International Pie For Breakfast Day
Posted in baked goods, breakfasts, desserts, holiday on Feb 13th, 2009
“A holiday for the people,” say my friends, who have taken the world by storm in creating this day.
International Pie for Breakfast Day (or IP4B) will be celebrated on the second Saturday in February, which happens to be tomorrow. If you choose to celebrate (and I hope you will), please write a comment with a [...]

I usually make cookies for the holidays. I don’t know why, but this year, I didn’t feel like making the multitudes that I usually do.

Mari’s Pumpkin Roll Dessert
Posted in baked goods, desserts, holiday, recipes on Oct 8th, 2008
Mari makes this for her Thanksgiving celebration. When she described it to Dragonia and I one night sitting around the Bevin fountain, I remarked that it sounded kind of like a Yodel. She didn’t know what that was, though. And while you can’t carry two entire pumpkin rolls in your lunch box, I’d warrant the [...]
serves 8 as one part of a holiday feast, or 4 cheese-lovers as a main course
In reality, this is not my fondue, a recipe created by me: it is classic cheese fondue, the dish prepared traditionally. You can find what follows, with only slight variation, in any cookbook on the topic. But for some reason, [...]
