It wouldn’t be the holidays without lots of buttery goodness, would it? I’ve posted a recipe for shortbread that seems to work perfectly, every time, no matter how much I abuse the dough before cooking it. It’s that time of year . . .

OT: Deviled Seafood Casserole
Posted in food, tagged food, seaffood casserole on March 19, 2010 | 8 Comments »
I’m a huge fan of hot dishes, or pretty much anything that can be mostly done ahead of time, and finished up in the oven or on a grill. This is a variation of a recipe from The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook. Like anything from Paula Deen, the original recipe called for a […]

I decided on spice cake for the birthday cake, with caramel frosting. I pretty much suck at cake decorating, but sprinkling chopped walnuts on top, and piping out little blobs of cream cheese icing for decoration covers a multitude of sins. The frosting recipe was straight out of the Betty Crocker cookbook, but I improvised […]
OT: Two Recipes

I’m finally catching up on my food blog, after that weeklong service outage. Still need to post the recipe and photos for Sally Lunn, but I do have a couple of entries posted, complete with pictures. One is for hot pepper jelly; the other is for crisp toffee bars. The hot pepper jelly is really […]
Darn Tomatoes

We’ve got six plants of full-sized tomatoes. They have thus far escaped the tomato blight epidemic that’s been plaguing commercial growers in the NE. Two of ours are bush varieties, which stay compact, but the other four need more support than stakes can provide. I’ll have to get cages for them next year. What irks […]
Garden Harvest

This time of year, harvesting the fruits and veggies is a daily task. I went out at 8 am, to do harvest duty. I got a few peppers (yellow banana, and cayenne), two eggplants, a handful of cherry tomatoes, and another handful of Kentucky Wonder green beans. Many more peppers can be picked any time […]
I come from one of the only two states in the nation in which it’s illegal to pump your own gas. I didn’t know about the little switch on the gas pump handle that makes it hold there to a faster or slower pump rate. Pre-paying for gas was a foreign concept to me. It […]
Kiss My Food

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my food blog. I did so today, complete with pictures. For anyone who’s interested, my latest food blog entry can be found here. It deals with my basic food philosophy, which is “unless you’re entertaining company, keep it simple, stupid,” but contains no recipies. I could probably give […]

I Got It!

The wild sockeye, that is . . . a whole fileted side of fish for $20. Advertised in the circular for $15 or so a pound, I thought it was a pretty good deal. When I got there, the per pound price was around $12, and there wasn’t much of it left. There were a […]
