Oh fancy, fancy

January 17, 2008

Today is stew day. I went to the market to stock up on whatever produce looked fresh to toss in my pot, and I came across a new find…fingerling potatoes. I have seen this tiny treasures on lots of cooking shows, and in glossy food magazines, but never had I come across them in the [...]

A perfect night in…

I hope you get a chance to relax with some delicious comfort food and trashy TV like me. My “OMG this should be illegal” Garlic Bread 1 large loaf of French Bread 1 stick of butter 1 big [...]

Hamburger Helper…LIAR!

January 10, 2008

We had a delightful lunch of Lasagna flavored Hamburger Helper at my Aunt’s today. I have decided that the name Hamburger Helper is quite a misnomer. It’s in no way as delicious as a hamburger, and the only thing it can help you do is go to the bathroom with in 5 minutes of ingesting [...]

Um, is this thing on?

January 4, 2008

You know who doesn’t have a sense of humor? Cow farmers. I accidentally let one little “yum” slip when we were discussing a meat purchase, and you’d think I just punched his grandma. Um, hello…YOU’RE the killing the poor thing, sorry I got a little over excited, but you are in NO PLACE to pass [...]

Sour Grapes

January 3, 2008

Small town life has lots of perks. Everyone knows your name, a safe community feel, no traffic, no stop lights. Buuuut…it does have a downside. The one grocery in town is family owned, and while it’s nice to walk in and have the 90 year old cashier, Pearl, greet me when I walk in, or [...]

Chicken Tetrazzini

January 3, 2008

What’s better in the freezing cold of winter than some cheesy, gooey Italian comfort food? This was a new recipe I tried from a friend who spends WAY too much time on allrecipes.com, and after some modifications, I found it to be superb! This, of course, can also be made with turkey, and goes great [...]

My Only Succesful Baking Endevour

December 20, 2007

Christmas time means Christmas cookies…which I suck at. I don’t mind eating them, but creating them is another thing, and I don’t do it. Cookie Swaps make my palms sweaty, but like them or not, they are a fact of the season, so I was hard pressed to find a cookie recipe that would not [...]

Review: The Ugly Duckling, Swanton

December 19, 2007

I had the pleasure of spending my 3rd Wedding Anniversary at The Ugly Duckling, unconventional, yes, but a pleasure seldom experienced with two infants at home. The Duck is located downtown Swanton, not an area bustling with nightlife, so parking is ample, and pretty accessible in short distance. Walking into the Duck, you may feel [...]
