Caterpillar Bread with Beer and Bratwurst

I’ve had Caterpillar Bread on my ToDo List since about 2005 when I saw it posted on a cooking forum. I do remember seeing a similar recipe in one of my very first cookbooks either “Better Homes and Gardens” or “Good Housekeeping” published sometime in the early ’70s. Originally the Caterpillar Bread was made with [...]

Meatball Salad

Well it happened again! Mr. Tastebuds was watching his Saturday cooking shows and I happened to wander into the family room to rest a minute and I found some inspiration for another great dish. On a side note…Why am I always the one that sits down to rest a minute whereas Mr. Tastebuds is half [...]

Baked Brie with Fresh Apples and Toasted Almonds

When Mr. Tastebuds and I were first married we would meet all our friends at T.G.I. Fridays for Happy Hour. We had so much fun and after a few cocktails we would all start ordering appetizers.

Escargo with Garlic Brandy Butter and Sourdough Semolina Bread

It seems like forever since I last posted but it’s only been two days! But whenever there’s a big holiday, I always seem to lose a day or two. I had so much fun this year with Christmas, but I am exhausted….totally exhausted. But I still have New Years to prepare for but that will [...]

So far I am harvesting herbs, parsley, onions and most importantly Garlic Scapes! This is the first time I’ve grown garlic. Garlic is a winter crop, planted in October and then harvested [...]

Lemon Bag Cheese

A few months ago I called, Danny Murphy, an old college friend. I am so glad that Danny and I have kept in contact all these years. During our conversation David Warda’s name came up and Danny said that in the late ’90s David had published a cookbook consisting of recipes from his Assyrian heritage. [...]

Since my blog is on hiatus until after Thanksgiving, I thought I would post my proposed menu. I can’t make too many changes or else Mr. Tastebud’s gets upset! Poor guy is still recovering from when I brined the turkey in a trash can last year so I can’t push it too much. The brined [...]

Pain a l’Ancienne and Croque Madame or Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwich!

November 19, 2009
Croque Madame

Pain a l’Ancienne is another fermented recipe that I thoroughly enjoyed making for Bread Baker’s Apprentice. It was an easy recipe with just mixing the dough, refrigerating over night and then forming the loaves in the morning. And it was a fantastic bread to eat! Since this is football season I do try and make [...]
