November 14, 2011

I adore sweet potatoes.  I love them roasted, candied, whipped, and just plain old baked.  And they are so amazingly good for you!  Chuck full of vitamin A and fiber.  I personally think no Thanksgiving table is complete without them. So I love to find new ways to prepare this delicious veggie. This recipe is […]

The idea of stuffed meat is always impressive, isn’t it? It looks so difficult.  It’s got style. Luckily, it really isn’t all that difficult to do. Every once in a while I want to stuff some meat. Here is a rendition I just tried over the weekend.  I thought it turned out great!  You can […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s that time of year again. Harvest time! Harvest time comes late where I live.  Although we can put seeds in the ground after Memorial Day, June is often so cold and rainy those poor seeds stay in the warm ground, whimpering and generally being scaredey-cats.  Our garden always has a very slow start.  Then […]

Ricotta Cookies

My kids LOVE these cookies.  They are light and fluffy, with a great vanilla flavor and soft texture. They are almost like little cakes.  They are perfect for tea parties!  Because they are full of ricotta cheese, they also make a lovely afternoon snack with a class of milk.  I have been making these for […]

  • Memento Park in Budapest August 1, 2015
    One 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 …

  • Budapest: an Eclectic Conglomeration July 29, 2015
    This 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 …
