Between David Lebovitz and Dorie Greenspan, I could easily spend three hours a day, seven days a week at the gym. Sigh. Back in June, David blogged about a simple “recipe” for cherry jam. Being a sour cherry fanatic (it rivals my obsession for passion fruit), I found a couple quarts at my local farmers’ […]

A Tangy Buttermilk Bread
Posted by Madam Chow Published in Beth Hensperger, bread, buttermilk, Cleaning Out the PantryI’ve been doing a lot of sourdough baking lately, but every once in a while, I want to make something simple that doesn’t require expanding my collection of bubbling cultures in the laboratory that I call my kitchen. So, I turned to a wonderful book, Beth Hensperger’s The Bread Bible: 300 Favorite Recipes. It may […]

Sorry about the poor photo, folks, but I’ve been messing around with new technology, and that’s always a dangerous thing! When I was about 14, I went through a phase where, once a week, I’d make some kind of homemade pudding, usually chocolate. Personally, I think the skin that forms on top is the best […]

Mango Passionfruit Lassi – Monthly Mingle
Posted by Madam Chow Published in beverage, fruit, Monthly Mingle, passionfruit, yogurtThis month, Meeta of What’s for Lunch Honey? chose “Mango Mania” as the theme for the Monthly Mingle. The thought of something fruity, light, and refreshing immediately came to mind.

If anyone has any idea how to fix “HTTP erorr” messages, I’d appreciate some help. Pretend that you are talking to one of the most computer illiterate people on the planet, and if you send me […]

Recently, I could not stand the thought of watching any more political news, or another re-run on HGTV, the Food Network, or City Confidential. “Enough!” screamed by brain. So, I turned to the Discovery Channel, and found myself riveted by a new series called “Verminators.” Sounds promising, doesn’t it? This particular episode highlighted bedbugs. Ach. […]

TWD- Double Crusted Blueberry Pie
Posted by Madam Chow Published in blueberry, crostata, pie, Tuesdays with DoriePie is one of my favorite desserts, and blueberries are one of my favorite fruits. This pie was a winner – thank heavens I cut the recipe in half, or there’s no telling the caloric damage that would have been done! I did make a few changes, besides cutting the recipe in half: I used […]

Dark Onion Rye Boule for the Bread Baking Babes
Posted by Madam Chow Published in bread, Bread Baking Babes, rye, sourdoughI don’t know what the deal is, but my bread dough rarely turns out as described. If the recipe warns that it will be sticky, mine is not. If it says I will get a smooth, elastic dough that’s slightly tacky, I often end up with soup. Not always, mind you, but with enough frequency […]
