rubyjune's cafe: First Post Evah
http://rubyjunecafe.blogspot.com/2007/10/first-post-evah.html
Thursday, October 18, 2007. Alright, first posting. I thought to be nervous about it but then remembered the measley piddling unimportance of my blogspace existence, and knew such anxiety would be a pretty arrogant concern. Last night I made homemade ravioli stuffed with crab and tarragon, topped with a lemon goat cheese cream sauce and smoked salmon. Mix in food processor then knead for 5min till smooth and elastic. Form into ball, cover with a towel and let rest 15 minutes. My pasta roller flattens dou...

rubyjune's cafe: Yep, That's A Room
http://rubyjunecafe.blogspot.com/2011/12/yep-thats-room.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. Yep, That's A Room. Since Saturday we've gone from this. Tonight they should be all done and it will be white. In addition, Rick has promised to score me 4 new dining room chairs that perfectly match our table, and I can begin decorating for Christmas. Why, you ask, do your dining room chairs not. Well, it's complicated and kind of a long story: I'm cheap. See, now you understand. I knew you would once I explained. So, won't you stay for dinner? We have decorating to do!

Sunday, July 10, 2011. Grilled Turkey Meatballs with Grilled Naan. I'm loving buying cheap cuts of meat and using the grinder attachment to grind the meat. We did lamb burgers the other day- 4 burgers from $6 worth of lamb shoulder! Today I thought about turkey, since we love turkey burgers. Nobody, that's who. Nobody tosses naan. And the naan, recipe here. Will also be done on the grill. Grilled bread, meat on a stick.what more could one wish for? 1 cup greek yogurt. 1 tsp olive oil. Dash of garlic salt.

Sunday, June 26, 2011. Another bread post, not really showcasing my talents, but the chile relleno omelettes got eaten too quickly for photos this morning. I wanted to make a loaf of bread to enjoy with all our fresh garden tomatoes, but it always gets moldy so quickly that I thought rolls might be better for storage. Gratuitous Fruit Shot: heirlooms and big boys. So, I threw these together this morning. 4 tbsp olive oil. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 1/4 tsp (or 1 packet) yeast. Then place in muffin tin&#...

rubyjune's cafe: Floor complete, rotten wall coming down
http://rubyjunecafe.blogspot.com/2011/12/floor-complete-rotten-wall-coming-down.html
Sunday, December 18, 2011. Floor complete, rotten wall coming down. The window was going to move to the right wall here, but since that faces west- we're thinking no window. Siding to be added here today- board and bat on top, lap board on the bottom, with a shelf separating them. Wish I could paint the brick now but that's for later. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

rubyjune's cafe: Renovation Completed In The Nick of Time
http://rubyjunecafe.blogspot.com/2011/12/renovation-completed-in-nick-of-time.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. Renovation Completed In The Nick of Time. All done for now- minus flooring and some trim, but it certainly feels done. It's huge! Our Christmas tree came from our front yard. It's a little pathetic but deserving of love too. I really need to invest in a better camera. That's a metal bat that my brother welded for me! Justin and Lacy enjoying the new space. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. View my complete profile. Yep, Thats A Room.

rubyjune's cafe: August 2012

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Getting Back In the Groove. My friends have informed me that anything funny I say on Facebook is cheating those who prefer to read my wit via blog. I haven't been here in a while, they are right about that. So, I'm back. I'm not saying I'm going to be here much, but I'll try harder. After a new job, a relocation to San Antonio, house sale-and-buy, and adjusting to a new home, I finally feel like maybe I have time for this. And I have been cooking. Just not for you.

Sunday, February 5, 2012. No More Boxed Pasta. Poor Taste Tester. He's not allowed to bring salsa, cookies, or any type of bottled sauce into the house. And that list keeps getting longer: now it's no more Worcesterchire sauce (made it), no pies (come on), and pasta (the subject of today's post). Before (clearly I've become a bit more optimistic since then, in that post I thought I could never do this right). New Floors and Really, Truly Finished Remodel. After the busy holidays, January took off like a ...

rubyjune's cafe: May 2011
http://rubyjunecafe.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. I've made 3-layers cakes, countless loaves of bread, pizza and creme brulee, but biscuits still intimidate me. Added to the intimidation was a bit of disdain, since I rarely crave them anyway. This recipe solved both problems because it's all about cheese. The results are buttery, savory, with the right amount of crumble, and all about cheesy flavor. And it was a nice way to celebrate May 22nd, a.k.a. "Jesus Called In Sick for the Rapture" Day. 3 tbsp baking powder. Next I want to m...

Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Chicken Pot Pie, Made From Scratch. Taste Tester has the flu, so chicken soup was on my radar but sounded so Blah. Almost as blah as a milk frother, but not as blah as Dan Patrick. This is not blah. In fact, this has a VERY exciting ending, which you shouldn't cheat and skip down to, but rather let the suspense build. But that's for another time. So my pie pastry was this, blended in the food processor until it formed a ball and cleared the sides:. 1/2 cup butter (chill). By no...
