As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it was nearly a tie in the voting for what I should cook from issue #2 of Everyday Food magazine. The delightful asparagus tart won by a single vote. As promised, I also made the runner-up. And boy, am I glad I did. I’ve always been a little intimidated…

asparagus gruyere tart
You voted, and I cooked it. Today I made the Asparagus Gruyere Tart from Issue #2 of Everyday Food Magazine. The tart won the contest by a single vote. And since the voting was so close, I’ll also be making the runner-up, Oven-Baked Risotto. Check back tomorrow to read how that went. Now, back to…
tiny flower thursday
From my sun gold tomato plant. And now, a few words about what happened to me on Wednesday. So I worked a half day at work, because I’m working another half day on Saturday. After I got home I picked up my iPhone to check email. And there it was. A message from a deputy…

greg’s birthday cupcakes

The cupcakes have the zest from oranges, lemons and limes in the batter. I divided the glaze in three dishes and made one for each citrus. And I have to…
candy making
I’ve had one of the best weekends ever. A weekend where we had no obligations. Just had two days of do-whatever-we-want. Yesterday, I made homemade chicken noodle soup.

Last night I was catching up on some Martha Stewart shows from last week. On one of them Martha and one of her company crafters demonstrated the magazine Christmas tree. I was smitten. Some of you might now that I have a bit of a magazine obsession, so there were plenty around to turn into…
