2021 Gregory Gourdet & JJ Goode I like this cookbook, BUT he uses toooo many ingredients I’m not gonna run out and buy or attempt to make. Am I lazy? No, just not motivated. I know my limitations. He writes about eating a lot of junky stuff, etc. and decides to start eating right. His…… Continue reading Everyone’s Table
Tartine All Day: Modern Recipes for the Home Cook [A Cookbook]
by Elisabeth M. Prueitt 2017 Cousins gave me this cookbook. I’ve had it for awhile and just really started reading the recipes. She uses a lot of different flours that I don’t have in my pantry.

Orzo & Housing & Tomato Sauce
I don’t know jack about pasta. I have to look it up when I see the names. Maybe I should go to Italy and hang out for at least 3 months and soak up the culture and learn the names of pasta! Orzo is hard to find. Maybe I don’t go to right places? Normal…… Continue reading Orzo & Housing & Tomato Sauce

I just couldn’t resit getting a box at least once. Included in this box: Pemba Cloves- that’s some fancy cloves Toasted Onion- Will definitely…… Continue reading SPICE CLUB
This morning
The motion light was going on and off all night. I’m thinking is it a zombie on the side of the house? Nah, dog would be barking. Critters? Probably!

EXTRA ZUCCHINI??
Try this: Grate your zucchini. If it’s a big one divide portions in 1/2. Sautéed in butter with a little bit of salt. When it’s cooked, add one egg and scramble. (Note: I find it easier to cook individual servings) Plate up and add soy sauce. Tastes like Egg Foo Young without the gravy! RECIPE…… Continue reading EXTRA ZUCCHINI??
