Cooking
This whole 'tea for dinner' thing is kind of taking off around here.
Lots of lovely little bites, endless cups of tea. It's rather perfect, actually. Makes you sit and relax, whether you want to or not!
Most recently, there were lots of crumpets (which Alex has been eating for breakfast, with a sprinkling of cinnamon & sugar), and little sandwich rounds of cucumber on dilled cream cheese, and Welsh Rabbit fingers.
Smoked salmon topped with sour cream, on bread that had been browned in butter.
And little cheese tarts (they went back in the oven after their photo op, and got much browner); just eggs and cheese and cream in pie crusts.
Filling, but light. And a fun, easy-going evening with the family.
We're kicking off our fourth year of Blog Party by taking a look back at some of our favorite first-year themes. This month, we're revisiting a BP favorite, Retro Party!
We're doing a bit of time-travel, and bringing back some of the weird and wonderful dishes & drinks from the 20's through the late sixties. You won't want to miss it! R.S.V.P. no later than Thursday, 21 August. Hope to see you there!

When I got my first look at King Arthur Flour's new recipe site, I found I'd lost at least an hour. I mean, there I was, at one time, and suddenly, it's an hour later and I was extremely hungry. Too many recipes bookmarked, and a realization...

Catalogs arrive bearing goodies for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. School's started already (here, anyway). I'm seeing recipes for hot soups & comforting casseroles. The heck with that. Last I checked, it was still summer. We're...

Comfort food, with a kick. Rosemary & red pepper flakes. All I have to say about that. We're kicking off our fourth year of Blog Party by taking a look back at some of our favorite first-year themes. This month, we're revisiting a BP favorite,...

Be sure to stop in at your local Dairy Queen today. It's hot out there. So set aside some time, and get yourself a Blizzard. Or two. Because today only, all proceeds from the sale of Blizzards go to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. So grab yourself some...
