My Best of 2012 list was long and difficult to narrow down. Larry and I had a spirited discussion about what made the cut and what didn’t. At the end, we were left with eleven items that needed to be on our final favorites list. There was a lot of good food last year, though. [...]

I know there’s not that much that’s special about a caesar salad – it’s been done, and it’s not hard to make. And kale salad, it’s the trendiest of trendy right now. I got an inexplicable amount of pleasure out of making the caesar dressing for the salad. It’s pretty standard – garlic, egg yolk, [...]
Thanksgiving isn’t one of those big-deal holidays for us. Actually, we’re pretty low-key for all holidays. My brother usually comes down, and we hang out. The game is on, laptops are out, books are read. I really like it. Even though we don’t have a big-deal Thanksgiving, I still make a fairly traditional meal. Turkey, [...]
Another camping trip, this time with friends. Another first! I was in charge of food, of course. I was nervous about cooking for six of us so I tried to keep it simple and similar to what I knew worked before. I knew I would grill some sort of chicken, thinking it’s the most agreeable [...]
I have a weakness for buttery little tea cookies, and for tea-flavored desserts. When I saw this recipe from Sally Schneider, I knew I wanted to make these – and many of the other variations she describes in this post. The cookie recipe uses my favorite method for making cookie dough – in the food [...]
These cupcakes might look a little odd – especially because I skipped the finishing touch of a white-chocolate-dipped fortune cookie. The green frosting is vibrant, to say the least. And maybe my choice of frosting tip wasn’t the best; the result looks a bit like a pile of Yoda poop. Once you get past the [...]
At the start of 2011, I started tagging some of our favorite recipes of the year. Larry and I sat down today and pared that list down to our favorites. We didn’t have a pre-determined number of items, so we ended up with eight things that were our favorite, and most memorable of the year. [...]
I got it into my head that I wanted to make cocktails for Christmas. I’ve been bookmarking all sorts of cocktail recipes lately, for a couple of reasons. First, mixology is really interesting right now. It’s got a decidedly culinary bent, with many establishments making house-made flavorings, syrups and bitters. And we drinks a lot [...]
Larry and I share a love for eggs. Okay, I’m not that crazy about scrambled or fried, but both of us love hard and soft boiled and poached eggs. And baked eggs. Expecially when the eggs are uber-fresh like these are, out a friend’s flock so you know the hens and how they’re treated and [...]
I bookmarked the recipe for these decadent buns the from the moment I got Flour. I always put it off – brioche takes time, and there are multiple parts, and it just seemed like a lot of work and pre-planning. I thought maybe Thanksgiving weekend would be a good time to try them, but was [...]
