bring out the spice
Posted in the ones about cooking on October 1, 2008 | 11 Comments »
I love to cook. I don’t love to knock over every jar in my cupboard to shake out a little rosemary and thyme. And I am slight of stature, which make it difficult to see in the back spaces of upper cabinets. For years, I tried different spice organization tips. I tried the stair-step tray. [...]
what’s for dinner???

Today is Works-For-Me-Wednesday in reverse, which translates into Works-For-YOU-Wednesday. Menu planning. How do you do it? Seriously, I want to know. This is a project that I have been wanting to tackle for weeks, but I’m not sure which way to go about it. I have seasons of menu planning, but I’ve never found a [...]
it’s the pits

Have you ever crunched your teeth on a unwanted pit while enjoying a piece of a cherry pie? Or worse, have you ever tried to remove a pit from a cherry with only a knife and your fingers. Your fingers look bloodied without so much as a scratch and the cherry looks like it’s been [...]
i cannot tell a lie

If you thought I was kidding about making a cherry pie, then you must be new here. Our Depression Era status coincided perfectly with my mother-in-law’s birthday. Wait, no, that came out wrong. It wasn’t supposed to be a jab at my mother-in-law’s age. I was trying to say that Penny loves cherry pie, so [...]

On Wednesday I spied a bounty of bright fuchsia at SuperTarget. And since my mind was still simmering in a world of soup, I was reminded of this delectable strawberry soup that I had enjoyed at a tea house last summer. I immediately thought that a sweet strawberry soup would be the perfect summation of [...]
comfort, thy name is soup

Despite all the pots of steamy soup brewing around here, it is still Ugg-weather. According to Fox News the current temperature is “0″. Not a lot of comfort in “0.” As I was driving my frosty-breath preschooler to her class this morning, she looked at her window at the frozen world and asked, “Mama, why [...]
soup stand-in

Last night, Ava and I shredded, sliced, and stirred our way through another soup for you. Hoping to appeal to the non-soup eaters, we had made soup for the steak-knife. A hearty barley-beef soup with plenty of vegetables. After putting the Sous Chef to bed, I pulled out my laptop and filled the screen with [...]

Today we are going to pay soup homage to my hometown, but before we start mincing up jalapenos let me share of few soup tips and answer your questions. First, I just have to say that I’m so thrilled to hear how much you love soup. I feel like I’m blogging among kindred spirits. And [...]
serving it up hot!

It is not a secret that I love soup. It’s true. I do. I love the savory steam rising up to greet my face. I love the medley of flavors and the blend of textures in each spoonful. I love how it warms me straight through. I love the satisfying feeling of an empty bowl [...]
