This is a throw-back to my childhood. On hot summer days (we didn’t have air-condition!), when my mother didn’t want to heat up the kitchen, she would make this in the morning, and put it in the fridge. At dinner time, she would add it to chopped iceberg lettuce, along with thawed frozen peas. It was so very good, at the end of a hot day. Continue reading
I’ve had Banh Mi on my mind recently. At this point, venturing out for a Banh Mi, is foolishly indulgent, no matter how good it is. And these are good! Solution? Make some for the The Latin Lover and me. To that end, a meatloaf seemed like the place to start. This is that meatloaf. 
This little gem of a cake is perfect for breakfast or an afternoon tea (or coffee). It’s moist, actually gets better as it sits, (though it is damn fine the first day, too!), isn’t too sweet, keeps well and is more or less, a one-bowl cake. It is just plain lovely! 
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.

Years ago, when The Goddess was a mere imp, she found a recipe for pears with bleu cheese, all dressed up with a vinaigrette. It was heavenly. This plays off that delicious memory. 
This version of Korma is not traditional. I’ve added eggplant and lemon zest. Feel free to omit both, but hand-to-heart, it won’t be as tasty…and at the Goddess’s abode, we’re all about tasty! This Korma has particularly good Karma. 
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.
