I made an apple pie with a sharp cheddar and black pepper crust that was amazing.

Note about the Coconut & Lime Balsamic Onion jam--I didn't and wouldn't use sweet onions in this jam. I made it with regular yellow onions. Sweet onions are just too sweet for this recipe.

How big are these onions? Using them every day and yet only going through one a week doesn't quite add up to me. We're only 2 people and I'd say we go through 5-7 onions on an average week and it i...

Foil does keep celery really crisp for weeks. Also, cutting up carrots and celery and keeping them (refrigerated) in a bowl of water keeps them really crisp and is handy.

Try microwaving it in a microwaveable container with a vented lid (Tupperware makes some) and it stays pretty moist.

The form seems to be missing. I will email you my submission, I hope that okay!

cucumber-chile popsicles!

It is okay but I prefer papalo which is similar.

I am on twitter and 99% of my Twitter friends are food bloggers/writers so it is pretty much all about food!

Looks like a paw paw to me!

It reminds me of a pot in a black and white movie: so flat and grey . It would be fun in a high concept black and white kitchen, but a little blah for my bright house.

We bought a Weber Gold this year and love it. We've used it several times a week since the end of May! I've even started posting a recipe for the grill every Friday on my blog and it is a great exc...

Rare for me, I'm making something I've made before: http://coconutlime.blogspot.com/2008/04/smoky-mango-pulled-pork.ht...
