Anyone who has ever picked up a Thai cookbook will know what they say: that store-bought Thai green curry paste is but a shadow of the real thing. Blah blah blah. I’ve been a green curry fan since sometime in college when I first ate at Sawatdee in Minneapolis with my then-boyfriend Jim — [...] 
In a rare turn of events, I decided to try a recipe out before the big day. Most people do that, I know. But I’m one to just throw caution to the wind. I’m not hosting Thanksgiving this year, but I am making bread, veggies and… I’m still not sure of the last thing. I [...] 
Garden Tomatoes. Can you ever have too many? Yes and no, is what I say. Yes, if you are buried under mounds of work and untended-to yard and garden chores. No, if you have all the time in the world. Like my kids seem to have… nevermind. I am told it is a bad [...] 
That is the question. A question, I hope, that I have answered, since we are now actively eating them. No one has died. No one has even gotten a stomach ache. So, hopefully we’ve ruled out botulism. I’m sure that inspires you not. But, who knows. You sit here reading this blog, don’t you? [...] 
(Insanity as in asparagus.) As I was working in the garden this weekend — Â planting almost the remainder of the seeds — it occurred to me that the date was June 5th. Or 6th. I’m still not sure of the date because Charlie was using my watch this weekend to referee a soccer game [...] 
Like the kind you remember from when you were a kid When I go out now, I like to order fresh spring rolls or vietnamese style egg rolls. Because, is it me, or does it seem like when you order regular old egg rolls these days, they aren’t as good as they used to [...] 
It’s pretty obvious: Morgan has embraced The Kid’s Cook Monday thing more than her sibling. But that’s OK, right? As long as I get him in the rotation every other time or so? Honestly, I just don’t have the energy to argue. If Morgan, who lives vicariously through thepioneerwoman.com, wants to make Chicken Fried [...] 
It’s not often that I post a retraction to a previous post. However, that little bit about the cats walking on my bread dough… I think I would have gotten away with it if Jane hadn’t tattled on me. I will admit that I included it for the thrill of a cheap laugh. That isn’t [...] 
I probably should have researched the whole thing a bit more before so casually tossing it out there. “Oh, I was going to make you the Bon Appetit Ribbon cake… But if you want Baker’s Square, that’s OK too.” Seriously. That is exactly how it went down. Seriously. I could have gone to the [...] 
OK, so at the risk of becoming a cliché, I take on another Monday Campaign as an entire-family “New Year’s Resolution.” However, this year, I resolve to not be psychotic in my resolve. Does that make sense? I loved Meatless Mondays. And — for the most part — I’d say it was a success. [...] |
