Valentine’s Day!

I decided a few of weeks ago, that I wanted to try to make some cookies using vintage Valentine cards as the theme. They are so sweet and the artwork is just darling. I’ve seen cookies and cakes with artwork printed on them online and in bakeries, but I didn’t realize this was something I could achieve at home. After doing a little research, I found out you can buy frosting sheets and edible ink cartridges for certain home printers. And mine was one of them. YAY! So I bought the inks for my printer. Then I realized I would have to clean it somehow, which sounded like a whole bunch of trouble, so I decided to buy another printer just like it. No such luck. My printer is too old for stores to still carry. So, I had to get a newer printer, which meant I needed different inks … of course. But I was determined, so I went ahead and exchanged the inks while I waited for the new printer to arrive. After it arrived and I started to set it up, I thought something was strange. It called for six cartridges, but the edible inks …

Bargain Prices on Magazines

December 1, 2009 – 8:53 am | by admin

45e4995f6asimple 150x150 Bargain Prices on Magazines

I love Real Simple Magazine. It’s one I’ve been wanting to subscribe to for a while, but I always end up talking myself out of it. Not this time! When I saw an offer for a year subscription at only $5 I couldn’t refuse. Amazon.com is offering several magazine subscriptions for only $5. That’s about how much one issue costs, so I consider it a win if there is a magazine on their list that you’ve been interested in for a while. Check out the others here . Food & Wine is another magazine on the list. I’ve never subscribed or read that magazine before, but at only $5 I’m going to give it a try. These would make great inexpensive holiday gifts. Today – December 1st – is the last day, so if you’re interested in any of the magazines, don’t hesitate to take advantage of this great offer! Help keep these great magazines alive. After the closure of Gourmet , I don’t want to say goodbye to another wonderful resource.

GUEST POST: Observations from a Novice Cook

September 28, 2009 – 9:30 pm | by admin

bf4d8d55fc553332 121x150 GUEST POST: Observations from a Novice Cook

Kris is on vacation. Today’s post comes from Stan Laikowski, who sometimes writes or says funny things. He has a brand new blog here: www.bedstan.vox.com . He is always a husband and dad. My young self had big plans for my adult self. I had always seen myself as growing into a jack-of-all-trades, without the “master of none” part. With little effort, and even less time commitment, I was to be a phenomenal drummer, clutch jump shooter, and cutting edge film director. Skate boarder. Novelist. Jet setter. The list goes on. The dusty Tama Swingstar drum set that I finally threw out a few years ago tells a different story, as does the pile of notebooks I have accumulated, each holding dozens of half-finished story sketches. To be fair, I have met with varying degrees of success. Did somebody say indie band ‘Housemother Dunbar’? No? OK. Regardless, as I get older, each year seems to be defining what I will never be. Cooking was yet another art on my list. I saw myself as a happy-go-lucky bachelor with serious culinary chops, creating sumptuous meals while sharing a glass of…

Foodblogging Fiesta

September 28, 2009 – 3:28 pm | by admin

1c0986ec17539588 150x112 Foodblogging Fiesta

I just spent the weekend in San Francisco, where I attended the first-ever BlogHer Food conference. I was invited to speak on two panel discussions—invitations I accepted despite the fact that speaking in front of crowds is #83 on the list of the Top 100 Things I’d Rather Not Do In Life . Some other items on the list: #1 Eat a banana #4 Sell real estate #18 Run into an ex-boyfriend when I’m disheveled, not wearing make-up, and donning my holey yoga pants #45 Attend any club meeting #92 Have my gums scraped #100 Eat an oyster So, as you can see from the list above, I’d rather have my gums scraped than speak in front of a crowd—much less a crowd of my foodblogging peers, who I feared would be only slightly less terrifying an audience than the seven children I address during the Children’s Moment in our Presbyterian church every Sunday. Talk about a group of scrutinizing individuals. You don’t ever want to have to face that horror. Despite a mother-guilt meltdown the night before I left for San Francisco and the subsequent …

Energizing Foods Guide. Rev-Up…!

September 25, 2009 – 11:52 pm | by admin

c5484a7b11ices 3 150x135 Energizing Foods Guide. Rev Up...!

Who wants more energy? I think I know your answer. Thus I give you part two of my “Foods for your Mood” mini-series: Energizing Foods ! First up, my ultimate guide to foods that energize. “And what is a man without energy? Nothing – nothing at all.” -Mark Twain Why Energy? Occasional fatigue is an unavoidable fact of life. Some of us get tired from over-using our bodies and some of us get tired because we aren’t challenging our bodies enough! (I call that couch-potato-fatigue.) Reality Check: Taking care of yourself isn’t easy. Committing to a lifestyle of wellness takes time, energy and persistence. But when you take care of yourself you have more energy, and when you have more energy it’s easier to take care of yourself. Slacking off on wellness will only leave you feeling extra-fatigued. One natural way to ‘get energized’ is to include energizing foods in your diet. Ahead, find out just what an “energizing” food is, see my list and get a few cool energizing quotes… What is an “Energizing” Food? Great question. ‘Energizing’ foods provide a quick energy boost from high quality carbohydrates. Low quality simple carbs like white table sugar may give you an immediate energy jolt, but in a …

Who is the Average Wine Consumer?

September 19, 2009 – 5:14 pm | by admin

Perhaps the American wine market needs it’s own persona incarnate like Joe the Plumber. We’ll call her Jane the Accountant. We may not know much about her politics, but we do know what Jane drinks. Every year I look forward to a report by Restaurant Wine magazine that clearly shows what Jane and all the other basic wine consumers like her drink on a regular basis. We know that most Americans do their drinking at restaurants, rather than at home (sadly wine is still too much of a special occasion drink in this country), so the annual study that Restaurant Wine commissions of the top selling wine brands in America represents the best window we have into consumption patterns of the people who drink the vast majority of wine in this country. The report lists the top 100 individual wines, and the top 100 wine brands sold in restaurants in the previous calendar year. For 2008, the top 10 wines (by volume) sold in American restaurants were: 1. Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Vintner’s Reserve, CA 2. Cavit Pinot Grigio, Italy 3. Beringer Vineyards White Zinfande, CA 4. Sutter Home White Zinfandel, CA 5. Inglenook Chablis, CA…

Time for a Drink: Suffering Bastard

September 4, 2009 – 5:30 pm | by admin

c9e4222df7lesbug 150x100 Time for a Drink: Suffering Bastard

From Recipes Let’s start the weekend right—with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke ( The Cocktail Chronicles ). Need more than one? Hit up the archives. Cheers! I can’t explain how I’ve managed to stay interested in mixology this long without ever getting around to mixing myself a drink as enticingly named as the Suffering Bastard. But when I was perusing Anvil’s 100 Cocktails list, the Bastard stood out as one I had yet to cross off my list. The drink’s genesis can be traced to the Long Bar at the Shepheard Hotel in Cairo. As the story goes, in the late 1940s, the Shepheard’s bar steward was Joe Scialom. One day in 1947, according to Esquire , Scialom was desperate for a hangover remedy and the Suffering Bar Steward (soon somewhat sloppily rechristened as the Suffering Bastard) was the result. There are a number of recipes for the Suffering Bastard floating about. Some are merely Mai tai variations with extra rum, while some call for brandy instead of bourbon, and others for rum. Today’s drink historians generally settle on bourbon as one of the two base…

iPhone App Tells What Produce Is In Season

July 9, 2009 – 3:48 pm | by admin

30bd1cf15acavore 81x150 iPhone App Tells What Produce Is In Season

An iPhone application called Locavore tells you which fruits and vegetables are in season at any given time in your area. Just tell it where you live, and then select the “currently in season” option for the list of foods. You can also see foods that will be in season soon, and get a listing of local farmers markets.
