Dinner Ideas

As the primary meal purveyor in the Waring household, I occasionally find myself completely bereft of ideas for the evening meal. More to the point, I sometimes find myself rather wanting in motivational impetus to cook. This wouldn't be a...

Northwest Vacation Breakfast

Back, rather belatedly I'll admit, to the Sunday regional breakfast vacations posts. I accuse actual honest-to-god travel as the culprit for the delay. This week's version was prompted by the purchase of some frozen salmon from Costco a few...

Eating Our Vegetables

I love Costco. I mean, I love Costco like I love bacon. And I really love bacon. Not as much as I love my wife but right up there, you know? Well, maybe not. No, I suspect that placing...

Naan!

As a bit of an addendum to the post on Indian side dishes, one essential part of the whole Indian dining experience, at least in our house, is a plate of naan. Naan is a flat bread common to...

Side Dishes

Mary found a superb deal recently on Amazon, of all places, for Indian food. I know, I know, so many questions come to mind. Like what is she doing surfing Amazon when there's site updates pending for Mousesavers? I...

New Orleans

Part Three of the Breakfast Travel Series   For a bit of a variant to the traditional Southern Breakfast, and as a means of giving a shout out to the city where most of my family lives, I did...

Breakfast Vacations - The Deep South

Continuing on with our series of Sunday breakfasts based on regional specialties, we come to a particular love of mine - the South. Ahh, Sunday mornings in Charleston growing up, how I enjoyed a sumptuous banquet of Southern specialties......

Community Supported Agriculture

Breakfast Vacations

Well, with Wall Street melting down and our 401(k)'s doing submarine imitations, we decided that frivolous vacation-like trips are on the back burner for a while. As opposed to frivolous business-like trips, which we have to do even if...

Joy

Mary and I were sitting around a few nights ago discussing cookbooks, because this is something people with wide ranging interests and a few glasses of wine under their belts do, if you ever wondered. I think the discussion...

Cookbook Archaeology - Graduate Studies

Ma's Cookin' is the third, and least, of the cookbooks our friend unearthed while clearing out her mother's house and was kind enough to give us.   The cookbook is copyrighted circa 1966 by Ozark Maid Candies, which interestingly...

Cookbook Archaeology 201

On to the second of the three cookbooks recently delivered into my hands. This one is the Wild Game Cookbook. Published in 1968 as a Remington Sportsman's Library Book, this volume consists of recipes submitted by the public to...

Cookbook Archaeology

On a recent visit a friend of ours (well, she's Mary's college chum, but I've wormed my way in on the buddy list, or so I've been led to believe - perhaps they're humoring me) brought me several "cookbooks"...
