A few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure if this was really a bad omen or what. But with the help of Kevin, who insisted he was just having a bad day, things did indeed turn around for the better… Hope you all have a terrific holiday, and thanks for sticking around and keeping me company. You guys rock—much love to you all. Bonne fête and…
1. Dressing It’s not dressing, it’s stuffing. Get it? It gets stuffed in the bird. That why it’s called stuff-ing. Even if you don’t use it to stuff, you’re not ‘dressing’ the bird. The mere mention of the word ‘dressing’ makes me wince down to my you-know-what. (It’s even hard for me to type.) If you want further proof, it’s Stove-Top ‘Stuffing’ Mix, not ‘Dressing’…
When I posted a few weeks ago about going to Camp Cassoulet, there was a frenzy of messages and comments from people; “I must have one! Where can I get one of those gorgeous cassoulet bowls?” Well, good things come to those who wait. And since you’ve waited, here’s your big chance to get an authentic cassole shipped right to your front door, along with…
Did you know that this Friday is the closing day for Menu For Hope IV? So far, we’ve just about rounded passed the $30,000 mark! I know many of you are angling for the deluxe KitchenAid Artisan Series Mixer, ice cream-making attachment, and copy of The Perfect Scoop that I will personally deface for you with my John Hancock (EU17), which I’ll spell a little…
Think it’s easy to self-publish online? Two new options from Heidi and Elise that do make it easy to create compilation cookbooks. Paris’ chic-est pipi palace. Chocolat v.1.0 (beta) Were these all the cutest moments of 2007—or what? (I watched it twice in a row on the plane! Too cute…)
Just a quick note that I’ll be a guest on The Daily Buzz Friday morning, December 14th. Click for showtimes and stations. No one told me the show starts at…gulp…6am, so if I look a little bleary…c’est comme ça! I’m not much of a morning person. In fact, I’m kinda mean at that hour. So it might be worth tuning in just for that. (Speaking…
As an avid baker, the one kitchen tool I rely on more than anything else is my KitchenAid mixer. And now you can have one in your kitchen too as part of Menu For Hope IV, raising money for the UN Food Programme in Lesotho. Through the generosity of KitchenAid, here’s your chance to win a brand-new KitchenAid Artisan® Series Stand Mixer. With the included…
This is the post I never thought I’d write. I never wanted to tackle madeleines. I thought they were something that…darn it…you just needed to eat when you’re in France. Like hamburgers and bagels, I didn’t think everything translated cross-culturally. If you wanted a madeleine, darn it, you came to France to have one. I mean, did you ever have a bagel in Banff? Do…
