I love lamb. I have always felt that the reason others don’t enjoy it, is because they’ve had over-cooked lamb. Gray-colored meat is all that appetizing to anyone. Admittedly, lamb has a distinct flavor and can be a tad gamey…maybe that’s why I like it so much! Continue reading

I received a jar of delicious mixed nuts for my birthday. The Unbound Reader and Middle Son, we the source of this goodness. These nuts (not the children!) were addictive. I’m certain you noticed that past tense reference. They were crisp, ever so slightly sweet and salty, with a really savory spice flavor. Well, I thought it worthwhile to try and reproduce them in far greater quantity. This is that experiment. Continue reading

Not a very sexy title, is that? I was going to call it “The Tale of Two Coils” but, I decided a straight-forward, actual description was the way to go. So here we are. And it’s a pretty delicious place to be. This is my basic, go to roll dough recipe, but with options! Continue reading

I was flying around the InterWebs and ran across a reference to Apple Fritter Bread, and I thought it sounded wonderful…but that one was a quick bread. I wanted a yeast bread and then I found one. So I took to my handy-dandy roll recipe and made a change here and there, so here we are! This dough is pillowy soft and somewhat sticky, but a dream to work with. I takes a bit longer for it to raise, because it’s both rich and sweet. You know, good things!

As you know, The Goddess loves fruit with savory things. The spices are the “warm” spices—allspice, coriander, smoked paprika. And nectarines. There isn’t much that’s better than a juicy, ripe nectarine, eaten out of hand, with the juices running down your chin. God, I need a cigarette, just thinking about it. This dish combines the sweetness of nectarines, sweet potatoes and juicy chicken thighs seasoned with those “warm” spices, all in one pan. Continue reading

“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye”, so the song goes. It’s the perfect time to make a little corn relish. The zucchini are still bearing, the peppers are starting to bear and the corn…oh God, the corn! It’s so delicious fresh, but it’s nice to have a few jars of corn relish tucked away for later. Continue reading

Spice cake was my father’s favorite cake. My mother had two recipes, a variation on her Sour Cream Cake, which frankly I’ve never had good luck with, and this one. Which I always have very, very good luck with. Continue reading

I always have bottle of this rub/seasoning in my cupboard. With BBQ season just around the corner, this is a must-have. I usually double the recipe, as I go through it quickly. It takes a burger and a steak to a heavenly place. Continue reading

Fish curries don’t seem to be as popular as chicken, lamb or vegetable curries. It’s too bad, because fish curries are really good. This curry uses both fish and shrimp, which work very well together…friendly creatures of the sea, swimming together in a nice tomato-based curry sauce. Continue reading

I had paid a visit to the local Penzey’s, where I encountered the lovely, well-informed and very interesting, Kristen. She recommended their Turkish Seasoning, and I’m so very glad she did…that was the impetus for these lovelies. Continue reading
