Cakespy's Guide to the 13 Best Sweets in Paris

These photos make my dreary Colorado afternoon seem like endless punishment. If only I could walk out my door and down the street to any one of these patisseries and indulge in a scrumptious afternoon treat. With a cup of coffee please.

Eat Your Weeds: Tips for Picking and Cooking Dandelions

Every year I tell myself I'm going to eat more dandelion greens. Will this be the year?? Still thawing out here in Colorado. It's gonna be a few more weeks before the foraging begins. Bring on the green!

Celebrate Pancake Tuesday Tomorrow

Fun to see this post. I recently wrote about pancake day, I mean Shrove Tuesday, too! If it were up to me, it'd be pancake day every day.

Cook the Book: Chocolate Chip Cookies

What? No vanilla? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around its absence. It's like having a PBJ without the J.

Technique of the Week: How to Cream Butter and Sugar

I love the addition of this technique column to your line-up. I see now that I've not lingered long enough with my hand mixer during the creaming process. Looking forward to testing out this new-found skill. Thanks!

The Secret Ingredient (Membrillo): Grilled Cheese with Serrano and Membrillo

I ate membrillo con queso as dessert almost every day when I studied in Spain about a century ago. Never had it with jamon serrano. Great to see this combination!

Grilling: Bartlett Pears a la Mode

My grill is covered in snow, but I'm going to brush that all off and get busy with this dessert. I've never grilled fruit and now that pears are on sale, I'm inspired. By the way, why the Mexican vanilla extract? I'm sticking with Rodelle - Bourbon Vanilla :-)

The Crisper Whisperer: How to Glaze Root Vegetables

I am a cartouche neophyte. So bear with me. When you say 'snip off the pointy end of the triangle to make a hole in the center' - how big should that inner circle be - 1 cm or smaller?

Guide to When Fruits and Vegetables Are in Season

Good catch on yellow coloring the wrong state. Colorado is no doubt correct. Whoops on geographic knowledge, eh? Bookmarked indeed! Happy New Year.

Tollhouse Chocolate Chip, no butter: 1/2 Crisco, 1/2 margarine. My mom's affection for margarine is unparalleled.

Snickerdoodles and super soft chewy sugar cookies decorated with sprinkles and frosting about 3 mm thick, maybe 4.

Cook the Book: Classic Sugar Cookies

Your description, "tender-but-still-crisp" sounds like "soft" is not involved in this cookie. I lean toward the soft sugar cookie. What kind of spin could I put on this recipe to soften it up?

Ruminations on In-N-Out Burger

Exactly! I see it as a lifestyle/life experience thing. We need places like this to connect us to our roots, our geography, our sense of community. Quality of the burger aside, I think the cult/enjoyment has everything to do with what the experience of going to the burger joint means to us. My burger right of passage happens in Moab, at Milt's (Colorado girl heads west every spring).

Pannekoek, the Dutch Pancake

Very excited to try out the apple-cheddar pannekoeken recipe from the SFC article. Thanks for featuring this culinary treat. As with crepes, I'm glad for an option that let's me go sweet or savory.

Cook the Book: Chocolate Sheet Cake

I made this over the weekend and it didn't come out very cakey. Wondering if high altitude would affect the outcome? The flavor was amazing, but the sugar content was rather extreme for this girl. I'm looking forward to adjusting this to suit my taste buds. Loved how quick and easy the recipe is.

10 DIY Food-Themed Halloween Costumes

No doubt the deviled egg is my favorite. There's nothing I like more than a costume that plays on words. However, I must confess that even more endearing to this Colorado girl is the Trader Joe's jingle. Because of our liquor laws (we just started selling on Sundays in liquor stores), we won't be seeing Trader Joe's any time soon. Thanks for the great costume ideas!
