My frst taste of homemade spinach ravioli, made many years ago by my husband's grandmother. We were never able to duplicate the pasta or the filling, making the memories of them even more precious.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

Back in the day, my dad would make bacon sandwiches for breakfast- - fry the bacon in a cast iron pan. Remove from pan when nice and crispy, set aside to cool slightly, reserving ALL THAT bacon fat.
Saute two generic slices of Wonderbread in ALL THAT bacon fat and saute on both sides until light brown. Drain bread briefley on paper towles. Assemble sandwhich and enjoy unsurpassed pork goodness.

I am currently hooked on America Test Kitchen's recipe sourdough bread. It's a great recipe - made with some beer. You won't be disappointed if you try it!

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

My first week in culinary school I was assigned to the pastry shop. The assignment for the day was to prepare lemon meringue pies to sell in the school cafeteria.
Being new to using weights and measures instead of measuring cups and spoons, I made a slight error......instead of one ounce of salt for the pie filling, I added one POUND of salt. No one caught the mistake until a customer brought it back and asked for a refund...uh-oh! I never did live that one down.

Mom! She le me have free acess to the kitchen from the age of about eight on. No recipe was too daunting for us. She always gave me the go-ahead to attempt anything from homemade strudel to my attempt at preparing escargot fresh from our garden.
Thanks, Mom - love you.
