Our friends Annie and Ron hosted a little brunch this past weekend, and I knew I wanted to make a dessert starring some delicious late-summer fruit. Ina Garten’s Summer Fruit Tart was just the answer! A spin on her classic French apple tart from Back to Basics, it’s simplicity at its best. A slightly sweet dough is rolled out into a rectangle, then topped with neat rows of peaches, figs and plums. After a sprinkle of sugar and a few dots of butter, it bakes until the crust is golden brown and…

Hello Sandwich Fans! It’s hard to believe it’s September already, we just barely managed to squeak through August and get our 3 sandwiches done and now we have three more to discover! This sandwich life can be a grind sometimes. Still, some tasty things ahead, as we’ll find out after we recap the sandwiches of August! The Tribunal started August by exploring the Mexican Gordita, a much different flatbread than the Taco Bell offering with the same name. Not sure we did it justice, but we sure…

Eric Kim’s Oi Sobagi (stuffed cucumber kimchi) has one of my favorite headnotes in Korean American – in it he describes having to translate his mom’s onomatopoeia-based directions (like song-song-song-song, the sound of scallions being sliced) into an actual repeatable recipe. To make it, cucumbers are quickly blanched, cut into 3-inch sections, and quartered lengthwise, keeping the base intact so they hold together. Each one is then stuffed with a vibrant mixture of garlic chives, scallions,…

Aside from maps, I would say my next biggest obsession is coffee. For the last couple of months, my favourite bean, Finca La Bolsa, has been out of season and unavailable from my local roasters. I've therefore been using the opportunity to experiment with beans from different regions, different taste profiles and different processing methods.For some reason, it has only just dawned on me that there might be some coffee maps I can use to help me discover new beans to add to my coffee…

boiling is the worst way to cook food this includes bagels, shellfish, even hot pot pasta is only good because you immediately put tasty non-boiled stuff on it before you eat it I will not be taking questions at this time

From Tokyo, we took the Shinkansen to Morioka, about 3 hours.Then from Morioka, it is 2 hour bus ride to Miyako.Last year when we visited Miyako, we didn't get a chance to try their Bindon (bottle bowl)Fresh seafood is packed into a milk bottle and you pour it onto rice and eatApparently back in the Jomon era, the fishermen thought of a way to bring back fresh uni (sea urchin) back to their

I’m often impressed, if not merely satisfied, by the quality of the food we enjoy at home. Rhonda and I both very much love going out to dinner, but it’s nice to not only know your way around the home kitchen, but also to be able to make such abiding memories. Porterhouse Steak and Potato Gratin One of the nice things about Rhonda being home in the summer is that she picks up some special groceries when she’s out. This week, she stopped at Marcacci’s, our most frequently visited butcher, and…

There are 6 pages listed on the English-language Wikipedia site under the category “Dutch sausages.” There’s Balkenbrij, sort of a cross between a black pudding and scrapple; Braadworst, a precursor to the South African boerewors; Frikandel, a casingless cylinder of spiced minced meat often deep-fried and served in sandwiches like the Belgian Mitraillette; Metworst, an air-dried pork sausage akin to hard salami or German Kottenwurst; Ossenworst, a sausage of minced raw beef flavored with…

Well, here’s something new – a spicy truffle Buldak. It’s only available at Walmart for starters. Second, it’s not saying artificial chicken flavor on this one either whioch is pleasant. It’s also the first review I’ve done where both the Instant Noodle Recipe Time episode and the mukbang are done in portrait mode. I figured I’d see what people thought of this as most of my views are coming via mobile phone. I don’t have any games on the phone that are in landscape mode. I don’t like to have to…

Dear Constant Reader, My summer has been all about peaches. For the past several years we’ve gotten two case of peaches over the course of the summer. Most of them just get eaten, but I cook a thing or two… There’s always jam. It’s like putting summer in a jar. When the NY Times Monthly Bake column featured this Peaches & Cream Victoria Sandwich, I knew I had to make it. A gaming day at the Manor was the perfect occasion. A week later a friend’s party was a reason to make Peaches & Cream Pie.…

Vita lavorativa Rifiniture in corso sul progetto che coordino come Team Leader e responsabile del backend sviluppato per conto del CNR. Ho rivisto totalmente la sezione di informazioni del mio profilo LinkedIn. La prossima non è esattamente un’attività di lavoro, ma non sapevo dove metterla :). Ho scritto un feedback di valutazione su un lavoro di tesi fatto sulla piattaforma software che ho creato e sviluppato per tanti anni quando lavoravo presso il centro di ricerca FBK.

A bit of disclaimer: This package arrived last week, but I wanted to open it today, right on the date of Malaysia’s independence day. Today is Malaysia’s independence day (August 31), and Bilabila is celebrating it with their own usual creative and awesome way. I’m so happy seeing a business like Bilabila supporting their local artists. The co-founder of Bilabila, Jing Lee, is a staunch supporter of the local artists and local businesses, especially the non-mainstream ones. She also has been…

What fun to harvest my first ever potatoes from my garden! I know it doesn’t look like a lot of potatoes, but they were fun to grow. And I learned a lot about growing potatoes: when to water how to hill what to do when the plants flower how to know when to harvest (they grow under the soil) I’ve never grown potatoes before, since I understood they needed a fair amount of space. I have a relatively small vegetable garden, outside of cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, and peppers I plant in grow bags.…

Apples, strawberries, and kiwis.

Grandma Brown’s Baked Beans were a staple of my childhood. Originally conceived by Lulu Brown in the first half of the 20th century, the plant that made her recipe was about 10 miles from my hometown. The plant endured until the pandemic, then it “temporarily” shut down. It hasn’t opened back up; the family of the late Lulu have said they can’t find workers in the area. Grandma Country and my Aunt Lucy both used Grandma Brown’s Baked Beans in their baked beans. My husband doesn’t really care…

There’s hot chocolate and then there’s Hot Chocolate. And the difference between what ordinary mortals call and drink believing to be, hot chocolate, is not the same as the Drink of the God’s Hot Chocolate. Eh, I hear you say, what the frak is she talking about now? Hot chocolate? Yes, my dears, not all hot chocolate is made equal, as I am sure you know if you drink it as regularly as I do. Most establishments will spoon a couple of heaped spoonfuls of some iffy powder into a cup and froth some…

When my paternal grandfather, the postmaster in a small town in Ohio in the ‘60s, spotted a red velvet cake recipe in a magazine at work, I doubt he imagined that nearly 60 years later it would have reached legendary status among our family and anyone else who had the privilege of having a slice. The spell cast by this cake never wears off. My dad says his cousins, who haven’t had the cake in years, still mention pining for a slice. The secret really lies in the frosting. Instead of cream…

After quite a while, another one by Maiko! General InfoAccording to the store page, Chiyo Mukashi means “1000 generations”, a reminder of the achievements of everyone that came before us that makes what we do now possible. It's supposed to be drank as koicha (thick), and comes in a beautiful paper-wrapped box which includes a tin which contains a bag. It all feels very luxurious. It also contains a leaflet. Color and SmellWhile opening the little bag inside the tin, I was surprised by the…
