I’ve been posting a lot at Facebook about my younger son’s love of Banoffee Pie. I made one for Thanksgiving, and there is never even a crumb left over. It is one of the most luscious, decadent pies I’ve ever tasted. Don’t worry if you have not heard of it. My first encounter was [...] This morning’s post to The Lipstick Chronicles. What household jobs or areas are repugnant to you?
I have an old stove—a dull cream model with ancient electric rings and a black front. It’s serviceable, but little more than that. I hate it when the sun comes streaming through my kitchen window and [...] A reader wrote to me recently with these comments: I just finished another of your books and I really enjoy them……In your stories the women drink a variety of teas…..I’d like to find a good breakfast tea to replace coffee in the morning, is there one that you would recommend? So many choices on the [...] My son Ian has a quirky approach to the world. When he twittered that he’d created the best dessert in the world (or words to that effect), I tweeted that I wanted the recipe. This is what I got. Enjoy!
STEP ONE: cut up some bananas and freeze them. Three regular bananas will [...] This morning I was scouring the internet for some new ideas for dishes to experiment with. There are a couple of events coming up and I’ll bring a dish, so it would be fun to try some new things. Saveur always offers something fantastic, and I spent easily an hour wandering through their [...] Just before Christmas, CR surprised me by bringing in a landscape architect to make our yard over into a beautiful urban farm. Perhaps he wants more fresh potatoes like the ones I grew in a black bag last summer. Or maybe he is tired of me complaining about the price of organic produce. Whatever [...] (A recipe from How to Bake a Perfect Life. ) These are actual texts from my sister a few days ago: Feb 5, 2011 7:13 pm Making sunshine fruit and honey bread Feb 6, 2011 12:36 pm OMG OMG OMG. That bread is soooooo good I could prolly eat the whole thing!!! Feb. [...] The Brits get a bad name over food, but I’m here to say there is a lot that’s lovely about British cooking. Saveur Magazine has a feature today on their website about British Pub Food. I receive their emails and clicked right through to find this lovely menu: Welsh Rabbit, which I thought for years [...] One of the ways writers get their books out these days is to guest blog everywhere. It’s actually fairly productive, but it leaves the local blog sadly neglected. As I said before, I will be posting at Lipstick Chronicles twice a month starting in February, and you can catch me there talking about [...] It is a lusciously gloomy morning here in Colorado, and despite the long list of tasks that are calling me (the tamales, the wrapping of gifts, walking the dog), I find myself drawn here, to write. The subject almost doesn’t matter—the desire is simply to be here and put some words on the page, [...] |
