Tonight: roasted chicken with broccoli (lots of lemon to brighten it), and my boyfriend's brownies are due from the oven any moment now. Tomorrow: beef stroganoff for my parents. Sunday: lasagna. W...
I recommend finding a wine shop close to home and getting to know the owner and any staff. Join the club. Your local business will appreciate your investment, treat you well, and you'll get to know...
I really like the Zuni method, and also enjoy stuffing the bird with citrus of any kind. I've made the "with milk" method three times, and while it's OK and very simple, it doesn't make my heart sing.
I'm not as compulsive as when I taught middle school. Then, to make sure I rotated my ties and didn't wear the same blue shirt three days out of five, I kept a list of what I wore, on which days of...
For something akin to a snack, I cooked a bag of fresh cranberries, cooked them with a little water, stirred in a bit of sugar, and then served with Greek yogurt. It's delicious, time for more!
I hear you, Tyler. Whereas I once slept in a bedroom with orange balls, entertained guests in rooms painted turquoise and bright yellow, studied and read in a periwinkle space -- now the background...
Friends are coming over for lunch in a few minutes. I made a cranberry upside down cake (Alice Water's recipe), and my partner made a bacon-onion quiche (Mark Bittman's recipe). Time now to toss so...
My partner uses a table with mosaic top designed by a friend as his night stand. I don't use one. I keep my glasses on a nearby table, and only read in bed if he's not home. 99% of the time I use t...
I think the key is to contact the host and let them know of the situation. Offering to bring something that can be served in the same manner as other dishes is generous.
I've spent four years on Lovejoy, in a neighborhood that is full of names including Flanders (the neighbor), Quimby (the mayor), Kearney (the bully)...you get the picture. We are proud to be the "L...
I loved that the JoC included preparation for squirrel, until roughly 1990. It was the first cookbook I purchased, in 1983, and I learned much from Irma and Marion about technique. Eventually I sto...

Nothing says cozy like a cubby!

The flow makes sense to me. The result is amazing----colors are fresh, vignettes are exciting, there's nothing I'd change.
Fantastic. Great play between the light and the beautiful mid-century pieces.
Share it. You don't need to eat it all: give it away.

Steve's Cheese in Portland (it's in the back of Square Deal Wine) has some great cheeses, as does City Market.
