Whether you celebrate today or not, hope you enjoy the day and some time to relax with friends and family! Wishing you all a day filled with love, happiness, laughter and healthy eating (okay, maybe a leeeetle non-healthy eating) 😉 “Mum, we can’t wait to spend time with family. . . we get lots of […]

Hazelnut Melting Moments
Whew! Well, it took me a little longer to get to this post than anticipated. But I’m happy to report that my stack of exams has all been marked, the final grades submitted, and all that remains of this semester are a few meetings next week. And then: par-tay! Come to think of it, I already hosted my […]
Flash in the Pan/Gastronomic Gift: Brazil-Nut Cilantro Pesto
[Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] For some […]
A Matcha Made in Heaven*: Chocolate and Green Tea Truffles for Everyone (and More!)
* Sorry, couldn’t resist. Please feel free to groan. [A cuppa matcha, pure and straightforward. . . a warm, comforting, health-boosting sip to enjoy daily!] You know, sometimes I actually forget it’s the 21st Century. After all, I’ve spent more of my life before 2000 than since. Yet there’s no doubt that we’ve already lost […]
Reprise: Last Minute Thanksgiving Ideas
For those of you celebrating this weekend, Happy Thanksgiving! I wasn’t going to post a list of Thanksgiving recipes this year since there are so many I wouldn’t be able to enjoy (never-ending ACD, and all)–but then I thought, why should the REST of you suffer starve miss out? And so, I’m re-posting my recipe […]
Lucky Comestible 6(4): Potato Terrine with Apples and “Goat Cheese”
[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 fourth entry on […]

My Mother’s Vegetable-Bread Kugel
Most of us are familiar with George Bernard Shaw’s dictum, “Youth is wasted on the young.” Well, of course I realized that saying was just a bunch of bunk. . . until I hit 40, that is. At that point, I realized, “Oh, woe, why did I waste my youth on being young??” There’s no denying we live […]
