Apple Craziness!
It’s that time of year again. The nights are crisper, the colors a bit brighter, and the kids are back in school. By October I am cooking stews, soups, and gingerbread. Lots of gingerbread. Fall simply demands it! Fall for us also means harvest time! Well, soon it will get into the low 30s and […]
Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
August 30, 2011
I got this recipe from my dear friend Blondie, and since then, we make this several times a month. The only thing that prevents us from making these is a lack of over-ripe bananas on hand. Sometimes we eat through the whole bunch before they are ripe enough! Blondie also gave me another great idea: […]
Cherry Pie: a labor of LOVE!
August 22, 2011
Yes, you probably didn’t know it, but homemade cherry pie is a labor of love. This cherry pie has been years in the making. Yes, years. First, you plant a cherry tree. We planted ours four years ago. The first year we had a cherry stick, not really a tree. We got one cherry. The […]
Raspberry Coffee Cake

I mentioned I have been under a Raspberry attack, right? I have picked 12-13 gallon from my patch this summer. And I am still getting a quart or so every few days. It has been a good year for raspberries! I am always thinking of ways to use them up. My neighbor and friend has […]

Apple Puff Pancakes
August 14, 2011
I think I first had “German Babies” at my Aunt Judith’s house when I was a kid. I thought they were divine then and we still have them once a month or so now. They are like a giant popover. Eggy, light, and delicious. They actually come together quite quickly which makes it fair game […]

- Memento Park in Budapest August 1, 2015One of the most fascinating places we visited was Budapest’s Memento Park. After the fall of the USSR, and finally, by 1991, when the last Soviet soldier left Hungary, the propagandistic art of the Soviets was rounded up and sent to the outskirts of town. Hungarians were not interested in being constantly reminded of their …Damommachef
- Budapest: an Eclectic Conglomeration July 29, 2015This is my first foray into Central/Eastern Europe and I must say I am not the least disappointed. Budapest is fantastic! As we went walking through the streets it struck me how asymmetrical Budapest is. The streets seem to go every which way, the city has layers and two sides separated by these massive, beautiful …Damommachef
