  Bad. I know. Gosh. That is almost as bad, or maybe it is worse than the pun I used on Kettle and Cup. Sorry. Well…ahem… O.k..that picture is more of my Anchor Hocking Moonstone collection, circa 1941-1946.  Just wanted to share. Like it? First, we are about to head into a new month and so there are ...

Cheese and Onion Biscuits
2008-04-25 18:27:00
Cheese and onion biscuits are, to me, the perfect accompaniment to cream based soups. I especially like them with potato soup and clam chowder. Marc, being from Massachusetts, is very keen on clam chowder. In fact, it is almost his number one comfort food. I do try to make it often. My recipe ...

Cooking With Kids:Chocolate Bouchons
2008-04-23 13:59:00
If you will recall, Chef Kyrie and I had picked up the Ratatouille Cookbook a few weeks ago and just had not had a chance to make anything from it. Well, until now. We gathered our forces: (Those are my youngest three children;Sean 9, Nick7, and Kyrie4..and my grandchildren Amanda 6 and Gabe 4. Lots of help as you can imagine.) And proceeded to mix, stir, melt, and measure. Please note the sugar spilling over the side of the bowl. :/ The batter is very liquid, although I would not call it thin..and the kids had a great time licking fingers and waiting for the “lickers and the bowl” to be done. Being a nice mom I used numerous spoons so that everyone had something to lick. When you cook with your kids give everyone a job. Messes can be cleaned up later but the time spent with your kids can’t. Trust me. My oldest is 26..and sometimes I wonder how she got to be that age, having kids of her own! It seems like the chaos will never be over..until it is. Well, ...

One thing everyone who knows me knows without a doubt..I love chocolate. I like it melted, in cakes, in brownies, cookies, ice cream, and pie..mousse, souffle, terrine, and truffles.

I had some leftover key lime juice from the key lime and strawberry pie that I made and I wanted to use it up. It is not cheap stuff, and besides that, it is too good to let it go bad. Sounds like a country song title, doesn’t it? Anyway…made these for breakfast the ...

  These cookies, well the original, have quite a following. They are available only in the Baltimore area or by mail, and the recipe seems to be a closely guarded secret. Others have tried to come close but it just doesn’t ever seem to be quite right. These are intensely vanilla, soft and cakey, moist, ...

Swedish Limpa:Rye Bread with Style
2008-04-10 01:33:00
  Baking with rye flour is challenging because of the lack of gluten in the flour. It is never going to rise and be light the way that white flour does, but really, isn’t that part of the charm? The texture of this bread is really good, and the orange and anise enhances the rye flavor. ...
