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…

I have been cooking, I promise. I made Mixed Citrus Vinaigrette for a soup, bread, and salad brown bag talk at work -we were demonstrating delicious ways to get through the winter, and this salad just sparkled. My next task will be to cook up a custom apron for the lucky winner…

You make a Tres Leches Cake with it. I actually think the name should let you know that there may be as many as five versions of milk in it, depending on how you count: whole milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, whipping cream, and butter. I'm counting butter - it's just milk,…

I went to visit my 21-year-old son in Brooklyn a few weeks ago. He’s living the dream in Williamsburg, working to become a bicycle frame designer and builder. And Williamsburg is a very young, very foodie, very DIY place right now.
But there are vestiges of the old Italian neighborhood at the…

Make aprons! And little zipper pouches--call them coupon wallets. Really, we had enough snow that this city was paralyzed, and cooking would have meant walking to the grocery store. Why cook, anyway? I was up to the rafters in cookie exchange cookies--six dozen! So this is what I did instead:

I love cheese. I love eating it, and just as much, I love making it. I'm not totally a novice when it comes to cheesemaking, or tasting, either, for that matter, but I'm a long way from a pro. I sure have had some fun cheese adventures, and I only expect to have more. Just to get…
