It's a starting point from which many differen...
Cheap blue IKEA scissors. They make tackling a giant hugful of, say, Swiss chard so easy. Or, they allow you to get just one hand dirty while cutting up chicken breasts. They are also great for ...
Beautiful post. As I get older, I find myself appreciating autumn more and more. The big party of color and light that we enjoyed for six months should come to an end, so that we can appreciate i...
Nope. (My iPhone does all that--and comes to the store with me, and reminds me when we're running low on something, and has multiple preplanned menus stored in it, and allows me to tweak them duri...

There's an apple crisp in the oven as I type. I'm also going to experiment with a couple of breads.
Oh heck yeah! And then I pass harsh, silent judgement.

I will gladly say goodbye to the quivering cranberry surprise, so I'm glad to see ideas involving other fruit (in less quivering formats).
Forgive the link-to-self, but this sweet potato recipe with blue white potatoes, beets, and sunchokes is too good not to share:
I'm with Napoleon--not a fan!
Black rice and coconut milk--how come I never thought of that? I'm pulling out my pressure cooker right now.
I'm with fib. Wouldn't the shelf have to be quite low in order for you to see what you're getting?

Great idea! I never would have thought of that.
We are repeating the long bean and bell pepper stir fry: http://onepot.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/bean-pepper-stirfry/

Yes, do tell us more about tomatoes in jars. I live in a large metropolitan area and don't think I've ever seen those.
