Miss Figgy emerges from winter storage
Remember Miss Figgy? When you last saw her, it was July and she looked like this. It's too cold here for figs to survive winter, so Miss Figgy spent the winter in the garage. In November we put her in the back corner of the garage and I didn't pay any attention to her until Saturday when I took a... Read more...

I know that it's too early, but I just had to
This winter was exceptionally long. The snow started in November and it snowed and snowed and snowed and the temperature never rose enough for the snow to melt between storms. Our yard has been snow-free for about 2 weeks. Two glorious weeks! Last night we went to Home Depot to buy some... Read more...

What, no shallots in the house?
I just read about these Caramelized Shallots on the Smitten Kitchen blog. I want to dive into this dish. Right now. Damn, I don't have any shallots in the house. Not a one. Last week I had a pile of shallots. Why did I use them all? Why don't I have an emergency shallot supply? Read more...

It's been a long time since I posted about my AeroGarden. I'm using the Master Gardener kit to grow Italian basil, Thai basil, cilantro, and parsley. The Master Gardener kit has everything that you need to create your seed pods using your own seeds. I planted these on January 12. Read more...

Crispy Potato Cakes Revisited
Back in September, I posted this recipe for Crispy Potato Cakes. This is an updated version of that recipe. The original recipe called for grating potatoes, soaking them in water, squeezing them dry, then mixing with cornstarch, green onions, and seasoning. I've done some Cooks Illustrated-style...

Hit of the Day: Sweet Orange Salmon
Of the dishes that I made today, my favorite was Sweet Orange Salmon. The salmon is rubbed with a mixture of brown sugar, chili powder, orange zest, cumin, paprika, coriander, and black pepper. I let the salmon "marinate" with the rub for 30 minutes before broiling it. The sweet and spicy rub... Read more...

A Day in the Life ...
Have you ever wondered what my work days are like? Here's a diary of a recent cook date. I start smiling as soon as I opened my car door. In spite of the house being all buttoned up, I can hear Poe, my client's bird, singing up a storm. As soon as he hears the car pull in the driveway, he... Read more...

My New Go-To Shrimp Cocktail
Fine Cooking does it again with a scrumptious recipe for shrimp cocktail. Every time I've made this Garlic-Roasted Shrimp Cocktail, it's been gobbled up and I've had requests for the recipe. While it's tempting to start with precooked shrimp for shrimp cocktail, if you do, you'll save some time,... Read more...

Happy Valentine's Day
For the past few years, our Valentine's Day dinner has included heart-shaped biscuits. This year I decided to branch out to heart shaped cornbread. Cornbread goes perfectly with Spicy Chicken Cutlets, which Tom and I both love and I haven't made for a long time. And coleslaw. All easy enough to... Read more...

In December, I stumbled on Karina-s Kitchen. I was looking for some new recipes for my gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free clients. Two clients had requested some treats for the holidays. I was bored with my standard treats that fit the bill and wanted to find something new. Karina's blog was... Read more...

Today's Experiment was Saffron Biscuits
Today's menu included a pressure cooker version of this Middle Eastern Slow-Cooked Stew with Lamb, Chickpeas, and Figs. Normally I would pair this with couscous, but today's client prefers not to have grain or pasta side dishes. But they love biscuits, so I decided to pair it with saffron... Read more...
