Choice of Pies: May 2009
http://choiceofpies.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. Happy Memorial Day, everyone! What are you up to? No cook-outs for us today - we're just lounging at home, working on our film notes (for Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry. And Douglas Sirk's Written on the Wind. And updating our "Six Feet Under: Death and Dying in the Movies" series proposal (first vote on Fall 2009 series takes place at tonight's meeting). French fries. You put ketchup on french fries, right? From there it's one step to the sandwich itself. Delicious! 1 S Main St.

Tuesday, November 25, 2008. When Mom turned to me during the car ride down to the train station and declared, "I have to get a bagel before we leave the city! Salt bagel with veggie cream cheese. Mmm. Links to this post. Monday, November 24, 2008. The Harrison, NYC. Above is Mom's appetizer of black mission figs with blue cheese and prosciutto; it was absolutely delicious and something we will definitely make at home. It's such a simple but satisfying combination. And here is the dish that caught my eye ...

Choice of Pies: This Should Help
http://choiceofpies.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-should-help.html
Monday, April 13, 2009. I also bought some Fiber One toaster pastries as a grab-and-go breakfast option; since I can no longer set my own work (and therefore sleep) hours, I may be in a rush some mornings and I figure one of those plus an apple is better (and cheaper) than heading to the Dirt Cowboy (local coffee shop) for a steamer and a pastry. Those boxes are life-savers! We are fortunate to live close to an Ikea as well. Its a lot of fun shopping there :) And the prices are extremely reasonable.

Choice of Pies: hot weather meal
http://choiceofpies.blogspot.com/2009/05/hot-weather-meal.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Now that the weather has turned, I can barely convince myself to turn on the stove. Our kitchen has a big, beautiful skylight through which the sun pours in, which is lovely, but also hot. Once the temperatures get up above 85 or so, the kitchen stays hot. That's when I turn to our little countertop grill ( a George Foreman model we bought a couple of years ago). This was a; mixed together and then made into patties. May 25, 2009 at 2:59 PM.

Choice of Pies: Daring Bakers: Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake
http://choiceofpies.blogspot.com/2009/04/daring-bakers-abbeys-infamous.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Daring Bakers: Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake. The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge. To top it off, I dipped some strawberries in dark chocolate. Delicious! I would definitely recommend this cheesecake recipe. It's definitely rich, but not so rich that just a bite or two makes you say, "Enough! This post is already long, so I'll post the recipe separately. Chocolate being my favorite of course ;).

Choice of Pies: Sandwiches, part 1
http://choiceofpies.blogspot.com/2009/04/sandwiches-part-1.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Sandwiches, part 1. But there is one caveat: throw a sandwich, even one I would normally gag at, on the grill, and bingo! I'm salivating. I think I first encountered the concept of panini when I first went to London at seventeen; there were a lot of little panini shops near my fashion school in the Tottenham Court Road area, and, other than the carrot-ginger soup from Pret a Manger, the panini became my favorite lunch option. Strange isnt it ;)? April 15, 2009 at 8:48 AM.
