Recipe Wednesday: Blasts From The Past
I’ve got some new cooking adventures to tell you about (including the easiest curry you’ll ever make), but Beloved Husband and I keep eating all the evidence before I can remember to take pictures of it. So that’ll have to … Continue reading

Recipe Wednesday: If At First You Don’t Succeed…
Not every recipe I try comes out perfectly the first time. Case in point: Last week, after our shopping expedition to the oriental market (see last week’s entry), we decided to take the plunge and try making Hot and Sour … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: A Walk On The Wild Side
Last weekend, Beloved Husband and I decided we needed to take a trip to our local Large Asian Supermarket. The one closest to us is an H-Mart, a chain with stores mostly on both coasts, but a few scattered here … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Spice of Life
Last week I talked about stocking foods in my pantry. I like to keep certain staples on hand to use as the basis of meals, and as emergency meals (in a pinch). Things like canned goods, pasta, frozen meats, etc. … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Stocking Up
Hullo, blog. (pets gently) I know. I’ve neglected you dreadfully. And I am sorry. I’ll try to do better. Things haven’t been terribly exciting, I’m afraid. In fact, the most exciting thing we’ve done in the past few weeks is … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Dinner Improv – Faux Risotto
I have to admit–one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen is to poke through the fridge and cupboards and invent a dish from what I find. In our house, lately, that’s meant a lot of tuna casserole, … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Apple Butter Of The Gods
People who know me probably know I’m not much of a fruit eater. My mom says I never was, even as a baby. Bananas are the worst. I can’t even take a bite without triggering a gag reflex. I’m told … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Still More Tea Sandwiches
Some friends of mine and I recently held a little steampunk tea party at the Denver Botanic Gardens. It’s becoming an annual tradition for us, and one we enjoy greatly. This time out, I once again prepared Curried Egg Salad … Continue reading

Recipe Wednesday: Ancient Vegetables
Hi! Back with more pictures of food prepared from recipes from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, at the recent SCA Known World Cooks and Bards event held in Woodland Park, CO. This week, I’m going to feature vegetable dishes, and … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Tarts and More Tarts
(Sorry this is late. Last night, I got hijacked by a sudden and inexplicable urge to deep-clean my fridge. Three hours later….) So a couple of weekends ago, I went to–essentially–a medieval food symposium. Friends of mine were cooking the … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Medieval Food Porn
One of the skills I’ve been trying to practice has been photographing food. So since I’ll be at the SCA’s Known World Cooks and Bards event this weekend, and since a good friend of mine is cooking the feast, I … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Currying Favor
I had a deprived childhood. I grew up without curry. My dad was never fond of curry to start with, and the fact that he spent several months in Pakistan at one point didn’t help at all. So Mom never … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: More Tea Pictures
Hi, everyone! I’ve got a few more photos from our recent tea party at AnomalyCon. Sadly, we don’t seem to have gotten a picture of everything, but we got as much as we could before the locusts descended…er, I mean, … Continue reading

Recipe Wednesday: Pictures From An Exhibition…er, Tea Party
As promised last week, I have a few quick photos from last weekend’s steampunk tea party at AnomalyCon. Note that Beloved Husband took many more (and probably better) pictures, but I grabbed a few as well. I’ve been wanting to … Continue reading

Recipe Wednesday: My Favorite Tea Sandwiches
This weekend, some friends and I are planning a potluck tea/picnic with friends while we all attend a local steampunk convention. Like most convention venues, dining options are limited, so we decided to bring our own. I’ll post pictures and … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Meatballs From History (Part 3 of 3)
For our third excursion into “Meatballs From History,” I present a dish called “Golden Apples”. Medieval and Renaissance-era cookery texts contain numerous examples of “illusion foods” — foods that are disguised as other foods, or even non-food objects. One of … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Meatballs From History (Part 2 of 3)
My next entry in my “Historical Meatballs” collection is embarrassing, in a couple of ways. The first is because I’ve been making these yummy meatballs for at least ten years now, and for almost all of that time, I’ve been … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: More Meatballs: Meatballs From History (Part 1 of 3)
After posting some of my favorite meatball recipes last week, I realized that I had more to share. As some of you may know, one of my interests is historical cookery: looking at cookbooks and manuscripts from various historical periods … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Once Upon A Meatball…
First, apologies for not posting last week. Beloved Husband and I were off celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. Next time, I’ll try to plan ahead a little better. This week, I thought I would share three of my favorite meatball … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Sympathetic Cookery
So on Monday, I got out of work early and hustled myself over to the dentist’s office for my check-up…only to learn that my appointment was for Tuesday at 4:00, not Monday. Well, dang. I guess it’s better to show … Continue reading
