Mouth Heaven strikes again, and though this dish sounds like some kind of sleep aid pharma drug(pro-fit-eh-roll), it is all of that and more. Easy to whip up and easier to eat. You could even make a batch the morning of a party and freeze/refrigerate them as you can serve them cold with boiling chocolate [ READ MORE ]
Well I put the Mother I discussed in yesterday’s post to work today. I was able to create 2 loaves, each approaching 1 lb. Baking is fairly easy and pays big dividends, the majority of effort is spent waiting, considering this was the culmination of about two weeks of dreams and one week of anticipating [ READ MORE ]
I know that I have been baking for all of 2 weeks or so but I am immediately drawn to doing things as archaically as possible. For a few reason but mostly because I think there is intrinsic value in doing things yourself rather than buying things. So when I came across a recipe for [ READ MORE ]
My adventures cooking less than typical cuts of meat continues with this dish. I was aiming to cook up a lamb shoulder but market supply dictated that I use pork, and as a bonus pork is generally about 1/3 the price of lamb meat in Tucson. I also had to amend the recipe I was [ READ MORE ]

I’ve been looking forward to making some homemade hummus again, ever since my last food processor broke(I somehow melted the blade and the spindle together….) and yesterday my new one arrived. I already had prepared garbanzo beans from last weeks Chana Dal, and even after making this hummus I still have plenty of leftover beans. [ READ MORE ]
I still have some store bought yeast to use before I start baking with some homemade starter and my sous chef of a wife had a craving for some french bread. A quick search and I found a quick and easy recipe that I was able to modify to create 3 tasty baguettes[ READ MORE ]
Well there are many takes on guacamole especially in Southern Arizona, I tend towards a simple recipe. I justify this recipe because it tastes the best to me and if avocados cost so much more than the other ingredients then I want to taste them the most[ READ MORE ]
So I have been talking about going out for paella for probably about 2 years, but the only place that serves it in town only serves it one night week, unless you give them several days of advanced notice and with 4 or more people, not exactly an ideal method for getting your paella on.
