Ann Rants: Return of the Shoulder Pads: Scariest Trend Ever.
http://annrantsandraves.blogspot.com/2009/05/return-of-shoulder-pads-scariest-trend.html
Return of the Shoulder Pads: Scariest Trend Ever. I will just start this post off with a HUGE Sideshow Bob-style shudder. So wrong} } } } } } }. I could be overreacting, of course; I just saw a tweet that shoulder pads are coming back into style this year and was instantly transported back to looking like a fifth-grade female football player. Trauma! Thank goodness I now have the self-confidence to say, "Fuck you, hideous trend! Keep your absurd fashion laws off my body! 14 May, 2009 10:51. Also one of t...

One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. Since we had a baby, time's been at a premium. I am given yet another reason to love couscous; it's definitely new-parent friendly with its quick cooking time. Lately, I've been eating whole wheat couscous, which I was delighted to find doesn't taste very different at all from regular couscous. More whole grains are always a good thing. Wouldn't that make your season merry and bright? Okay, anyway, speaking of lack of sleep (we were, weren't we? In addition t...

ann loves food: biscuit-y goodness
http://annlovesfood.blogspot.com/2010/10/biscuit-y-goodness.html
One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. When I think 'biscuit', I think of Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen, of light, fluffy, buttery, flaky, salty, warm, stupefyingly good, ode-worthy biscuits in the finest Southern tradition. Their biscuits are the epitome of biscuity goodness. I've tried for years to come near that level of unbelieveable yumminess and textural delight, but to no avail. I mean, I've made some decent biscuits over the years, but nothing like the Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen. Keep your butter a...

ann loves food: Desperate times call for a delicious lunch.
http://annlovesfood.blogspot.com/2010/06/desperate-times-call-for-delicious.html
One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. Desperate times call for a delicious lunch. Wow I'm typing this as I savor the results of a successful kitchen experiment, and watching the world's cutest baby insert her foot into her mouth with joy and aplomb. (If only foot-in-mouth stayed cute; ditto for chubby thighs.). With a baby around, it's hard to find the time to cook elaborate meals, let alone blog about them. Honestly, I don't know how Deb. 1 can tuna (6 oz). 1 and 2/3 c water (divided). While tha...

One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. Breakfast hors d'oeuvres, anyone? I threw a brunch party and was surprised, when creating the menu, at the lack of breakfast hors d'oeuvres out there. In addition to serving french toast fingers and silver dollar pancakes, I invented a couple bagel-based treats that were pretty easy and tasty. Next time, I want to experiment with mini quiches. Smoked Salmon Breakfast Tapas. Red onion, minced/food processed. Fresh dill, chopped. Honey nut cream cheese. 1/4 c w...

One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. I created a little semi-roasted topping for these fusion-frittatas which I'll also post here, but one of the great things about potatoes and eggs is that they're so easy to pair with other stuff; feel free to invent your own topping out of whatever leftover veggies you have in your fridge. 1 lb potatoes, washed and peeled. Fresh ground sea salt. Red Pepper, Garlic and Tomato Topping. 1-2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 - 1/2 red pepper (about 2 tablespoons), diced.

One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. Wintertime Classics: Chowder and Bread. Technically, autumn lasts for nearly two more months. But since it's been snowy and below freezing here for the last two days, I'm going right ahead with the winter comfort foods. The corn chowder is adapted from the world's greatest slow-cooker cookbook,. Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow-Cooker. A similar technique is used in the corn chowder, which is also lactose-free but still nice and chowdery. I like this recipe...

http://annlovesfood.blogspot.com/2010/04/brunchy-joy.html
One woman's adventures in cooking and baking. Ever have an ingredient that you love so much, you just want to use it every day til it runs out? Me, too. Especially when it comes to fresh produce; we had asparagus in our meals four nights in a row last week. This week, I picked up two 2-pound bags of Klamath Pearl baby potatoes on sale at the health food store, and now when I'm not eating them, I'm dreaming up recipes for them. Ann's Homefries (the marvelous expanding recipe). 1 Tbs butter per person.
