Three Tarts: December 2005
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2005. If you want to try honey candy (don't blame me if it doesn't work out- I warned you about the blood requirement), here's the recipe:. I've also seen recipes that use 2 cups honey and 1 cup sugar. I've thought about trying that version, but I don't want to offend the ancestors. Posted by lis at 10:08 AM. Thursday, December 29, 2005. Deep, dark (and spicy! Have you ever wanted to pour a chocolate ganache into a cup, make sure nobody's looking, and just drink it? But since Tara ...

Three Tarts: reverse-engineering a lebanese dish
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2008/03/reverse-engineering-lebanese-dish.html
Monday, March 10, 2008. Reverse-engineering a lebanese dish. Because of my last-minute additions, the panko didn't stay crunchy, of course, after getting all mixed in, but that was OK because it ended up thickening the sauce just a bit. Posted by tara at 5:37 PM. Oh, and later I'll post the preserved lemon recipe that I use. Easy to do at home, and great in this dish. I plan on keeping a jar of these around at all times now! I'm so jealous. more details, please! The food sounds great too. Happy new year,...

Three Tarts: just in case you're sick of winter
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2008/03/just-in-case-youre-sick-of-winter.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Just in case you're sick of winter. Labels: colors that aren't gray. How will this grow in a city that gets 13 feet of snow? Posted by lis at 7:00 AM. Is there a farmer's market where you're going? Deborah Madison thinks there are farmer's markets everywhere, even in Alaska, so maybe it will be good, market-wise. There is a farmer's market in ottawa and there are several local food organizations, so i think i'll be ok. except for the snow. Never Trust a Skinny Chef.

Three Tarts: Squirrel, it's what's for dinner
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2009/01/squirrel-its-whats-for-dinner.html
Thursday, January 08, 2009. Squirrel, it's what's for dinner. Since moving to Ottawa, I have spent a lot of time watching squirrels scamper about. They are everywhere and they provide a certain amount of entertainment while I am sitting at my computer grading papers or standing at the kitchen sink washing dishes. They have also scared the shit out of me a few times by jumping up on the windowsill unexpectedly. The squirrels are everywhere. And they are sort of adorable. Posted by lis at 7:18 AM. Instead ...

Three Tarts: a candy-coated cruciferous Christmas
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2008/12/candy-coated-cruciferous-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 09, 2008. A candy-coated cruciferous Christmas. Found while searching for a recipe for chocolate-covered pretzels. For my in-laws' annual candy-making extravaganza. No one puts cauliflower in my chocolate. Posted by Sarah @ Baby Bilingual at 8:24 PM. Woah, that's funky. maybe this recipe came from one of those trick your kids into eating healthy by hiding veggies in snack food books. Never Trust a Skinny Chef. Spilt honey and fried frogs.

Three Tarts: January 2006
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2006. The best pizza crust. Yesterday, I made pizza with a dough recipe. Posted by lis at 6:39 AM. Friday, January 27, 2006. It's so good, I just ate a piece for breakfast. mmmm! Posted by tara at 10:32 AM. Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Now, I may just be impatient, but after about a week and a half in the jar, these lemons ain't shrinkin'. I suspect it's because the jar is too small to pack them in tightly. I'm afraid all I've got here is a jar of salty lemons. There's a real "secret ...

http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-like-theyve-been-waiting-for-me.html
Thursday, September 11, 2008. It's like they've been waiting for me. . . A bakery called 3 Tarts. In my neighborhood. It's fate, I tell you. Posted by lis at 7:12 AM. Were they authentic Canadian butter tarts? I don't really know what authentic canadian butter tarts are, but they were good. Is this in Ottawa? There is a bakery here by the same name. Yep, it's in ottawa. we just moved here a couple of months ago. you're in ottawa? Whoops, I am the same Judy in Ottawa. Never Trust a Skinny Chef.

Three Tarts: November 2005
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 27, 2005. Next weekend, I'll be getting together with my mother- and sister-in-law for their annual tradition of making Christmas candy. They each make two or three kinds and then share. They've invited me to join them in the kitchen, and now I'm looking for successful, festive recipes! Here's what they're planning on making: truffles, toffee, peanut brittle, and I forget what else. Anyone have other favorite candy recipes? Posted by Sarah @ Baby Bilingual at 4:05 PM. Calls for you to ad...

Three Tarts: oat-apricot bars (and a great springtime cocktail)
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2008/05/oat-apricot-bars-and-great-springtime.html
Sunday, May 11, 2008. Oat-apricot bars (and a great springtime cocktail). So what do you make when you're craving something sweet that's also portable for lunches and such, and you're also impatient for summer stone fruit to make its debut? CHOW's Crumbly Oat and Apricot Bars. Made with dried apricots and apricot jam, do the trick. Aren't those gorgeous? They turn out just like the picture. The crust reminds me of the salty oat cookies at Teaism. What did they do? Seriously, these are great. If Griffin h...

Three Tarts: off-topic post: the hokey pokey baby
http://threetarts.blogspot.com/2008/01/off-topic-post-hokey-pokey-baby.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2008. Off-topic post: the hokey pokey baby. As we had noticed in his 20 week ultrasound, Griffin does indeed have the pointy little Duex family chin. He weighed in at 7 lbs 12.5 oz and 20 inches long with light brown hair and plenty of it; we can't decide if his eyes are dark blue or grey. He's home with us now- he and "Maman" are doing well. We love him. And that's what it's all about. Posted by Sarah @ Baby Bilingual at 8:26 PM. So excited for you guys. What a sweetie. Sarah and Ed,.
