No four and twenty blackbirds in this pie

For the first time, I have made a pie completely from scratch. It was a spiced plum pie with a butter pie crust. I thought that the crust was my greatest obstacle as I had never made one before. I didn’t have a pastry cutter so I made do with a fork and a potato [...]

Call it chayote, merliton, hup jeung gwa, or whatever you want, it’s my favorite squash these days. Zucchini and yellow squash doesn’t do it for me. They’re squishy. They’re lackluster. As far as I’m concerned, zucchini belongs in quick breads and not on my plate as a side dish. Ah, but chayote? It’s such a [...]
A birthday cake fit for a Captain

Rumor has it that like fine wine, plumduff (a.k.a. the Captain) gets better with every passing year! To mark that fact on her birthday, I made her a very simple birthday cake. Since we’re big fans of Cooking Lite here at the Awesomesauce of Greater Boston, this is the relatively-healthy cake and icing recipe I [...]
Whole Wheat Soda Bread

So, here’s a picture of my first attempt at a vegan soda bread with millet and currants that I tried from my new cookbook, Veganomicon. It was a little overdone (dry) but otherwise pretty decent. I’m now in pursuit of finding the perfect adaptation of the cookbook’s recipe for raspberry chocolate cookies. Mmmmm, chocolate cookies….
a white batter bread

Yet again, I have no pictures of the bread that I made this weekend. However, I figured that I would post about it before Asano-mama gives me flack for not mentioning it. This bread recipe was the second one that I had ever tried (my first was rosemary focaccia that needed two attempts – I guarantee [...]

Mikan-san won’t mention that she made an awesome homemade bread so I will: Mikan-san, your bread was MOST EXCELLENT. Thank you for the sample. I om-nom-nom-ed it with great gusto. Also, Awesomesaucers and attendees. Equinox party. I have no clue what I’m making as I don’t know what anyone else is making, and since no [...]
I made a joke last month about making a pie on 3/14. I’m a nerd, I know. It occurred to me that the day is coming. Should I do it? I think I have the time. Any pie suggestions?
