The wife is afflicted with a seasonally induced craving for cranberry sauce, and she's been buying bags of berries on a regular basis. Yesterday, she made a big pot of sauce, and then asked me "what do we have in the freezer that goes with cranberry sauce?" The answer: "Quail." In this way was dinner determined. I had various pieces of a goose undergoing various operations in fridge,...

For Thanksgiving this year I bought our bird a week in advance because last year I learned that all the other home cooks in my town buy theirs a week in advance, leaving only 5- or 35-lb. turkeys for those of us who'd rather wait. If you did the same, thawing a frozen turkey by transferring it from the freezer to the fridge is still the ideal method. I was taught was to allow 24 hours thaw time in...

A ctually, it was rice cereal. Not that my five-and-a-half-month-old minded. He was pretty durn interested regardless. Just look at him! It’s a bowl of mush and he can’t take his eyes off of it. (I don’t think he’s realized yet that this bland but delicious concoction is… for hi m. He has grown so accustomed to his momma eating in front of him that such rudeness doesn’t...

Last weekend I threw a casual buffet supper for a few 'dead-celebrity' impersonators before we all headed to a Hallowe'en party where being an expired famous person was the raison d'etre. As you all know, celebrities can be a needy bunch and consequently I had to juggle several dietary preferences in a meal where I hoped I could include things that everyone might like. I wanted to make a seasonal...

Believe it or not, this recipe came about because of a couple of stoneware serving dishes. Take a look at these dishes and tell me if you don't think that they are the very, very good-looking...(said in a Zoolander voice)... They have the unfortunate name of 'Microstoven' because they can be used in the microwave, on the stove and in the oven. But best of all, they are non-stick! I saw the square baking...

M y stove (and oven) have been broken for two weeks, and we haven’t yet replaced it. My husband claims that he’s still doing research on a new model but I don’t for a moment believe him. I think I’m being filmed for a reality show. Do you have any idea how hard it is to feed a family of seven— eight if you include the five-month-old that’s feeding off of me —when...
