Well, I mentioned recently that I was interested in the cookbook challenge posted at http://growandresist.com/2012/12/21/cook-the-books-a-cookbook-challenge/. I had borrowed the January and February selections from my local library, devoured them page by glorious page recently when I was ill and stuck in bed, and then finally got into the kitchen today…

I have liked to read (and be read to) since early on. We’re talking All. The. Time. Just ask my mother. She was so sick of Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss that by the time my sister was born, my mother didn’t read quite as much to Noel because…

Continue reading →: Pomegranates…
I have recently discovered this tangy, juicy fruit, thanks to quite a few cookbooks featuring some mouthwatering recipes I’ve come across. So far the most unusual has been for pomegranate fudge, which I have in my “to try” recipe file. I enjoy cooking with the already-sold-in-a-bottle juice, but I am learning to use the actual arils,…

Continue reading →: Cooking Magazines…
So tonight I picked up a few cooking magazines for inspiration…These are just a few of my “favs”. Believe me, I have a long list of publications I regularly check. These are just the lucky few that made it home. I can’t wait to try out some of the recipes.…

Not a native of the area, I have really come to enjoy living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There is no shortage of farmers’ markets in the area. The one closest to me — Root’s (pronounced “ruts” by those in the know) — is open every Tuesday all year long. I…
