The past couple of weeks have been beyond hectic here at the DDD household, what with a surprise party (at my place) for my office mate; a wedding shower (no, not mine–okay, breathe normally now); two new courses to prepare for my return to teaching next week (what?? Seriously, is my vacation over already?); and some […]

April 14, 2010 by 31 Comments
[Update, April 15, 2010: Did you know that Ellen Degeneres has read my cookbook?? Waaa-hooo! I could not be more thrilled, especially since I’m sure she noticed because of our EL-LENd Me a Hand campaign!! THANK YOU a million times to everyone who has been participating so far! Now I’m more determined than ever to […]
Green Day:* French Green Soup with Spinach, Lettuce and Peas
March 15, 2010 by 30 Comments
*No relation to the band of the same name, of course. [Holy shamrock! That soup really is rather green!] After being on the ACD for a full year now, I must admit to feeling a bit like a basket case (my, time sure does fly when you’re [not] having fungus). Having cut out poprocks and coke–not to mention […]
Food for What Ails Ya: Lentil Rissoles
September 30, 2009 by 35 Comments
Just like Anna Karenina’s unhappy families, everyone deals with illness in her or his own way. The HH, for instance, when struck with a cold or flu, takes to his (ie, our) bed for two days or so. He doesn’t talk; he doesn’t watch TV; he doesn’t eat; he barely uses the bathroom. Then, after […]
Autumnal Summer Salad–and Giveaway!
August 27, 2009 by
Remember last week, when I crowed about summer finally arriving in Southern Ontario? Well, little did I know that that single day would constitute the entire season! As of this week, we’re waking up to a distinct chill under ever-darkening skies; there’s condensation on my car windows when I slip into the driver’s seat; and the […]
Lucky Comestible 5 (5): “Ground” Tempeh in a Cilantro Curry Sauce
August 2, 2009 by 22 Comments
[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. For this fifth edition, I’m focusing on cilantro. The series is presented on an occasional (and entirely arbitrary) basis, before I move on to the next lucky […]
A Fresh Start. . . and 2008’s Last (Food-Related) Hurrah
January 3, 2009 by 42 Comments
[Potato-Kale Curry] First, and most importantly: Happy 2009, everyone! Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments and good wishes for the new year. I can’t even begin to express how much I appreciate them all and how much blogging has brought into my life. But by far, the best part is you–readers and other […]
Virtual Spring: Katie’s Creamy Aspara-Dip
March 19, 2008 by 16 Comments
Well, it snowed AGAIN yesterday (is this grating on your nerves as much as it’s grating on mine?* I mean, it is now March 19th. Like, what’s up with that? Snow is just. . . so. . . wrong at this time of year. In either hemisphere). I am yearning for spring like the Tin Man yearns for a […]
