I’ve been hearing about this recipe for years now, so it was a delight to finally get to try it from the source. It is intended to be a low carb recipe- its author maintains a low-carb regimen- but now that I’ve published it here, there is apparently some contention over whether or [...]

English Muffins
Posted in afternoon tea, baked goods, recipes on Jun 13th, 2010
[updated 8/8/2010: edited, and now with photos!]
It took me a while to actually follow through on the comment from this post, but I finally made my own English muffins.
The dough for English muffins is softer and stickier than your usual bread dough. During the second rise, you form the muffins and let it rest on [...]
Caprese Stratas w/Basil, Tomato & Mozzarella
Posted in Italian, baked goods, brunches, dinners, recipes, regional on Jan 23rd, 2010
This recipe was passed along to me by my sweetie Dragonia. It’s definitely not the sort of thing Jack and I usually eat around the House of Cards, but I was intrigued by the use of nutmeg in conjunction with bruschetta-like ingredients, and it made for a nice change-up. Depending on your own culinary history, [...]

We discussed lamb stew at the Amber Horizons-SL Halloween Party, in sufficient detail that I simply had to follow through. Was going food shopping anyway…

Kumquat Nut Bread
Posted in baked goods, recipes on May 3rd, 2009
Lipby and I went to Florida this past winter to visit his parents. We arrived, coincidentally enough, during the Kumquat Festival, and we just had to go. We all took a shuttle bus into Dade City, and were treated to kumquats, whole and in various preparations. Lipz and I bought a huge box of meiwa [...]
Chunky Shroom Soup with Happy Flowers
Posted in lunches, ruminations, soups on Feb 1st, 2009
“Whataya want for lunch?” I ask Jack, from the kitchen.
He turns his head to look at me and lowers the Wii controller, instead of just flicking his eyes to the side, or ignoring me; it means he’s actually hungry. “I dunno,” he replies, shrugging. “What do we have?”
I heave the dirty pan from the morning’s [...]
Pulla
Posted in Christmas, afternoon tea, baked goods, recipes on Dec 23rd, 2008
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.
I saw photos of Pulla last year on Tastespotting, and thought to myself, “I’ll make those for next year.” So, I’m giving this Finnish bread to Lipby’s family this year instead [...]
Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Posted in baked goods, recipes on Dec 1st, 2008
Baking bread has always been something that intimidated me. I’ve made my share of failures– rounded lumps, hard as a rock, completely inedible.
It took me a while to understand how to work with yeast. I’ve become a fan of proofing yeast to make sure that it’s still active. I’ve included how to do this in [...]
Lussebullar – St. Lucia Buns

(photos by Quelconque)
Quelconque made these buns last year, and I was so enchanted by them that I had asked him for the recipe. They’re traditionally served on December 13th, which is the Saint’s day, but they look so delicious and perfect for cold days that you may consider making them earlier!

I usually think that the [...]
