“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” — Shakespeare “I know you can do this.” — Rory Williams Pond Sourdough: the pinnacle of bread-baking. Having mastered the art of coaxing a loaf of bread out of flour, water, salt, and purchased yeast, it was time for me to take on the challenge of…

Sourcream Coffeecake
Happy National Coffeecake Day! It seems like we have national days for just about everything here in the USA. It’s also National Beer Day, but I’d rather talk about Coffeecake. I know my mom had a recipe for Sour Cream Coffeecake, but I don’t know where it went. I remember not liking it all that much…
Vindaloo
This brightly flavored dish is another one of my all-time favorites. I often make it with leftover pork roast. I began mixing my own vindaloo seasoning a while ago.

Easy Homemade Poultry Seasoning
Signs of spring are everywhere! In spite of two recent storms, the daffodils are poking up from under the snow, the birds are singing in the morning, and there’s mud everywhere. Really, everywhere! I’ve got my seeds ready to go, and I’m really looking forward to getting back out into the garden. I’ve learned my…

By now, most folks have heard of Buffalo Chicken Wings. Although, as a former resident of Buffalo, I have to say that it’s hard to find good ones outside of Buffalo. Best I ever had from another state was at the No Name Pub on Big Pine Key, Florida. Superb pizza, too. Turned out the chef…
