Ain’t He Sweet
Andy was very sweet to me for Christmas. As you can see. There is a picture on my blog!!!!! Yeppers. My sweetie got me my digital camera. I can’t wait to learn everything there is to know about my camera. I am really looking forward to experimenting, and being able […]
As promised…
I promised a recipe for Pierogi, and never returned to share it. Shame on me. I am back to share it now. This is the recipe that Andy’s parents use, and I suspect have for years. The dough is very much like a pasta dough, and vry tough to knead, […]
Merry Christmas!!
Well, this has been a fantastic weekend! I don’t know exactly where to start, but I will attempt somewhat to not write a novel this morning. 🙂 The weekend started for me on friday. Friday was an important day for me. I was to finish up some last minute shopping, […]
The Return of The Truffle…
Today I am returning to my happy place. The land of chocolate. You know the “Nerve Center” on Willie Wonka? The chocolate river, the room full of candy? That is my happy place. After deciding to stop the candy madness going on in my kitchen, I have returned to the […]
I’m finished with the almond roca.
Not funny.Yet another attempt has produced a wierd sugary confection. I can only surmise that this time I undercooked the roca. I found the right pan, found the right burner, but apparently I missed the ball on the right thermometer. And of course, this batch is beautiful from the pan. […]
Time flies…
And just like that it’s been a dew days since I last posted. I’ve been a bit busy. Not quite as I want to be, but busy nonetheless. I’ve made a few things in the kitchen, but nothing super noteworthy…Hmm…I don’t think that’s right, but I’ll get back to that. […]
Christmas goodies…here I come!
Despite having a daughter home from school ill, I had a nice productive day in the kitchen. Tried some new winners and made some classic tried and true recipes. I started by making a batch of Eagle Brand fudge. As much as I love real homemade stirred fudge, I just […]
Progress Today!
You know what I love about the holidays? Thinking about people. Thinking about all the family and friends that I have, and thinking about those who have moved on. It was so exciting to hear from my cousing Joe this morning, that I just got right into the holiday spirit. […]
Foodie Blog Updates
Recently I’ve been expanding my “daily visit time” in the world of Foodie Blogging. It’s kind of fun how you click on one link and then another, and see where you end up. I have found quite a few food blogs that are both enjoyable to read, as well as […]
Interesting fudge…
Hmm… I can’t say that I am in love with the pumpkin walnut fudge I made yesterday. It did turn out well, and it is good. But, well, it has this squashy flavor to it. Mind you, I LOVE squash. I had a huge bowl of plain squash today for […]
All better
I do apologize for the rant earlier today. I was not happy. Fortunately though, I think I have redeemed myself, and things are looking up. My almond roca still isn’t quite right, but at least it is good. It doesn’t quite have that buttery lightness that I associate with the […]
