ReTorte: Epic Cabbage Roll Day - Redux
http://retorte.blogspot.com/2014/06/epic-cabbage-roll-day-redux.html
Thursday, June 19, 2014. Epic Cabbage Roll Day - Redux. I had a craving for cabbage rolls this week and cabbage was on sale at my favourite grocery store, T&T. Also, lean ground pork was on sale! Exciting times, let me tell you. So I spent Tuesday making a big pan of cabbage rolls, and they turned out fantastically! Here are some photos I took of my day. Yes, I put half a package of bacon over the top - and it was great! I was too lazy to fry it up and add it to the filling. This worked just as well.

ReTorte: Cookbook Review: The Casserole Queens Make-A-Meal Cookbook
http://retorte.blogspot.com/2013/10/cookbook-review-casserole-queens-make.html
Sunday, October 27, 2013. Cookbook Review: The Casserole Queens Make-A-Meal Cookbook. Well, it's that time of year again: fall. Not my favourite time of year at all, since the days get shorter, colder, and darker, and I tend to get moodier, more sluggish, and feel the need to indulge in a lot of comfort foods. And who doesn't love a good comfort food, really? And nothing says comfort food more clearly, more resoundingly than a casserole. Oh, how I luvs me a casserole! They seemed simple and involved ingr...

ReTorte: A Pair of Upside Down Cakes/Cooking with Betty Crackpot
http://retorte.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-pair-of-upside-down-cakescooking-with.html
Thursday, June 19, 2014. A Pair of Upside Down Cakes/Cooking with Betty Crackpot. It turned out superbly! The recipe for the cake is Betty Crackpot's Dinette Cake, and you can find that recipe here. Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Rhubarb Upside Down Cake. Same deal with the bottom, except rhubarb needs a bit of help. I used about a cup and a half of finely chopped rhubarb, and combined it with about 1/4 cup of sugar, and some cinnamon and ground ginger. Cooking with Betty Crackpot. The Wet Coast, Canada.

ReTorte: I'm Back!
http://retorte.blogspot.com/2014/03/im-back.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. So, where have I been and what have I been up to? Well that's a long story. The short story is that in Feb. I had a major health issue rear up before me - I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and heart failure. As a result, I have to be on a low sodium diet and also I must restrict my fluids to 1.5-2L of fluid per day. Easier said than done! Yep, I'm going to attempt to get back into food blogging. Plus I have a new added dimension: low sodium cooking. Well, pretty much! Tonight I ...

ReTorte: June 2014
http://retorte.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Blackberry Upside Down Cake. Yes, another upside down cake! I'm on a roll. I got the blackberries from a vacant lot next door to where I used to live up in North Surrey. They're a bit seedy and they are not the greatest tasting blackberries ever despite how beautiful they were on the bush, but they just need a little extra help with some sugar and they're fine. I made this cake two nights ago, once again using Betty Crackpot's Dinette Cake recipe. Friday, June 20, 2014. I just want...

ReTorte: Cooking With Betty Crackpot: Quiche Lorraine
http://retorte.blogspot.com/2014/04/cooking-with-betty-crackpot-quiche.html
Saturday, April 12, 2014. Cooking With Betty Crackpot: Quiche Lorraine. Making pie crust is no big deal, IMO. I don't know why. I don't do it more often. Perhaps I will. As far as sodium is concerned, well.I used low sodium bacon. I also used one cup of whipping cream and 1 cup of 1% milk instead of 2 cups of cream. I omitted the salt and sugar. Here is the recipe, from page 218 of the 1969 version of Betty Crocker's Cookbook. Pastry for a 9" one crust pie. 12 slices of bacon, crisply fried and crumbled.

Thursday, June 19, 2014. Cooking with Betty Crackpot: Pie Crust and Rhubarb Pie. I just wanted to post a pic of the rhubarb pie I made last week, from the rhubarb plant at my friends' place. Two of the friends were rhubarb virgins and one didn't care for the stuff. Well, I am happy to say I have made three rhubarby converts! I made them a pie, and here it is. The pastry recipe is Betty Crackpot's - again. It's a no-fail recipe, really. You can find it here. Labels: Cooking with Betty Crackpot. Greenwood,...
