- A sunshine tulip and white sketches. 02/05/2013The tulips I brought back from Amsterdam last year are all in bloom, except for 3 Allium bulbs that I lost to greedy rabbits. I picked all white bulbs and got big surprise when a few of the carefully picked white bulbs turned out to be a bright sunny yellow! That is OK. Oh well, […]myfrenchkitchen

- Laundry day.. 05/06/2013Whether we love it or hate it, it needs to be done. Laundry. Washing. Some of us are lucky enough to just fill the laundry basket and someone else does the washing. And the ironing. Some of us do it all ourselves. I am one of those. Partly by choice and partly by force. Laundry […]myfrenchkitchen

I wish that, because I write a food blog, I could just pull a crown rack of lamb out of the drawer! When I do make something more involved I usually...

- A Little Summertime Blue 18/06/2013Blue is a natural for the great outdoors. There's the deep blue sea, and sea glass skies, the blue bird's wing, and a myriad of blue hued blooms. No wonder it makes us so happy when we bring it inside! I get a natural high when blue meets my eye. Here's a mini montage of Summertime Blue. Hope it does the same for you. . . .It's so sweet o […]

- Giveaway - natural organic and eco products 18/06/2013My daughter was very excited to tell me a couple of weeks ago about a subscription service she had signed up for. You get a box every month containing samples and full size products that are all organic and non toxic and echo friendly. She lives in America. As we discussed this we agreed that often we want to try out something new, but then never find it on […]

- kalio ayam (padang chicken curry)Last week I had three pound cakes on my kitchen counter. Hubs and second son love cake, a well documented fact on this blog, and I love baking. Still, a chocolate pound cake stacked on a coffee pound cake, atop a rum pound cake, may be a bit much. Even then, I'm toying with the idea of a mocha glazed walnut poundcake or perhaps, one riddled with nutty […]

- June MCG UpdateLots going on in the Militant Community Garden. Things are really moving along. We harvested broccoli last weekend. The beets keep coming and it's hard to keep up with them. We have a million strawberries, and I have already baked 2 cakes & muffins with them. I can't keep up with them either. This is the BEST cake in case you haven't made […]

- Getting my Ducks (and ducklings) in a Row 31/05/2013Heehaw, heehaw, heehaw. Do you really think that you can get that mama duck to follow you for a half mile? Honestly? Give it a try, but don't hold too much hope. Dear Friends, AWOL here. I know it, but I've had lots and lots of work to do and am just beginning to breathe easier. I sent in my entire manuscript, glossary, bibliography, author's […]

- Blossoms and Orange Olive Oil Cake 19/05/2013Tree blossoms. The yards are blanketed in them.+And the rhododendrons - they are late coming to spring's party - but they are here. They're pretty fleeting. One swirl of the Minnesota winds and they scatter. But everything is fleeting, isn't it? The days I thought I would never be able to walk through my home without stepping on a lego or a mi […]

- Snookums lays her first egg!At just on 5 months old (20 weeks), Snookums rushed into my Studio shortly after I let the girls out of the coop and headed straight for Kiep's old nest box on one of my art tables. After a lot of inspecting, scratching, packing and organising the grass neatly, she settled down to the serious business of laying. For the fact that it was her first egg […]

- Spicy Shrimp, Black Beans and Corn 16/06/2013If you don't see me posting quite as often in the next couple of months, it only means I'm outside enjoying our far-too-short Wisconsin spring and summer. My schedule is always more hectic during the spring and summer with a busier work schedule, many more yard chores, al fresco entertaining and my favorite summer sport - golf with my husband. It […]

As my students were leaving there were several BIG birds flying overhead with huge wingspans. At first we thought they were hawks. But no.... Turkey Buzzards. I have never seen them land on the barns before. Finished mowing the lawn after lunch....then spent some time readi […]

- Tummy Grumbles for Granola 21/04/2013“My tummy grumbles for that!” my youngest son said as he pointed to the jar of Granola I had made on whim the night before whilst he was tucked up in bed. There’s something nice about a big glass jar of granola sitting perched on the kitchen counter - don’t you think? I’m not sure what it is? It’s probably linked to my obsession with food and lifestyle mag […]

- Clean Out The Fridge Pasta 26/05/2011It's been a crazy time. We've been searching for a new receptionist at the clinic, and I seem to be the most computer savvy of the group. Scary, that. But anyway, it falls to me to put the ad in craigslist. A simple part time receptionist job, paying a mere $10 per hour, and I got over 200 responses the first day. After plowing through the first 30 […]

Why not? This intrigued me so I decided to use his [...]

- Caesar’s Sables and Warm Olive Tapenade with Preserved Lemon 15/06/2013If I plan to serve dip at a party, it’s always homemade. And, when I start thinking about what kind of dip to make, my next thought is that I really should make the crackers too. I have a recipe or two here and there for flatbreads that work with dips, but I didn’t have a good reference for a variety of crackers until now. Crackers and Dips by Ivy Manning, o […]

His hearty crow announces each new day.

- PROUD MOM OF A PUBLICITY HOUND 12/05/2013I open the magazine and show Mazy the photo of herself. She cocks her head to the left as if to say, “Huh. That’s me. What am I doing in there?” Then she smiles a full, see-my-molars grin. Of course. She always smiles; she’s a golden retriever. Columbia Living published another recipe spread of mine: “Simple Salads & Sandwich Spreads.” YEA! Seeing my wo […]

- Creamy Blueberry Pie 17/06/2013When I saw this recipe on Bunny's Warm Oven, I immediately thought: annual potluck. Maybe it's because it has some similar components to the Blueberry Crumble Cake I made for last year's potluck. I love blueberries. Who am I kidding? I love custard and crumble too. Not to mention that it looks delicious. So, I couldn't resist.We have […]

- Spicy Fresh Cherry Salsa 12/06/2013It’s fresh cherry season and time to take advantage of them while they are abundant in the market. Normally with fresh cherries I would make a clafouti, a baked French dessert of cherries baked in a thick flan-like batter and dusted with powdered sugar. But I was feeling more adventuresome and settled on a spicy fresh cherry salsa served alongside roasted po […]

I had the chance to receive a new Chef's Choice Classic WafflePro 852 this week. It did not take me long to unbox my new waffle maker and make my first recipe. On the box it says that it is made of superior non-stick, easy release coating a […]

We had a full day of clear bright sun today for the first time in weeks, and it completely filled the kitchen, putting a definiti […]
