Spicy Indonesian Soup Soto Ajam

Spicy Indonesian Soup (Soto Ajam)

Read any good books lately? By books I mean cookbooks. As many of my friends know (and Paul can attest to), I am a bit of a collector when it comes to cookbooks. I seem to go through them the way the average run of the mill reader goes through novels. And to top it all off, (much to Paul’s chagrin) I can’t seem to part with them, so they have piled up over the years just a bit.

All Under Heaven

all under heaven

All Under Heaven Like most white suburban middle-class children, my first introduction to Chinese food was far from inspiring. It took place at the food court of the local mall. I remember my mother always had a plate of Chinese food, while my siblings and I made a run for hamburgers. She could never get…

Fig Bacon and Blue Cheese Palmiers

Fig Bacon and Blue Cheese Palmiers The family that blogs together, stays together. Such was the case when my cousin Lesley, who blogs over at Merlin’s Garden, sent me some of her homemade ‘Drunken Fig Jam’ (yes, there was some begging and pleading involved, so she really couldn’t say no). It was perfect timing, because…

Modern Potluck For a long time now I have been thinking about writing an essay on the decline of entertaining in one’s home. Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes I feel like Paul and I (and a few treasured others) are the only ones doing it anymore with regularity. I don’t want to sound like…
