breadwinecheese: April 2010
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Friday, April 23, 2010. Yes, I know, my god, why is she posting more pictures about that damn garden of hers? I've got several new cookbooks to brag about, too. Several being an understatement: two came in the mail already and I'm waiting on two more. Amazon Marketplace can be addictive. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Peppers and tomatoes on side patio, that small red pot is full of fennel seeds. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

breadwinecheese: June 2010
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Monday, June 21, 2010. I've always been a fan of Jamie Oliver, owning four cookbooks and two of his DVD series The Naked Chef. And Jamie at Home. Allow me to highly recommend the latter for winding down after a very stressful day. Watching him and Brian, his gardener, putz about, discussing bugs and greens and the weather, then watching what Jamie does with his fresh ingredients all make for a very soothing presentation. And there you have it. Links to this post.

breadwinecheese: May 2011
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Thursday, May 26, 2011. I'd like to post some lovely, updated photos of my garden for you to say "God, more photos AGAIN? Admittedly, I'm angry that this happened, all my hard work taken away by trash men; a fair amount of money and time lost; and what could have been my best crop ever of tomatoes and peppers, really interesting varieties that I was looking forward to sharing. Gone, just that like, with absolutely no way for me to have prevented it. And, just to ...

http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2012/05/garden-update-day-12.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Garden update: Day 12. I am very pleased to announce great progress in my garden. I've had to battle early-morning slugs, which have thoroughly chomped through my basil, but my toms and peps are thriving and I've got greens making an appearance. And other things. Take a look. Mixed chicory blend (top); French Breakfast radishes (m); Parisienne carrots (bottom, r); arugula (bottom, m); and Thai chili pepper (bottom, l). Bucks County, PA.

breadwinecheese: August 2010
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Thursday, August 12, 2010. I've made bagels before but I had to share this with you:. True bagel success. Using the recipe for water bagels. From King Arthur flour I made some this morning. I don't believe I'll be using my old recipes again. This particular batch used a product called non-diastatic malt powder. Links to this post. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Way to guilt-trip the kiddies, clown. I have seen commercials recently, marketed specifically at children, e...

breadwinecheese: February 2011
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Friday, February 25, 2011. Guest post: Response to Bittman post. And I worked together some years ago at a publishing company, when I was a struggling vegetarian and she was (and still is) a dedicated vegan. I have since returned to a diet that includes meat and poultry. Below is a comment she left on my Mark Bittman post and I think it's too valuable to be buried beneath my rant. Thanks, Jen. Interesting post.I agree with some. But I think that despite all that,...

breadwinecheese: January 2011
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Friday, January 14, 2011. Julie and Julia, a belated, very brief review. That being said, like many people, I found the "Julie" part of the movie cringe-worthy, unwatchable, unbearable, you name it. So I cheated and fast-forwarded it once I got through the initial introductory scenes. The scenes where Julie dons pearls, and Julie makes pie, and Julie this and Julie that. It was never really about the food, it was all about Julie! It was always "Look! Will run ove...

breadwinecheese: Two quirky girls and a pie
http://breadwinecheese.blogspot.com/2011/06/two-quirky-girls-and-pie.html
In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Two quirky girls and a pie. The week before Memorial Day, my local buddy Laura Freed. It would be overwhelmed in the filling and we wanted it to be separate, not just a blended ingredient. We decided it should go in the crust. And behold, the Pecan Pie w/Bacon Crust was born. (Yeah, we didn't give it a fancy name. I mean, really, it's all about the bacon, anyway.). Here is the finished dough:. Particularly in a pie. A very good pie. T...

In my kitchen, talking to the backsplash. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Cupcake mafia: Recipe Review: Pumpkin Chai Cookies. I'm not quite sure what the protocol is for clicking on the "Blog This! Button on a post on someone else's site; however, this recipe sounded so good that I wanted to share. I haven't made these as of yet (I just haven't had time this week) but I am hoping to get to them this weekend. If anyone beats me to them, please let me know. They sound amazing. Links to this post. Apparently,...
