Wow, this was a great recipe, and we loved how it came out. We discovered this one because Cartoonist has to make her lunches, this year, in high school, and we wanted a cook book that was made for lunches, and packable lunches. What we bought was “Vegan Lunch box” by Jennifer McCann. We figured […]

How not to make souffle
by Laura R. on 01. Sep, 2010 in Apples, savery, souffle
Why is it when I take plenty of pictures, lots of pictures, that the dish doesn’t turn out too well, but when I only remember to take one picture, it is the best thing I have ever eaten or made. Sometimes, I don’t even get a picture of it. It all started when we got […]
Really good Baba ganoush
by Laura R. on 31. Aug, 2010 in Dips, Eggplant
We received eggplant in our basket this week, only one, but a trip to the farmer’s market fixed that, and we were able to make baba ganoush. I was all excited, as I had never made it before, and the first thing I noticed, once I got home, was that I had to make tahini. […]
Chilled Apple and Carrot Soup Part II
by Laura R. on 29. Aug, 2010 in Apples, carrots, Chilled, Soup
As often happens there is a lag time when things have to go into the fridge and wait. Once I got the mix off the pot, I had to blend it again, with the apple sauce I had made the other day. Problem was that it was quite hot, so I couldn’t just reach my […]
Chilled apple and carrot soup, Part I
by Laura R. on 28. Aug, 2010 in Apples, carrots, Chilled, Soup
Once again, we have too many apples (Is it possible?), so we looked up another recipe from the Savor book. We decided, because of the weather, to make Chilled Apple and Carrot Soup. We had most of the ingredients, and those we didn’t have, that we didn’t get, were just those for the garnish, which […]
Tastes like tar, part II
by Laura R. on 27. Aug, 2010 in Cooking
Cartoonist has redone the banner and redone the cartoon, especially after the last two kitchen failures. As I mentioned before, if the batter doesn’t taste good, we have concluded that the resulting cooked food won’t either. Cartoonist says to say that she doesn’t like how I cropped the banner, however.
Using up summer squash, cookies
by Laura R. on 26. Aug, 2010 in cookies
We got a bunch of squash from the farm (our CSA), and thought, wow, we can do something with this, and that something was a recipe from the Camp Joy blog (our CSA). Even though none of theirs have worked out yet, I thought, ok, one more time. While Cartoonist mixed the ingredients, I grated […]
Too much deviation, another apple cake
by Laura R. on 25. Aug, 2010 in Apples, cake, Uncategorized
On of the first things Cartoonist and I wanted to do was to bake something from the Savor cook book, which we had picked up on the cruise. We looked and looked, remembering how things tasted, and decided ont he Low-Fat Apple cake. We didn’t have the ingredients for the Coulis sauce, nor for the […]
The cruise was nice, and I bought a cookbook
by Laura R. on 24. Aug, 2010 in Uncategorized
I will write about the cruise, but sufice it to say, the food was quite good, and I bought a cookbook. We tried to make something form it when we got home, but that will have to wait until tomorrow to see more about that. At first, I tried eating only bland simple food, but […]
A week of no cooking
by Laura R. on 23. Aug, 2010 in Uncategorized
I am about to embark on a cruise, to celebrate Cartoonist’s 16th birthday. I don’t know what to expect, but I do know I won’t be cooking. I’ll report back what happened and if I was able to eat as close to the source as possible while I was away. We shall see. I’ll miss […]
