Remember when I made my own Worcestershire sauce? If not, the post is right here. In it, I said that I would take a picture each week and let you determine whether or not it changed. Pictures will follow, but I want to preemptively alert you to the fact that they are B-O-R-I-N-G. They all look the [...]

Applesauce, sans porkchops
Posted in food, tagged applesauce, homemade on November 5, 2009 | 5 Comments »
A few weeks ago, some friends and I went apple picking. I picked THE HELL out of some of the fruit heavy trees. Like, I picked 13 pounds of apples. More apples than anyone else picked. At home, we ate a lot of them; I made a pie, I made some pork chop dish and [...]
Making Worcestershire Sauce – 1876 style
Posted in food, tagged 1876, new york times magazine, worcestershire sauce on November 2, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The New York Times Magazine is my favorite part of the Sunday Paper. It is all mine and I can take all week to read it. No one else is dying to grab it from my (always) cold hands and I can wrinkle and crinkle it all I want with no care. After The Ethicist, [...]
Butter to make you go mmmm mmmm
Posted in food, tagged butter, homemade on September 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I finished my practicals at school for my last class this semester and the last class for my baking certificate program (yay!); Advanced Baking and Pastry. In a two day period, I made the following: two loaves of honey challah, two baguettes, 18 croissants, pate choux with pastry cream, and a nasty semifreddo with a [...]
Making Ricotta Cheese
Posted in food, tagged cheese, homemade, ricotta on September 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m serious. I MADE cheese. At home. By myself. AND it did not require ANY special tools or supplies. In fact, YOU can make ricotta cheese at home. I got the idea/recipe/directions from The Heavy Table. That in combination with having a guest over for dinner propelled me (in my vast amounts of free time) [...]
Blueberry Sorbet
Posted in food, tagged blueberry, fruit, sorbet on August 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With an ice cream maker, making ice cream or sorbet is a snap! Blueberries were on sale so I bought 3 pints and ran them through our food processor with 3/4 cup of sugar and about two tablespoons of lime juice. After cooling this concoction in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, I ran [...]
purple potato eater
Posted in food, tagged communist, peruvian purple potatoes, potato soup on September 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Our CSA box has been full of potatoes recently. Not the Russet ones that made Idaho so popular in industrial farming. Instead, I have reached into the box to pull out oblong, and pebble sized Peruvian Purple potatoes. If anything, they are beautiful to look at as soon as one washes off all of the [...]
Le Gault Breakfast Buffet: not a continental excursion
Posted in food, tagged breakfast, buffet, le gault, montreal on August 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
David more than outdid himself on choosing places to stay on our week-long vacation to Quebec. Our first two nights we stayed at the chic boutique Le Gault Hotel located in the old city (and once featured in Gourmet magazine circa 2006). I could go on, but unfortunately, this blog is not about hotels, lodgings, [...]
summertime watermelon salad
Posted in food, tagged feta cheese, red wine vinegar, summer salad, summer zuke, watermelon on July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In the dog days of summer, and having had my oven on all last week, I didn’t want to invest too much time in preparing my lunches for the week. As I was looking around Amateur Gourmet, I came across his beautiful watermelon salad that was originally written about back in 2005, but newly discovered to me. I [...]
curing your own salmon at home: gravlax
Posted in food, tagged cured salmon, dill, gravlax, texture on July 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
David had Andy and Kim over for dinner last weekend where we grilled salmon, asparagus and had fingerling potatoes with a lime butter sauce that will knock your socks off. In buying the salmon, we purchased an extra half pound so we could hoard it to ourselves and cure it (gravlax) at home as Luscious [...]
