The Pinkie-up zone: June 2010

http://thepinkie-upzone.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 4, 2010. How to clean and season your grill after every use. After cooking your food, leave your grill on high for a few minutes to burn off all the food residue. Then scrub it down with a brush. If your grill grate is ceramic, don't scrub it with the metal scraper at the end of your brush or it will scratch off the finish on the grates. Labels: 30 minutes with your grill. Not a fish lover? This recipe will win you over. The salmon is so flaky and infused with smoky flavor from the Cedar...

The Marvelous Misadventures of Mr. and Mrs. Bethany: What's in a name?!

http://adamandruthbethany.blogspot.com/2010/04/whats-in-name.html

The Marvelous Misadventures of Mr. and Mrs. Bethany. Thursday, April 29, 2010. What's in a name? The other day, I was buying an iced chai tea latte at panera (which, by the way, are amamamamamazzzing! And while the cashier man was ringing up my order, he looked at my receipt and asked, "Uh, Is your name Ruth? Please, don't tell me it's Ruth." I reply a bit baffled, "uh, yeah, that's my name." He then proceeds to say with a sense of discouragement or concern, "Oh, no! I'm guessing this is what he had in m...

The Marvelous Misadventures of Mr. and Mrs. Bethany. Monday, June 14, 2010. One could say this has not been my month in the realm of all things baking and cooking. Let me share with you my not-so-great moments in the kitchen. All of them having a unifying element: BURNIFICATION. Note this has all happened in the span of two weeks*. Making cookies for a group of friends that had come over to hang out. Short and simply: put the cookies in the oven, went back out on the porch to hang out, COMPLETELY.

The Pinkie-up zone: Brown Gravy

http://thepinkie-upzone.blogspot.com/2010/10/brown-gravy.html

Monday, October 11, 2010. This thick and dark gravy full of flavor and body can be used for any beef dish, from Beef Wellington to Prime Rib. It really adds the extra boost to an already-perfectly moist and tender slice of meat. In a sauce pan, saute:. 1 shallots, minced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. After the shallots and garlic are soft, about 5 minute, add:. 1 Tbsp. tomato paste. 2 Tbsp. butter. 2 Tbsp. all purpose flour. Stir together until the mixture turns brown. Then add:. 1/3 cup marsala or red wine.

The Marvelous Misadventures of Mr. and Mrs. Bethany: mmmm Whatcha say?!

http://adamandruthbethany.blogspot.com/2010/04/mmmm-whatcha-say.html

The Marvelous Misadventures of Mr. and Mrs. Bethany. Friday, April 9, 2010. Did you ever CRINGE. Upon hearing that saying in school? I wonder why it is? What causes this apprehension towards participation.are we lazy? Content with simply sitting and observing? It's funny how once we begin to participate, after crossing the bridge of apprehension and hesitation, we enjoy it and it's not that bad. Following that introduction.I ask, nay. You readers to participate (*everyone gasps! Here is the contest:.

The Pinkie-up zone: Anyway you slice it

http://thepinkie-upzone.blogspot.com/2010/05/anyway-you-slice-it.html

Sunday, May 23, 2010. Anyway you slice it. It's not too far from the truth to say that Seth fell in love with me for my pies. Not a big fan of eating apple pies myself, but I love making them and giving them away to friends. These were our thank you gifts to anyone who ever helped us with anything around a house of four college girls who couldn't seem to get any appliance to work properly. Through trials and errors, I've learned a few tricks over the years:. 1/2 tsp. salt. 15 sticks cold butter, cubed.

The Pinkie-up zone: October 2010

http://thepinkie-upzone.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. The only reason for the title of this post is a put a crown on my pie. Pecan pie is no where closely related to anything from the Roman Empire. But hey, if it has a crown, it might as well be of Ceasar. This Maple Butter Pecan Pie is so rich and delicious, it is guaranteed to convert any anti-pecan pie into a huge fan. It doesn't only taste good, it's also a beauty that will surely impress. You will need a small leaf cookie cutter for the decoration. 8 oz pecan halves, toasted.

The Pinkie-up zone: A taste of Italy

http://thepinkie-upzone.blogspot.com/2010/10/taste-of-italy.html

Monday, October 25, 2010. A taste of Italy. Note: I prefer sponge cake over angle food cake. They are pretty much siblings in the cake family, very similar. But for this recipe, sponge cake works much better. Angle food cake makes of egg white without the yolk. The beaten egg white is very glossy, making it a little more difficult to soak with coffee. Sponge cake works like. a sponge. 4 eggs, separated. 4 Tbsp. cold water. 1 Cup cake flour. 1 tsp baking powder. 2 Tbsp. Kahlua or rum. Combine and set aside.
