Rum raisin bread pudding just came out of the oven. Next time? Go easier on the rum. Lol. Butter rum caramel turned out amazing though. What's Cooking This Weekend? Weekend of February 11-12, 2012 |

Okay, I thought that might be the case, but the title was misleading. I was looking for a sweet, late-'30s tiled kitchen! Yiming's Black and White Prewar Kitchen Kitchen Spotlight |

Love it. Tea is underrated in the U.S. and simple snacks like sliced and/or dried fruit, crackers with cheese, and/or cookies are perfect with a pot of hot tea. Tea Time: The Quickest Way To Make a Guest Feel Welcome |

What exactly about this kitchen is "prewar?" If they installed the tile themselves and got all the cabinets and fixtures from IKEA, wouldn't that make it modern? Pre-war to me indicates prior to 1939 (or 1941 for the U.S., if you get technical). Yiming's Black and White Prewar Kitchen Kitchen Spotlight |

I like it! Reminds me of those itty bitty hexagon tiles (which I've heard called "chicken wire floor"). (Almost) Open Shelving: Chicken Wire Kitchen Cabinets Kitchen Inspiration |

Haha. I will be cleaning my own kitchen. I'm "treating" myself to a weekend of cooking. A new job and tons of homework have meant the house has been neglected for the past month or so. On the docket: pastries with rosehip jam, coconut macaroons drizzled with chocolate, rum raisin bread pudding with caramel butter sauce, and if I'm REALLY ambitious, some earl grey madeleines. And mulled wine, if it's still good from New Year's (it's been living in a mason jar in the fridge). 5 Ways to Indulge Yourself in the Kitchen on Valentine's Day |

Ooooh! The boyfriend loves gin & tonics - thanks for the idea for V Day celebrations! Grapefruit and elderflower also sounds delicious, but I will probably substitute IKEA elderflower syrup for the St. Germain, if only because I already have it. For Valentine's Day: The His & Hers Gin and Tonics |

My guess was also gill, which is an old unit of measurement. In today's measurements it equals a half a cup (defined as a quarter of a pint; pint = 2 cups). What Does GL Mean In This Old Recipe? Recipe Questions |

I use cottage cheese in lasagna like Kakugori (Not heresy - I grew up with it that way!), except I rarely make real lasagna and instead use whatever pasta I have on hand for a baked ziti-like dish. Curds & Whey: Cottage Cheese Ingredient Spotlight |

I love making a big pot of pinto and/or black and/or red kidney beans from dried. Then over the course of the week we can have bean tacos with onion and lime, beans and rice with sausage, mash/blend them for refried beans with chips, add vegetables and make bean soup, add tomatoes/salsa and raw chicken and corn and cook in the crockpot until the chicken is tender and serve with chips or cornbread. Brown some ground beef in a pot and add the beans and tomatoes and make chili. Warm the beans and serve on top of lettuce with tomatoes, onion, and cheese. The possibilities are endless.

How is broccolini different from broccoli rabe? Because it looks a lot like broccoli rabe but I'd always heard that was much more bitter/spicier than normal broccoli. Tender & Sweet: Broccolini Vegetable Spotlight |

I grew up eating dinner every night with my whole family, either around the kitchen table or at a restaurant. Now that it's just me and my boyfriend, and we don't have an eat-in kitchen or a separate dining room, we have to eat in the living room, where the TV is. Which means that the TV is on a lot while we eat, but it's off to the side from the table, so that can also be annoying.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned using mustard in homemade cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese! It gives bechamel that extra kick of cheddary sharpness which is especially nice if you're trying to cut back on the cheese or if you just don't have enough lying around. I usually use dijon though, plain yellow. King of Condiments: 5 Ways to Use Mustard in Everyday Cooking |

Barefoot has a wine they're calling Moscato which is NOT fizzy and is sweet, but not too sweet. It tastes like fresh peaches and apricots, actually. Really good. The Exceptional Rise of Moscato Wine Trends 2012 |

Just made green onion potato soup last night. It's just potatoes and chopped green onions boiled in water not quite to cover, mashed IN the water (don't drain), add a little cream cheese, some milk, and a lot of salt and pepper and it's very good. If you leave the skin on the potatoes it sometimes tricks you into thinking you're eating something meatier, because it gives you something to chew on. But you can totally peel the potatoes if you really don't want extra things to chew on. Waxy potatoes work better (and mash up smoother) than mealy ones. I prefer waxy reds. I used local white potatoes (thin-skinned, not russet) last night and the texture wasn't quite the same. Soft, Easy-to-Chew Meal Ideas for a Recovering Patient? Health Questions |
