What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?

My MIL makes both -- lamb for her sons -- ham for me and sister-in-law, and different side dishes for the two meats. Neither my SIL nor I grew up eating lamb and we never developed a taste for it.

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

My two attempts at no-knead bread resulted in flat frisbee-like loaves both times. They had a nice open crumb though...

How to Roast Perfect Pumpkin Seeds

I was just sitting here procrastinating, ignoring the roasting pan full of pumpkin guts and seeds in the other room waiting to be dealt with... I guess this is a sign that I should go work on that now. :-(

Cook the Book: 'The Cook's Country Cookbook'

Broccoli salad with craisins and bacon. It fits the bill for a coleslaw-type salad, but is just a little different.

Was Paul Newman's Greatest Contribution Organic Snack Foods?

My favorite is Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa. I find it incredibly addictive and have been known to eat it by the spoonful straight out of the jar when I've run out of tortilla chips.

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

I was baking multiple batches of cupcakes for my sons' joint birthday party a few years back and forgot to add the eggs to one batch. At that point, I had already finished baked several, and was apparently on auto-pilot, and patting myself on the back for being so efficient. I could not for the life of me figure out why the eggless cupcakes would not stay together. I think I ended up making some sort of chocolatey trifle with the rejects.

A nice half-sour pickle if I'm being good. Sweet potato fries if I'm not.
