I’m sure I wasn’t the only kid way back when who thought coffee cake must be gross, because coffee itself was gross – so anything that (presumably) had coffee in it must be uber-gross.
I don’t remember exactly how it went down, but I must have been relieved when I learned the name had more to do with what the cake should accompany than what’s actually in it. [...]
I think I revealed just how panzanella crazy I am when I raved about the stuff last month. Panzanella, for the uninitiated, is an Italian bread salad. “Bread salad” is not nearly as soggy as it might sound, by the way. Think delicious croutons in overdrive, combined with a bunch of other yummy stuff – pretty much pure non-soggy nirvana in a bowl. And it’s so easy to throw together. [...]
This blog has a little slider thing on the homepage, and today I decided to use it for a few days. Did you see it? Kinda nifty, right?!
Since the redesign, I’ve been torn on activating the [...]
It’s frickin’ hot here in Seattle right now. I know that for some, temps into the mid-90s is small potatoes. But for us tender Pacific Northwest folk, 95 is nothing to sneeze at. Especially because most of us around [...]
A story like Eat, Pray, Love is right up my alley. I was enthralled and inspired when I read the story this past February, and a little gaga again after seeing the movie just a few hours ago. A strong, independent woman who has the courage not only to open her eyes and see that [...]
I like posh hotels. Luxurious numbers with 800 thread count sheets and big deep white jacuzzi tubs. I like them a lot. But you know what I’ve decided? As wonderful as an expensive hotel can be, camping in an RV is a great way to get a little closer to the local world around you, [...]
When we go camping, I like to keep the meals good, but super simple and super easy.
Clarification, before I continue: By “camping,” I mean hauling our travel trailer somewhere and hooking up to electric and water, and then using the fairly decent, but tiny trailer-sized kitchen with a gas stove, little oven, a double sink and even a microwave. So yeah, even though we’re not really roughing it per se, simplicity is still key. [...]
There’s a well-known new book out there called The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. The premise? The narrator, when eating a dish, can detect the emotions of the person who prepared the dish.
Weird.
I haven’t read it, so I can’t really say much more about it. But since I heard about it, I’ve idly wondered what would pop up when people eat my food. Would people take a bite and [...]
First thing in the morning, I made my way through our musty, dated, dog-friendly motel room and wrestled open the behemoth sliding glass door. I stepped outside, greeted by waves of green and gold grass stretching all the way out to the beach. Beyond that, the ocean. I couldn’t see it, but I could hear it. And I could smell it. I closed my eyes and breathed in the misty, salty-fresh air, and let it erase the memories of the harrowing drive here to Long Beach, Washington the night before. [...]
Usually my blog stories start with a silly anecdote or, you know, borderline-insane ramblings. Today, though, I’m drawing a blank. Which is sort of disconcerting. But I guess there’s nothing wrong with just getting to the point now and then, eh? Which actually really fits for the dish I’m sharing today – it’s simple, straightforward, no-muss-no-fuss. With just six ingredients [...]
