I have one kitchen gadget that I know people 100 years from now will look at and ask, “What the heck is that?” The gadget is the ice cream maker attachment for the KitchenAid mixer. It is a large bowl that fits on the mixer with a stirring paddle that attaches where you’d normally attach […]

As you may remember, we had a little trouble with popovers last time we tried. Luckily we don’t give up easily. Our latest attempt was a lot more successful. I am not sure what the difference was, but this time I was careful not to over-beat the batter. Give it a try and let us […]

Last time I was at Sur La Table I saw this interesting little herb grower. It uses a hydroponics technique to grow herbs quicker. There is a spray bar which mists the roots with water and nutrients. There is a larger version that looks similar to the AeroGarden, however this compact version looks like it […]

I will be the first to admit that this is a bit of an obscure dish. Fine, it is down right weird. Carolyn was definitely skeptical when I brought home two frozen fish cheeks that still had the fins attached. Fortunately the results were very tasty. The “collar” is actually what it sounds like–the collar […]

Pasta Puttanesca is one of our favorite pasta dishes. It’s basically our “go-to” pasta recipe. The other day we were getting ready to make it and went to cookography to look up the recipe, only to discover that we’ve never posted it! A serious oversight on […]
