A Culinary Adventure for the Entire Family
MY CULINARY DIARY Sunday, June 24, 2012 Today was a Culinary Half-Marathon. Since we were almost out of bread, I decided to make some Country White Bread. I once got a T-Shirt at one conference or another that had the White Lily Flour Logo on it. I had never actually ever used White Lily […]
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 & Wednesday Since my car is in the shop today, thought it would be a good day to get some cooking and baking done. (For a Change!) Removed one quart container of Chicken Broth from the freezer and cut up the center portion of a head of celery and […]
March 25th – March 26th Sunday – 3/25 – Looks like this Sunday is another day filled with cooking and baking which is the perfect thing to do in rainy weather. Started the Day with making Ebelskivers and Sausage for Breakfast. My Ebelskivers actually have apples inside (as the name proclaims). We had them […]
Sunday, March 18 – 2012: Today is David’s Birthday and since I invited him for dinner I also asked him to choose what he would like for dinner. He had lost 30 lbs. since December and thought this would be a good day to indulge himself, just this once! So Dinner was Lobster Lasagna, […]
There are actually many types of Tubular Pasta. There is Penne, rigatoni, ziti and more. Penne is my favorite of the Tubular Pasta. Rigatoni are so big that for my taste there is just too much pasta to bite into at one time. Penne are considerably thinner than Rigatoni, but they are still tubular […]
Valentine’s Day, named after the Martyred St. Valentine is known as a day for lovers. Flowers & candy are sold and given in abundance and restaurants are booked weeks in advance for this special day. My husband Ev, loves to take me out for dinner and I in turn love to cook for this […]
There is almost something you can convert one dish to when you get tired of eating it. Since it is corn season, I tend to use a lot of corn whether it be ‘corn on the cob’, corn salad or corn relish. The problem is that sometimes we get carried away and make too much […]
Chef Tim and I are going to make Sfogliatelli tomorrow night with his Professional Class in Westlake Village, CA. When we made plans to make these, neither one of us had ever made them. This was to be a first for both of us, however I decided that it might be prudent if at least […]
There are many types of pasta that are made all over the world. The best quality pasta is made from semolina (hard durum wheat) and eggs with maybe a little salt and some olive oil thrown in. There is pasta that has no eggs in it and then there is pasta made for those with […]
We just returned from 10 days on the Island of Kauai in our 50th State, Hawaii. While there we enjoyed the sunshine, the water and the food. Our condo looked out over lush gardens that led to the ocean and Poipu Beach was just around the corner. I can still feel the gentle tropical […]
