This all started because I had some pricey “European Style” sour cream from the Whole Earth Center to use up. It was just too good to waste. So I googled, and found a recipe on food52.com for Sour Cream Cardamom Pear Cake. As I started making the recipe, I noticed my butter and sugar were … Continue reading
Okay, I’m cheating a bit here, I actually made this dish in October, but enjoyed leftovers into November. I even added a random can of gigante beans at the end since I had still more escarole to use up. Braised escarole with white beans is a classic preparation and while I always have beans (dry and … Continue reading

Got Pie? Not everyone can make time to bake at Thanksgiving. Or maybe you’re just not inclined that way. No problem, local farm markets and bakeshops have got you covered, so here are a few options in our area. Not everyone I queried has responded, so if I get more information I’ll add it.

How hard should it be, I had started to wonder, to pack a healthy lunch for your kids? Same for afternoon snacks – those seem to have evolved from a simple piece of fruit, or maybe celery stuffed with peanut butter and a few raisins, to something more like a restaurant-worthy prepared dish. Just how much … Continue reading
My friend Betty and I couldn’t resist stopping by a roadside stand for strawberries the other day, since they just came into season. When I was about 14 or so, my parents planted a large strawberry patch. I promptly developed an allergy to them, so could never have any. How cruel is that? Somehow, though, years later … Continue reading

In spite of December’s surfeit of traditional holiday foods, I still managed to get in a variety of other dishes, including some ethnic finds. The month started with a very good oyster po’boy at ONE 53 for lunch one day when my nephew brought down my months old grand-nephew Sammy for a visit. I ordered several … Continue reading
I had an eventful November, including a very nice Thanksgiving dinner with family at the new Seasons 52 at MarketFair. My “official” review of this new hotspot comes out in a few weeks, I’ve been three times now (counting an early media dinner), and have yet to be disappointed. Others apparently agree, the place was packed … Continue reading
October was another busy month of delicious tastes, both at home and out on the dining trail. Besides the places I’ve already posted about (Like Peasants Grill and Seasons 52), here’s a gallery of the rest. I’d bookmarked a recipe I found online for a crock pot dish of Cornish game hens cooked with fig preserves … Continue reading
