FRITTATA!

AN ELEGANT, HEALTHFUL MEAL YOU CAN EVEN EAT EVEN ON A DIET! My son Owen is on the Weight Watchers' diet. He has lost 16 pounds. He is sticking to that diet. Really. Sticking. To that diet. So here I am, the cook. I have a husband who is very thin and needs to put … Continue reading FRITTATA!

CHILI TODAY, SIMPLY PUT

A chili recipe, by Rich Paschall There is not much I can cook in the house that Roomie likes. The list is narrowed to Pancakes, scrambled eggs, anything that has to be made in the oven, and chili. I could make chili every day as far as the other guy is concerned. He would live … Continue reading CHILI TODAY, SIMPLY PUT

PERFECT POPOVERS

The world is in shambles, and the planet is falling apart. Russia is going to "get" Ukraine, and they don't care how many people they slaughter in the process. Yellow Jackets are trying to nest in our bird feeders, so the birds will have to go hungry until the swarming is finished -- and it's … Continue reading PERFECT POPOVERS

SAUCE BOLOGNESE – EASY DOES IT

The first time I made this sauce, I followed the directions rigidly. I've been making pasta sauce as long as I could stand at a stove, so that would be give or take, about 60 years. The sauces were always good, but they weren't great. There was always something missing. Finally, I decided to make … Continue reading SAUCE BOLOGNESE – EASY DOES IT

LAST ON THE CARD

Last on the Card for February 2022 I didn't take a lot of pictures last month and many of them were pictures of my own drawings. But I have a few from yesterday -- art and cookery! Last night, the last picture on my OMD-M5 was this: I never processed this one. It needed too much … Continue reading LAST ON THE CARD

DANGEROUS HUMAN BEANS

Last night we made a package of green beans. They weren't the "nuke'em in the package" beans we usually get. You were supposed to empty the package into a frying pan, and 8 minutes later (according to the package), they would be ready to eat. That was when the package warned us that "the food … Continue reading DANGEROUS HUMAN BEANS

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Share Your World 21st July Good thing I'm getting to this today because we have been having a lot of trouble getting moving. We do what we need to do. These days, what we need to do is 90% medical and 10% "other stuff." Today, however, was signing our wills and health proxies with our lawyer … Continue reading BUSY BUSY BUSY

EASY AND IMPRESSIVE POPOVERS

I've made corrections to the text and some of my archaic language, but the recipe hasn't changed. When we rearranged the kitchen for a new refrigerator, we regained access to a cabinet that had been unused because it was above the refrigerator. Only Owen could reach it. When we opened it, among many other items, … Continue reading EASY AND IMPRESSIVE POPOVERS

FIGHTING SANDY’S FIRE

We gathered at Sandy's place. She was an excellent cook. Aspiring to be a professional. When she invited us for a meal, it was a treat, always a good feeding and delicious. We were her test subjects, never knowing what great idea she'd come up with. Whatever, we were happy to eat it. On this … Continue reading FIGHTING SANDY’S FIRE

PRODUCING PERFECT POPOVERS

The world is in shambles and the planet is falling apart. What's left for us to do with such a messy world? I cook and bake. Around here, you can't get a decent meal without a long drive and a big wad of cash. I don't want to cook, but I want to eat. I … Continue reading PRODUCING PERFECT POPOVERS
