Had a crazy afternoom last Tuesday. Had pumpkin home from kinder sick (again- aaaaah! and it’s only the beginning of winter!) and so with no taxi duties to perform in the afternoon (picking up and dropping off small people) had a sudden wash of warm, housewifely, momsy good feeling wash over me and decided to [...]

While Democrats play political games with a free trade agreement with Colombia and Hillary and Obama argue for higher levels of protectionism, Republicans continue to attach themselves to prudent macroeconomic theories that encourage trade and [...]
An apple pie is a type of fruit pie where the main ingredients are cooking apples. Pastries generally cover both the top and bottom of an apple pie, making a double-crust pie. But who invented the apple pie? This article will answer exactly that question and also look at three interesting facts about apple pie.
Finalmente ho di nuovo un pò di tempo libero per aggiornare questo mio blog. Mi spiace non essere più tornata per un mese, non ho davvero avuto tempo per cucinare e fare foto, sono sempre di corsa tra lavoro e studio. Ed in effetti neanche la ricetta che sto per postare è mia, ma era talmente buona che meritava di essere la ricetta del ritorno.

It’s too latePuede ser demasiado tarde, no para las manzanas que todavía pueden encontrarse (de relativa buena calidad) y sí para los higos. Qué soy, manzana o higo. Se han ido todos, pero tenía estas recetas pendientes de aquella época, las tres, esta semana el poco tiempo que he tenido lo he dedicado al chocolate. Los higos llegan y se van, no como los otros “hijos”, que se quedan mientras pueden.La tarta de manzana es un clásico de la cocina inglesa y de allí viajó hasta USA, en dónde se ha convertido en un postre muy popular. Tenía que hacerla, malo sería que en un ¿blog de cocina? no hubiese una referencia a este clásico. Los otros dos son algunas de las (deliciosas) formas para dar salida a ese problema que surge cuando, allá por octubre, nos vemos rebosando de higos que se deterioran con mucha facilidad. Demasiado tarde, pero para el próximo año ya tenemos dos nuevas ideas, más allá de las mermeladas, compotas o aquella tarta con una base de masa quebrada

I'm making an Apple Cranberry Pie to bring to Lon's aunt Ilene's house for Thanksgiving. I've made this pie several times and always use different apples depending on what's available in the farmer's market. I love baking with Mutsu apples and Granny Smith's but I didn't see good ones available so I used Cameo's and Jonagold's. It's a perfect Thanksgiving pie to share because it makes a nice presentation and tastes great.Of course you also need a good pie crust. The recipe I used for a double crust calls for 2/3 cup shortening. I used 1/3 cup butter and 1/3 cup vegetable shortening in attempt to get the best of both worlds. Vegetable shortening (like Crisco) has a a higher melting point than butter and is easier to work with but, has no taste. Using some butter, gives the pie crust that buttery flavor we love.
At my house, oven space is at a premium on Thanksgiving morning. Last year I came across this recipe for sweet potatoes in Desperation Dinners, a syndicated recipe column. I found it interesting that it was microwaved and not baked.
I grew up on the traditional baked candied yams with loads of butter, brown sugar [...]

They get older and friends become important. [...]
