    Kitchen Reno Update


    My tag line has never been so accurate. After two full days of demolition, the support wall is down and the support beam is up (it’s NOT an I-beam after all). The whole area is lighter and brighter, but this new open concept has[...]

    BetterBaking.com Winners and Happy Holidays


    Earlier this week I selected a recipe from The New Best of Better Baking.com by Marcy Goldman. To enter the contest, you were to guess which page this recipe was on. The two closest guesses, without going over, would get a free[...]
  • Recipe Rosemary, Raisin and Pecan Crisps

    Rosemary, Raisin and Pecan Crisps


    I can’t believe I’m about to make these again. The recipe makes a two loaf pans’ worth and the entire batch is almost gone. Bored with plain crackers and still hyperventilating from the sticker price on the artisanal[...]
  • Recipe Green Tomato Marmalade

    Green Tomato Marmalade


    Despite the amber hue of the resulting preserves, this is green tomato marmalade. And no, I didn't use the teeny-tiny yellow tomatoes on the left. They're just there for show. Instead, I used small to mid-sized green tomatoes like the ones[...]

    Two Quick and Easy Apple Recipes


    It's been quite the week. Over the weekend I co-hosted a 24-hour playwriting contest for the playwright development centre I'm involved with. While my co-host and I ensured the entrants never ran out of coffee or junk food, a dozen writers pounded[...]

    Fried Green Tomato Parmesan


    The deed is done. I have picked all the tomatoes, uprooted the plants and put the garden to bed. I'd like to think the tomatoes didn't want to go any more than I wanted to remove them. I had ambitious plans to deal with the garden on Sunday.[...]

    Beginnings and Endings


    I'm sad. Come Monday my tomato plants will be gone. The season is over. Frost is on the way and after one final weekend of harvest, I have to uproot these beauties, clear away any fallen fruit and put the patch to bed for the winter. I know.[...]
  • Recipe Moroccan-Inspired Nectarine and Plum Chicken

    Moroccan-Inspired Nectarine and Plum Chicken


    I wish you could reproduce this recipe exactly as I made it. But you can't. Unless you mess up your preserves like I did. A few weeks ago, I attempted a homemade mixed-fruit ketchup. But I was so busy "multitasking" I missed the small but[...]
  • Recipe Sage and Tomato Soup

    Sage and Tomato Soup


    This blog has ruined me. Forever. Just this week I realized what my family has been accusing me of for years is actually true. I am a food snob. Not the Beluga-Caviar-or-Bust kind of food snob, but a food snob nonetheless. The facts are[...]

    Out Out Damn Spam!


    Thanks to Jill for suggesting I use this video! It sums up how I feel! My apologies to Shakespeare, Monty Python and you. Because of a recent spate of spam comments, I have activated the dreaded word verification[...]
