Feast of the Rutabaga
For the last 15 years or so my husband and I have celebrated the feast of the rutabaga. It is essentially a long running gag based on the fact that once upon a time I had never cooked rutabaga and my husband had never even seen one, but really liked the sound of the word. […]

It says something about the state of my life that most of the posts I have managed to post, have to do with food. I may not have time to craft, but at least I’m still putting dinner on the table. That’s something I guess. We just got back from a five day family reunion, […]
Read more "Variations on an Old Theme and A New Winner"Cream of “fill in the vegetable” Soup Strikes Again!
I love soup. It’s one of those things you can make as a vegetarian and no one feels like they’re missing out. It’s also now closely associated with warm the companionship of friends. My husband’s family, growing up, was a military family, which frequently meant being away from family at the holidays. Since there were […]

So the last few posts have been about my photography project for my mother’s cookbook. But that is a recent project. One that I have been working on for much longer is compiling a collection of medieval vegetarian recipes as a resource for SCA cooks. So far I have mostly been fishing them out of […]

Ok, I admit it: I’m a one pot cook. Oh, I can do 12 dish feasts for many people, but when I’m at home, I don’t. There are so many excellent dishes out there that give you a relatively complete meal in one pot or one pan, and for your average night, it saves time […]

So, I’ve begun work on another project. (Like I needed another one, right?) Several years ago, my mother put together a collection of her favorite recipes. She called it Legacy, and had copies printed up for my brother and myself. The first thing that you need to understand is that my mother has mad skills […]

I love living in Virginia at this time of year. Growing up in south Texas, just about the only food items that grew “wild” were pecans and cactus, and contrary to the imaginings of Hollywood, prickly pear aren’t all that common in San Antonio. (I also don’t think they’re particularity tasty.) Around here, in addition […]

Sometimes life doesn’t go your way, and sometimes, when you think life isn’t going your way, you find out you were wrong. Like this week: I had planned to make red lentils, and because I bought a huge bag of quinoa from Costco, and I need to find more ways to eat it, I decide […]

I had a number of projects filling up my camera waiting to be worked up, so here they are. Over the holiday I had some time to get the family involved in the kitchen. My son has always enjoyed helping in the kitchen but my daughter has recently shown an increased interest as well. This […]
