This is an animation, oh yes!
Ahem. Now that that’s out of the way, I have recipes to share, indeed I do!
1. “Onion Relish” from Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone. (page 305)
1 white onion quartered & thinly sliced. (I think it works better to mince it finely, but YMMV)
1/2 tsp salt
Juice of 1/2 [...]

I grew up out in rural Northwestern Nebraska, out on the high prairie. In the summers, by July, the ground everywhere is a light yellow-brown with dried-up prairie grass. Typically, you get a couple-three thunderstorms per week in mid-summer out there, to wind up an otherwise hot-and-windy day. When there’s ging [...]

Every year before the Big Holiday Brouhaha, I go nutty with the baking and make about a gazillion cookies until I can’t stand the sight of a bag of flour and don’t want to roll, stamp, drop, or press another cookie, let alone even smell one until…NEVAR AGAAAAAAAINNNNNN! Of course, only to do it [...]

Because I skipped a few too many days of posting and now I have all sorts of random everything to get down.
So.

I’m working on my annual Gonzo Baking project today. Actually, today, I am using standard recipes; I just did a huge batch of old-school brown sugar cookies, and I am about to get on with a double-batch of gingersnaps. I did cocoa-dark-chocolate-chip cookies the other night, and a batch of fig cookies flavored [...]

Last night I went up to Joel’s house to help harvest basil, make pesto, and tear down the ceiling in the living room. He helped me with the outrageous job of removing wallpaper from my living-room ceiling, so I really felt like I owed him.
I got up there around 5:30, did a little pottering [...]

What you need is a bagel, a tomato straight out of the garden, a bit of cream-cheese, paper-thin slices of red onion, and slices of Swiss cheese.
Use the cream-cheese to glue the tomato and onions to the bagel halves, and layer the Swiss heese between the tomato and onions.
Another good variant is mashed avacado instead [...]

Validation on the fluoride front.

And in other news, I made my first sushi tonight.
I cooked, seasoned, and cooled rice (I spread it out to cool in a cake pan) I cooked 1 cup of dry rice, therefore two cups cooked.
On the onigiri-nori, I spread the rice, then three long slices of green onion, some [...]

A while back, Sars over at Tomato Nation wrote a nostalgic piece about being a giddy junior-high girl and the candies we all liked back in those days. Spree was the confection that had kicked off her train of nostalgia. Spree, as anyone between the ages of 25 and 35 may [...]

In the course of browsing YouTube and Google Video for amusing videos, I watched quite a few of the chronicles of Morning Musume, including Ayaka’s Surprise English Lessons, a sketch in which Ayaka, a bilingual Musume member and leader of Coconuts Musume, would waylay the other girls in the studio with promises of treats if [...]
