Previous post: red bean chili. Next post: red pepper soup. Double chocolate layer cake. July 16, 2007. July 14, 2016. Jump to recipe,. Last week, when it was 95 hateful, humid degrees outside and the 13-block walk home had entirely sucked what traces of motivation remained out of me, I had what I still consider The Best Dinner Idea Ever: chocolate cake with chocolate icing and watermelon. I’ll give you a moment to absorb my utter genius. That is, if you are willing to share. Because this cake doesn&#...

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Gourmet Bargains and Cheap Apologies. I certainly live the city life, don't I? An entire publication devoted to cheap, good eats in the Bay Area, Napa to San Jose, oh my. But we're staying optimistic. We've already knocked one off of our list, Gourmet Carousel. On Franklin and Pine. Now, why should this Chinese restaurant in "Pacific Heights" be our first choice? No, it's certainly not an easy life we city goers lead. I'm not e...

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Friday, December 28, 2007. These Muffins Are Healthy, I Swear. Well look at me posting two days in a row. I guess this really means I’m on vacation with time to spare. I could certainly get used to this life. And (and this is truly worth a tad of bragging), I said I was going to make something and then I DID. Within twenty-four hours. I’m really on a roll. She asks for a bagel with cream cheese, only to lick every ounce of the cream cheese off without a bite...

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Monday, January 28, 2008. Lemon Wishes And Meringue Dreams. But I'm back, and I don't think there could be a better way for me to start back up again then with the newest Daring Baker delectable expedition. This time I was taken for a wild ride with lemon curd and meringue, in a combination so classic that it shames me to say, until now I'd never tasted lemon meringue pie. The recipe and idea came from Jen of Canadian Baker. Makes one 10-inch (25 cm) pie.

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. The View I Miss Already. Thanksgiving is over and now the true holiday season begins. I’ve returned from a few short days at home (as in where my family is) with a sense of nostalgia. It’s true that around this time of year I oft ponder those Turkey Days of childhood. At the time they seemed so picturesque: long wooden table, big family gathering, cousins galore. When did I last sit down for. Some places never change. We knew it w...

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. I got this particular recipe from the A16: Food Wine. Cookbook, but most recipes are fairly similar as far as I've seen. I used homegrown Meyer lemons, and I recommend avoiding the waxy grocery store variety. Freshly squeezed lemon juice as needed. 2 Carefully, open the four segments of each lemon and pack generously with salt. 6 Cover the jar tightly and leave it in your refrigerator three to four weeks. Adventures of the non-c...

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Polenta, Food for the Poor. So feel free to add your own mix of ingredients. Oh, and don't let the anchovy scare you off! It cooks down into nothing so that all you're left with is a nutty undercurrent. Polenta with Spicy Tomato Sauce, for one. 1/2 cup polenta, and water for cooking. 1 tbsp. olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 anchovy, finely chopped. 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes. 1 14 oz. can tomatoes, chopped. 3 Once the anchov...

City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Wholesome Fun With Whole Grains. Soup, we determined immediately. The BF was outvoted two to one (when I really want something I count as two). It just so happened that I had been wanting to try the Mushroom Barley soup from November’s. 8220;There’s no pearled barley.” I was deranged; I know because my voice hit those high octaves. Forty-five minutes later, after considering using hulled barley for close to ten minutes, we were a...

City by the Blog: Now What?
http://citybytheblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/now-what.html
City by the Blog. Adventures in San Francisco. Thursday, December 27, 2007. Christmas has come and gone. How did that happen? I’ve had six days off work. I’ve spent time with my family, chaotically Christmas shopped, wrapped and wrapped some more, baked pie after pie, not to mention a few dozen cookies, roasted a turkey, napped (maybe once) and yet, it feels as if I’ve done absolutely nothing. I’m not sure. Trying to figure out what’s next, I suppose. Baking From My Home To Yours. I guess the New Year ce...
