Buzzy Calzone

Posted on June 20, 2010 by terry

I’ve been making these for longer than I care to recall. I got the dough recipe from an old Betty Crocker supermarket cookbook called ‘The Weekend Chef’ in 1988. It was originally filled with ground beef, cabbage, and onion; then … Continue reading →

Posted on June 19, 2010 by terry

OK, long-ish story: I used to go to this Chinese restaurant just the other side of Watertown Square – Hunan Palace – that had THE. BEST. HOT AND SPICY EGGPLANT. EVER! A little bit of heat, a little bit of … Continue reading →

Green Beans and other things…

Posted on June 18, 2010 by terry

It’s a warm and blustery day here on the edge o’ the prairie – mid 80’s on the front porch by 10 AM and 90’s projected for later (all praise central air!). One of our neighbors just drove home in … Continue reading →

Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on June 17, 2010 by terry

I was looking to make a treat… The fruit basket pie is (mostly) gone, and we try to keep ice cream intake to once a week at the most anyway. I haven’t made sugar cookies in a while, but then … Continue reading →

Monday was for Meatloaf…

Posted on June 16, 2010 by terry

I actually made yesterday’s Horseradish Sauce to go with this meatloaf and roasted potatoes I did for dinner on Monday. Rich used to suffer through my attempts at meatloaf; the oatmeal experiments, the ‘jelly-roll’ sojourn, and too, too many other … Continue reading →

Horseradish Sauce

Posted on June 15, 2010 by terry

Pearl Onions in a Balsamic Reduction

Posted on June 14, 2010 by terry

I love pearl onions. Rich? Not so much. So I don’t make them that often – usually for some feast or another, and then (also usually) a variation on Julia Child’s Onions in Cream – VERY tasty, in my opinion … Continue reading →

Bright lights, big (ish) city…

Posted on June 13, 2010 by terry

I had PLANNED on writing today about this morning’s brunch – French Toast made with some of the brioche I had stashed in the freezer, but I was a slacker and slept in until around eleven(!) this morning; leaving Rich … Continue reading →

Chicken Paprika

Posted on June 12, 2010 by terry

Score another WIN for the old timers! This recipe is most certainly a keeper – Rich asked if it had sour cream in it, and I allowed as that it did – about a half cup. He then thought that … Continue reading →

Nice Pie!

Posted on June 11, 2010 by terry

I surfed, I baked, I ate. YUM! I think this recipe may be a keeper – tart cherries from Seaquist Orchards in Door County (I really wish their store had been open when we were last up ober by dere) … Continue reading →
