I had some time this morning, and thought I would make some yogurt. It is very easy, and this would be, what my forth or fifth time making it. I firgured I would make it, and then get to work. But, oh, I forget why slow food is called slow food. As I heated the […]

Polenta Lasagne, using up tomatoes
I don’t know why I keep trying to make things with polenta, as I must be doing something wrong. It does not get all stiff with me, no matter how much I cook it. Still, this looked like a cool gluten free lasagna, and I was open to that, as well as having an excuse […]
Leek and Fennel Soup
First let me say that this is what I burned my hand on. More on that later, but my hand still stings, and I am rather annoyed that this was the cause of it. So, one of the cookbooks I picked up was The Moosewood Restaurant New classics. I hadn’t made anything from it, but […]
Apple Cake, again, gluten free
Yes I am still trying to find a way to get through all the apples that we have been getting from our CSA. Come winter, we will miss them, but for now, we just want to use them before they all go bad. And I am being stubborn. I know there must be a good […]
Brown Rice Pudding, dairy and glutton free
OK, another recipe from the Healthy Lunchbox. True, we had already made a brown rice pudding, but what the heck, we thought we would do another one. Only problem was, we didn’t have any rice milk or almond milk or soy milk in the house. I thought I had goat milk, but when I picked […]
Carrot and Zucchini Muffins, gluten free
A while ago, when Cartoonist started middle school, I thought I would help her with ideas for her lunch, and bought a book called “The Healthy Lunchbox.” I had forgotten that we even had the book, until I started looking through the cookbook shelves to see what I could come up with for her to […]
Sometimes you have to buy lunch
Cartoonist went to school today with money, instead of food. Yesterday, she did take her lunch, but didn’t have the lunch bag that I knitted her, and her little boxes spilled all over the floor of the car. I’m going to have to take it to the carwash to get the rice pudding picked up. […]
Pasta via a pasta maker
Hooray, I got to use the pasta maker on some white rice flour pasta, and it turned out, resonantly well, for the first time out. I thought, wrongly, that this machine would do it all, flatten the dough, and make it into strips, and all that stuff. My sweetie, who got it for me, kept […]
Reading food porn in the King Arthur Flour Catalogue
So, while I am recovering from my last of the summer cold, I checked my snail mail, and found the King Arthur Flour catalog, which features some great food porn. Why the cover alone, of apples with cinnamon on them, drew me in right away. But, much as I love King Arthur, I am annoyed […]
Ants in the kitchen
Sorry, I have been sick, so haven’t been cooking, or writing about it. At least, without cooking, the ants have decreased a bit. I promise to resume tomorrow. I am hoping to have the energy to write and cook by then. The ants that remain, seem to be going for mundane stuff, such as left […]
