A new cupcake place just opened in N. Austin and their business is booming. I rarely spend money on lattes or little splurges, but almost weekly I find myself cobbling together $2.50 for a strawber...
We have the Grundtal and love it. I think it even folds up for extra room but we always leave it down. We purchased an extra long bar to hang it on and picked up some cup hooks to go on that extra ...
They told me at Central Market here in Austin that for bulk items you're not supposed to bring your own bags or reuse bags as per health code stipulations. I still do it covertly, but was just wond...
I've been informed that for store bulk sections (including honey and nut butter "bars") that customers aren't allowed to bring their own containers or reuse containers for health reasons. Maybe thi...
I made your Zucchini Garlic Soup this week since zucchinis have started popping up at the Farmer's Market. This is probably one of my favorite dishes and I look forward to eating it all summer long...
Rebate checks are coming out soon. I hope some readers here think about donating money to their local food pantry. It didn't occur to me until a friend mentioned it, but what a good cause.
We recently bought the large red version for about the same price and love it. One caveat, the handle is plastic, so for high-heat cooking (no-knead bread for instance) I just unscrew it and stuff ...
Ours is open 9-1 and I rarely go after 10:00 (I went once near noon and pickings were slim). The flowers wilt in the Texas heat after a couple hours, and I like getting the choice picks at the vegg...
Confession time: I love cheese but have absolutely no idea how to serve it or eat it politely in front of other people (not sure the gobs of brie I spread on baguette wouldn’t be ...
Derby pie is too rich for me. Though perhaps it's sour grapes - I once made a great pie that was upstaged by a Derby pie at a dinner party. Like the prom queen competing again Miss America...
Love the C&Z blog and I will look at the new book before I go back to Paris. I also apparently need to knit some fingerless mittens so I can stay warm and have my macaroons. Great idea!
SisterRae, I don't think your budget is way off. I buy cage-free eggs at about $2.50/dozen but at the farmer's market they're about $4/doz, and my organic milk is about $4/gallon now. I think all i...

The clean-up aslect alone makes me shudder.

This sounds great (the bread and spread alone for me, I'm not a prosciutto fan) but I have to say I've never, ever experienced "asparagus fatigue."
Oh my goodness, my husband looked at me like I was crazy the other day for eating dark chocolate with my tortilla chips. Vindication!
I just bought a Sharpie to label all my bags of soup and containers of leftovers for the freezer, don't know how I lived without one for so long.

Ginger scones fresh from the farmer's market. Nothing like indulging in fresh baked goods after a long saturday morning run.

I've never bought the little cloth bags, I use a tea ball that I just rinse out and reuse.
Thanks cheesemonger! I was wondering if it was more of a "wine pairing" style rather than a "cram everything precariously on a cracker" style.
