Yesterday was stormy, which meant Lizzie spent most of the afternoon panting and shaking. Having a terrified corgi underfoot isn’t very conducive to housework, so I grabbed a book and Lizzie and I sat in Fuzz’s closet waiting for the thunder to subside. It didn’t, so after an hour in the closet we moved to [...]

I came home from vacation ready to bake, but the reality was there were piles of laundry and personal matters to attend to. Experimenting in the kitchen wasn’t an option, so I turned to my fresh pile of cooking magazines for inspiration. I found it in the November issue of Eating Well – …

That saying, “Never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink” doesn’t mean much to me because wine I won’t drink is exactly what I cook with. A disappointing bottle of red means Coq au Vin the next day – and it always tastes better than the wine. In the September issue of Food and Wine, [...]
