After I made the Tomato Jam the other day, I got to thinking. You would think this is a good thing and for others, I highly recommend it. But, for The Goddess, it usually means she’s about to get into trouble. This turned out to be good trouble. Continue reading

White Flower Farm near Litchfield, CT, had their Tomato Event. It was a beautiful day, spent communing with nature and the truly beautiful, The Orchid Mother. They offered lunch and other goodies, so we dined al fresco on Fried Green Tomato Tacos. The tomato jam was one of the “other” goodies. Continue reading

Garlic, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, Spices, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, yogurt
This is my version of “special sauce”. It’s great on burgers, steamed or roasted veggies, potatoes (yeah, I know they are veggies, too), roast beef and Reuben sandwiches, too. It’s a great dip, too. Continue reading

When The Progeny return from their far-flung places, The Goddess likes to try to prepare the foods they feel are special. The Eldest One arrives tomorrow, and I must say, tapioca pudding is high on his list of favorites… Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year! This is a great gift from the kitchen, though admittedly The Goddess has been know to plan to give this away, and it never quite makes it out of the kitchen. So she’s sharing the recipe with you, just in case you don’t receive a jar, now you can make it yourself. Continue reading

Posted in Comfort Food, Pie
There’s something about pies and men…well women, too. From time to time we have folks over for dinner and when The Goddess decides it will be pie for dessert, she’s always bemused by the reaction people (read “men” here!) have. They get sort of glassy-eyed, perhaps a tear forms and then they get this satisfied grin, “There’s going to be pie for dessert….” Continue reading

You realize that The Goddess thinks about food and food preparation all the time. It’s sort of an obsession. She’s not normal, I tell ya’. She’s always pondering about the “what if’s” and the “why for’s”, the culinary road less, or not at all traveled! Recently, Chinese food has been on her mind; she was thinking about Kung Pao Chicken. That’s what prompted this culinary adventure. Continue reading

I mentioned yesterday that The Youngest One brought some Hunter’s Sausage from Vermont. I made Grilled Potato Salad, and grilled cauliflower, but he loves cole slaw. He is particularly fond of the Sweet Mustard Summer Slaw, I’ve been making over the…wait for it…SUMMER! Continue reading
