Leftovers are rarely an issue in this house, not because we eat gobble everything down, we have no problems eating leftovers. However on big meal days, like Thanksgiving (or when I seem to have no sense of “there’s only two of us”) leftovers can eventually become a put off. You just loose your taste for […]
Every year I teach a Turkey 101 class, we cover all you need to know about preparing the star of the show for Thanksgiving. For class we deep fry a turkey, usually McGyver is out in the freezing cold (this year it was 4°F) while I jabber on about turkeys and the attributes of boxed […]
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is but a week away? I’m so very excited for this Thanksgiving! My dearest friend Jen and her boy Jake are driving from Spokane, WA to spend Thanksgiving with us. It is monumental to me; she’s as much family as any of my own. Let’s see, the last time that […]

Holy cannoli! Thanksgiving is less than a week away! Have you bought your turkey yet? If you are purchasing a frozen turkey (the most economical kind) then you better get on it. Turkeys take several days in the refrigerator to defrost. If you are planning on brining the bird then you need to move up […]

Although many people don’t believe B&W photography has a place in the food world, Susan is busily proving them wrong. B&W food photos can set a mood or […]
Growing up I thought cranberry sauce came from a can. I believed that the only way to eat cranberry sauce was in the jellied form. Open the top of the can, partially open the bottom to break the seal and slide out a perfectly tube of jellied cranberry sauce. It was actually kind of a […]
Ever get that feeling, you know that niggling little feeling that something is not good? The feeling you get when you watch, lets say a horror movie, and the person is about to open the door…don’t do it, don’t do it, there’s something baaad behind the door. You know they know it, but they do […]
