I'm going to tell you about a summer dinner to remember.
Okay, so this isn't fair, because this may be the last time I EVER see fresh chickpeas, and I don't know anywhere you can buy them. But if you do, oh, my goodness, this is what you do (I'll try to post a real recipe soon, too).
Summer,

Sometimes, you just cannot save a friendship. No matter what remedy you try, it's too far gone, too rusty, completely frozen. For a while, maybe your friendship will limp along, or even run only in reverse. But there comes a day when you know you can't hold on any longer.We're talking about my…

The only thermometer I have in my house that is portable is my cheese
thermometer. Currently in my house - it's the big Seattle heat wave -
it's 90 upstairs, and a stuffy, but tolerable, 70 degrees in the
basement. Where I am. It's already hit something like 102 degrees
outside, and we are wilti

When enough of those annual occasions have passed that you recognize a classic Michigan drive-in, with high-schooler carhops and all, the passing date requires less attention, don't you think? So being treated to a real Michigan-Style Coney Dog and onion rings for this birthday hit just the…

HOW did I miss this? Well, I guess the Pacific NW is not known for its chile peppers, and it takes running off to southern New Mexico to find out that Green Chiles and Cheese belong on everything. First stop: Pie Town. (How can you go wrong with a name like that?) Apparently I just missed…

Well, I've been busy in the bean patch, and in the creamery (don't be fooled - the bean patch is 2x4 feet and the creamery is the kitchen). In October, my Kiwi botanist neighbor Ola brought me a handfull of magic bean seeds, fava beans, in fact, something I've never eaten or grown. I put them…

Deep, insincere apologies to you - there's no picture of my cotija cheese and Alaska wild caught spot prawn enchiladas with my home canned tomatillo salsa, with the rich, creamy drizzle of Mexican crema, and chunks of fresh avocado. The prawns tasted like sweet, meaty lobster. This…

Hold the margaritas, bring on the cheese! Am I crazy (do NOT answer that), or isn't every holiday a chance to try more cheese? I mean really, the true reason for Cinco de Mayo goes back to a battle at Puebla where a small Mexican army defeated the French. Despite their superior strength, and…

Is there anything prettier than a deep orange sweet potato? Or the orangey red of pimentos? Or a cheery orange towel buttoned to your apron? Not for me!
I thought you'd enjoy seeing what I've been up to. I made my fun friend and neighbor Dorothy (aka Dot) this dotty floral apron - it came…
