Veal

I love stuffed, roasted breast of veal, and made this last October, but never got around to posting about it.  I’d included the veal in a cheese order from Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse, and had it in the freezer just begging to be used. For the stuffing, I made do with what I had on … Continue reading →

For the Holidays

All sorts of intriguing books and events have come to my attention lately. If you need a gift for a Trader Joe’s fan, try the “I Love Trader Joe’s Around the World Cookbook.” Yes, we all know that much of what you find at Trader Joe’s is ready to heat and serve (or just serve), … Continue reading →

Let the Cheese Games Begin!

I always go a little cheese crazy as the weather cools, and this year is no exception. Just the other day I got an email from Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse that they had Jean Louis Special Blue again, the first time since their move to Milford about 2 years ago. Lickety-split I ordered myself a … Continue reading →
