My double chocolate chunk cookies with toasted pecans. Or Sherry Yard's incredible Hot Chocolate!

I make my jam in pretty much the same way, but never, ever, have I heard of anyone putting jam into a hotwater bath! Between clean jars, sugar, and lemon juice, it's unusual to have any problem with mold or spoilage.

ooooo, I want to check these out! I'm at:

I update two or three times a week.............

I would steam/simmer broc florets in small pan, cook the potatoes with herbs in chicken stock in another pot, then use immersion blender to puree the potatoes. Drain broccoli well, toss with a little butter or oil and maybe some dill, and place in the middle of the now pureed potato soup. Hopefully, they won't sink. Top with fresh cracked pepper and a few sprinklings of cheese - but pass a bowl of shredded cheese to all for additional cheesy taste. Actually, you could cook the peeled broccoli stems in with the potatoes, now that I think about it.

I gave up my Gourmet subscribtion because the lighting was so dark and unappealing - it seemed to be directed for a noir film - not focussed, stubble-bearded cute guys, cracked china. Ugh. Guys, I'm here for the FOOD - and that means light, light, light.

I'm a Redbones fan, too! Love the art on the walls, love the food, even if I just drink the lemonade!

Fantastic! Thank you for the recipe - can you imagine this with lemon verbena or lemon balm? Oh yum!

Can anything touch "Mostly Martha" ? (the German film).........

How pretty! If I have your patience, I'd love to try this for the Christmas tree decorations! Just beautiful.

Loads of herbs - rosemary, parsley, and thyme - a little jasmine rice, baby carrots, a handful of celery, turkey, and salt and freshly cracked pepper . Simple, satisfying, and oh my delicious.

Love gougeres! I have a recipe on my blog if you want to take a look....I love that crazy 80's app - canned or fresh, blanched asparagus, Pepperidge Farm thin sliced white bread rolled with a rolling pin, smear with mayo and/or guacamole, pepper - lots of pepper! - and some fresh dill - roll up the asparagus and voila!
Herb cheese ( recipe again, on blog -or use Boursin, but I like the herb cheese better) ( cheaper, too) on nice french bread with raw veggies and ripe pears....delicious and not too filling.
Little squares of quiche with fruit - and those figs & honey sound wonderful!
