“I felt betrayed today while I sought comfort and understanding in you this morning. Two words did it, “chicken scraps.” Those words made me feel deeply uncomfortable. And unclean.”

Pear Butter Funnel Cakes
I had a pot of barely used oil on my stovetop and I wanted to put it to good use. That is the kitchen equivalent to, “It was a dark and stormy night….” Part of me wanted to make donuts. The other part of me didn’t want to wait for donuts to proof. I was… Continue reading Pear Butter Funnel Cakes
Fast and Loose: Fried Rice
I had some rice left over from some takeout and decided to make fried rice. This rice had the perfect texture, and I seldom have rice hanging around, so the decision was made essentially as soon as I put two and two together. I had also cooked some bacon that day because it had stayed… Continue reading Fast and Loose: Fried Rice
Fast and Loose: Bacon Cheeseburger Fries
I don’t know what exactly put me in the mood or the mind for bacon cheeseburger fries, but once the idea took hold, I knew that I needed to do something about it, especially when I thought back to the cheeseburger pizza I’ve made in the past. So, here are the results, a recipe. This… Continue reading Fast and Loose: Bacon Cheeseburger Fries
Fall things: oatmeal recipes
I know that it is technically still summer (I also know that it is President/Chief Justice Taft’s birthday), but it is feeling a whole lot like fall in the mornings lately.

Breakfasting
I wish that breakfast were more commonly used as a verb. It is more deserving of that treatment, in my opinion, than lunch is. I love breakfast. Part of it, I’m sure, is because I wake up hungry, very hungry every day. I like the foods though, the grits, the pancakes, the eggs. I like… Continue reading Breakfasting

Sometimes you go into the store not with a recipe in mind, but a concept. That’s what happened when I wanted to make cheeseburger pizza. I know how to make pizza dough and that it isn’t terribly time-consuming and I had an idea for how I wanted the flavors to come together. So, I… Continue reading Fast and loose: Cheeseburger Pizza
In an open letter to a pastry recipe,
“I read a lot of recipes. However, I have yet to come across a recipe that uses the words ‘until thick and pasty,’ and also succeeds in continuing to sound tasty. Please take this into consideration.”
Nourishment
Things get busy sometimes. Right now at this moment I am slowly coming out of an extremely busy period. I use a pedometer daily and found that despite taking lots of steps on a daily basis that I’m losing exactly … Continue reading →
There are so many ways a title containing the word “sausage” can go wrong…
Now that it’s getting warm, what better to think about than sausage. Well, ice cream might be better. Watermelon might be better, but that is not what I have on my mind. I have sausage on my mind. Wait, this could get weird fast. Restart! So, making sausage is one of the birthday goals. This… Continue reading There are so many ways a title containing the word “sausage” can go wrong…
