I’m not one who subscribes to feeding my friends only pre-tested recipes. I’ve experimented on my family and friends so many times that they should sign consent forms every time I feed them. As luck would have it, about the time I uploaded Michele’s post I got an email from our mutual former roommate Suzanne. …

Thunder Thighs
Turkey thighs deserve a little respect. Sometimes they’re cheaper than chicken thighs, and can be used in the same way as their more diminutive counterparts. One thigh can easily feed two people. You also have a hefty-sized bone to gnaw on in the middle of the thigh. Earlier this week I made a recipe out …

Measure for Measurement
Julian was making a recipe tonight and started on a rant: “What do they mean by a clove of garlic? These cloves are of wildly differing sizes. And how much chorizo (Spanish sausage) is one chorizo? You can buy chorizos of different sizes. You should write a blog post about this.” Okay, dear, here it …

The Throw-Everything-Together Dressing
While turkey is okay, I am a fanatic about dressing (or stuffing, if you wish). My stepfather taught me how to make bread dressing, You do it mostly by feel and taste. There are no set proportions, you just stretch based on the size of your guest list, how many days of leftovers you want, …

The Infamous Eggnog Bread Recipe
“Christmas Creep”, the phenomenon of getting Christmas-themed products into stores earlier and earlier each year, is getting out of hand. We saw eggnog in a neighborhood grocery store before Halloween this year. This example has its upside, however. You can start making eggnog bread now and freeze it for gifts in December. Eggnog bread is …

Oh, Applesauce!
It should not surprise my regular readers that I have strong opinions on anything. Applesauce is no exception. I’ve had relatives and friends who owned orchards in upstate New York. Two high school classmates now run the orchard in my hometown that had been in my mother’s family for many years. Moving to the West …

Salade Compostée
Last night I tried a duck gizzard salad that Julian had found on the web. It’s a rather involved recipe for a weeknight. First you blanch julienned carrots and marinate them in a red wine vinegar brine. Then you sauté some leeks. Following that, you make a vinaigrette with pears. You wash some greens and …

The Life-Changing One True Cobbler®
There is nothing I like better than a good peach in season. Under normal conditions, eating it out of hand (often over the kitchen sink) is sufficient for me. Occasionally you need to embellish perfection. This is where cobblers come into play. Many years ago, my department in North Carolina hosted a going-away party for …
