This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is pxl_20220612_220530474.portrait.jpgPaella (“Pa•ā’•ya”).  Let’s all say it.  Now, let’s picture a lovely, warmish afternoon, the sun is shining through the olive trees, as you sip a robust Tempranillo and watch the coals turn white…it’s almost time to put the paella pan on the fire…it’s going to be a lovely afternoon, indeed.  Continue reading →

all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, hot coffee, unsweetened cocoa, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, white sugar

Tea Cup Chocolate CakeIn days past, before measurements were standardized, this is how things were put together.  Every woman had her “special” tea cup, she used just for baking, or not.  This is the way my grandmother made chocolate cake.  And what a cake it is. Continue reading →

Tags

brandy, club soda, fruit, orange liqueur, oranges, Peaches, salt, sugar, white wine

Summer SangriaSangria is a great summer drink.  For some reason, women seem to enjoy it more than men.  The Latin Lover isn’t a fan.  The Goddess is.  This is a fruity, not-too-sweet, white wine version.  It is the perfect summer drink.  It’s time to bring out the pitcher and the glasses.  Continue reading →

Spiced, Braised Pork Shoulder with Roasted PineappleThe Spicy Honey took me to Doce Provisions for my birthday.  It’s a nice little place, with an interesting and delicious menu.  Their “Lechon Asado Buns”, which they serve on bao, were heaven.  They were the inspiration for this, except I put the meat and pineapple on an arepa.  Continue reading →

Portuguese-Style Tuna Steaks with OnionsI usually lean toward an Asian flavor profile when I make tuna steaks.  But, I just wasn’t feeling that today.  After our time in Portugal, I decided to wander in that direction.  More of a meander, really.  The main thing to remember with tuna, is to not over-cook it.  You want it crisp on the outside and very pink on the inside…and very delicious.  Continue reading →

Tomato-Leek & Fennel Soup with Lentils

bay leaves, broth, dry white wine, fennel bulb, fire-roasted tomatoes, Garlic, honey, Leeks, Lentils, olive oil, orange juice, Spices, tomato paste

Tomato-Leek & Fennel Soup with LentilsI like lentils.  Actually, as far as legumes go, I think lentils may be my favorite.  The Latin Lover is, shall we say, less fond of them.  A bad childhood memory.  But I’m trying to convert him.  It’s always good to eradicate a bad childhood food memory and create a new, all-gown-up food memory!  I think this soup may have done it!   Continue reading →

Croatian Braised Beef (Dalmatinska Pašticada)I was reading a blog the other day, and I ran across something called Pašticada.  So, what’s this about?  Not being Croatian, this was new to me, but from what I was reading, this dish is a pretty big deal.  For the non-Croatian palate, this may seem like an odd combination of flavors to use with beef—lemons, nutmeg, cloves, prunes and other dried fruit—all braised slowly in red wine and plum brandy.  Continue reading →
