The Original Slow Cooker: Review of 150 Best Tagine Recipes
[Hearty, slurpy, stick-to-your-ribs Lentil and Almond Tagine] Up until last month, the only tagine I had ever eaten were this one ** or one at a small Middle Eastern restaurant that the HH and I went to in the early days of our relationship. But then I was contacted by the lovely Martine from Robert […]
Pizza Party with Old (and New) Friends
[Sushi pizza, in its just-unmolded glory.] You know, sometimes I wish I had a bunch of posts pre-scheduled for this site.

Habit-Forming Raw Nori Rolls with “Salmon” Filling and Spicy Ginger-Miso Paste
Dogs really are creatures of habit, aren’t they? I mean, every morning at precisely 7:02 AM (about 1-1/2 minutes after the HH slams off his alarm), Chaser bounds into our bedroom and lays a wet sloppy one on the HH’s ear (translation: “Dad, it’s time to get up! Get up, Dad, we need to go […]
Lucky Comestible 6 (1): Roasted Red Pepper and Apple Dip
[I thought it would be fun to run a little series over here at DDD: I’ll profile one one of my favorite foods, or a food that I’ve recently discovered and enjoyed, over several days. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky comestible. This is the first entry on apples.] […]
