Without sight…See.

March 26, 2014 dailyfrosting2 Comments

Yesterday in my yoga class, I decided to do as much of the class as I could with my eyes closed. I’ve noticed that in a yoga class, your state of mind can really run the gamut. Some days, I’m (we’re) feeling chatty and much talk and subsequent laughter ensues during the hour. Other days,… Continue reading Without sight…See.

Failing My Ancestors

October 23, 2013October 23, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

Sometimes the hardest things to master are the basics. I’ve read that the true test of a great cook is how well they can cook the simplest items. A roast chicken. A perfectly hard-boiled egg (no gray-green yolk…yuck!). Spaghetti. My nemesis, much to the probable chagrin of my ancestors, has been polenta. I can make… Continue reading Failing My Ancestors

Not One to Remain Dateless

September 25, 2013September 25, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

Been married for almost 18 years but I still love a good date. The fruit, that is (thank you for putting up with that opening sentence-I just had to do it). I’ve noticed, as I’m sure you have too, that there are some unsung foods out there. Ones that really are so good, but for… Continue reading Not One to Remain Dateless

Get Crackin’

August 29, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

Second day back at this and I’m going to hit you with a recipe. Why? Because I just about overdosed on lobster this summer and now am acutely aware of the enjoyment that this strange sea animal can bring a person. In years past, I have been the only lobster lover in my house. Kids… Continue reading Get Crackin’

A Little of a Lot of Greens

Week Four delivery of our CSA arrived this past Monday. I love driving over to the farm and seeing what is laid out on those folding tables for us. Good surprises are always enjoyable. Especially when fresh shelling peas are involved…I seriously can’t stop eating those things. We got a bag of them in our… Continue reading A Little of a Lot of Greens

Farm to Fork

June 25, 2013June 25, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

There’s a new way of connecting folks with their food sources these days and boy, is it a lovely one…Farm-to-Table or Farm-to-Fork (I’ve seen them called both) dinners. Held at local farms and utilizing the crops-of-the-moment, area chefs will dream up fabulous dinners and serve them under the stars. From the farm to your fork… Continue reading Farm to Fork

Uh-oh…Shrinkage

June 19, 2013June 19, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

There are two kitchen tools that just scare the sweet bejeezus out of me. The first is a deep fryer. Splattering bacon makes me crazy-nervous in the kitchen (horrible, irrational kitchen thoughts of grease splatters to the eyes), never mind an entire VAT of hot fryer oil, aka molten lava, in your kitchen. The way… Continue reading Uh-oh…Shrinkage

Put a Cape on Those Things

June 18, 2013June 18, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

The hot veggies or foods. They’ve all had their time in the culinary spotlight for a season or two. How does this happen? Are there marketers for veggies? It that a job? First there were pea tendrils. Appearing in vibrant soups and curling off of salads.Then, Miss Red Velvet sashayed onto the scene and totally stole… Continue reading Put a Cape on Those Things

Lettuce Begin the Season

June 7, 2013 dailyfrostingLeave a comment

See, I told you the end of the school year got busy for moms. Now that it’s officially June the kids are entering into the go-to-school-but-in-all-reality-do-nothing phase of the year, but the moms are still running around like crazy people trying to tie a big, red bow on yet another school season. Yesterday, I overslept… Continue reading Lettuce Begin the Season
