Well, I’m thrilled to report that several of you rose to the challenge quite admirably! The asparagus recipes flowed in all month, […]

Flash in the Pan: Caramelized Onion Gravy

Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] […]
Shaved Asparagus Salad and Lemon Poppyseed Bars
[Raw Frosted Lemon-Poppyseed Bars–heavenly!] Whew–where has the last week gone? Between end-of-term marking and a long holiday weekend, it’s been pretty busy here in the DDD household. I hope you all enjoyed a stellar Passover and/or Easter holiday! This year, the HH and I celebrated both holidays, first with friends (we were invited to two seders this year) and […]
Mock Chopped Liver plus Recipes for Easter and Passover
Today marks only a few days before the start of Passover, and Easter is right around the next corner–it’s time to cook for the holidays! Since the HH and I are invited to a friend’s house for a seder this year (and since her niece is a vegetarian), I decided to bring a dish that normally […]

Memories of Canadian Beef*
*Or, This Is Not a President’s Choice Product** *Or, See How Much I Want to Attend Eat, Write, Retreat ? [Voilà–homemade, veggie-based “beef” jerky. Well, it looks like beef. . . ] The other day, I was bemoaning the fact that there are a bunch of cool blogger conferences coming up this spring—none of which I’m attending. […]
SOS Adzuki Beans: The Roundup
Here it is again, the start of another month. That means it is also the end of another SOS Kitchen Challenge (and I’m not foolin’!). 😉 In March, Kim and I featured none other than the delicious and nutritious adzuki bean. Our readers were inspired by both the sweet and savory possibilities, and delivered a multitude of […]
Potato Boats with "Sour Cream" and Herbs
The expression, “it’s complicated” is often enough to make the blood drain from my face and my forehead break out in a cold sweat. For example: Scene One: Ricki and her then-boyfriend, Rocker Guy (he of the black leather pants) at Rocker Guy’s apartment, shortly after Ricki stumbles upon RG sitting a little too close to […]
