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: Lemonade, In The Shade, Made With A Rusty Spade?
“Lemonade, In the shade, Made with a rusty spade.” My dad used to sing this in the summertime, when we were making or drinking lemonade. I have a feeling, knowing my dad, that he didn’t have the words quite right. … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Cool Off With Lime Sherbet and Wine Spritzers
Wow, it’s been hot here. Yesterday was the first day in almost a week where the night’s news headlines didn’t begin with “Record Breaking Temperatures Today…” We’ve been over 100F/38C here for days. So when it gets this hot, I start … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Chicken Soup For The Body
Been a little under the weather this week, with an upset tummy. Which got me to thinking about the sorts of comfort foods one eats when sick. My all-time favorite, of course, is Mom’s Chicken Soup. Everybody’s mom makes it … 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: Adventures In Bento
It was bound to happen. See, my friend Melanie gave me a bento box for Twelfth Night. And so, sooner or later, it was inevitable that I would, in fact, commit bento. Came home last Sunday night after a weekend … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: Baba Ghanooj
From time to time (i.e., when I can’t think of anything better to post about), I think I’m going to use this space to muse about specific recipes. And I think I’m going to start this week with one of … Continue reading
Recipe Wednesday: More Recipe Book Natterings
Okay, since people seem to be interested, perhaps I should turn one of my weekly postings into an update on gathering recipes and compiling recipe collections. Perhaps that day shall be…Wednesday. Yeah, Wednesday. That’d be good. Right? So for the … Continue reading
New Year, Old Project: The Cookbook Update
Hello, and Happy New Year, interwebs! I decided to take last week off from blogging–from the internet in general, actually–which is why there were no postings last week. I probably should have announced it in advance, but it was a … Continue reading
