Cookies for Thursday
November 21, 2007
Not that this Thursday is special or anything. Its just Thanksgiving! One of my favorite holidays. Great food. Family and friends. Did I mention the food? If you’re curious what I’ll be bringing to dinner, check out my post here
Cake fit for a President
November 6, 2007
A few weeks ago, I pulled a “Dorothy” and explored the concept of there being no place like home. I live in Quincy, Massachusetts, which is the “City of Presidents” and filled with history. John Adams, our second U.S. President and his son, John Quincy Adams, our sixth ...
Give the sprout a chance!
October 18, 2007
The Brussels sprout is a much-maligned vegetable. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always loved them and was surprised to learn that most people didn’t share my affection. Probably a fair number of you are ready to run for the hills at this point, or maybe just click ...
Chocolate goodness
October 1, 2007
My coffee addiction began when I visited Paris. I’ve tried, but have not been able to get over either of them. The coffee or Paris. But I’ll stick to writing about coffee for this post. The aroma gets me every time. And that perfect sip, where the sweetness and the ...
Breaking bread
September 10, 2007
It happened again. The time that returns every year when I realize that the pieces of bread that I’ve been collecting are threatening to take over my freezer. I can’t stand eating the heels or hard pieces of bread, so instead of wasting them, I save them for later. The ...
Serendipity at a Food Blogher’s conference
August 15, 2007
How can I condense all that happened at the Blogher Conference in Chicago? I can’t. This is just one more post that continues the saga. I’ve been posting on my other blog, Anali’s First Amendment, for the past two weeks, but I wanted to share some of my ...
A sherbet In time
July 20, 2007
This is my summer of homemade ice cream. My ice cream maker has earned its keep in my freezer and I haven’t even remotely missed the space that it’s taken up. A few weeks ago, I made chocolate ice cream that was inspired by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. ...
Take me out to the ballgame
June 28, 2007
Ah yes, the boys of summer are back and playing their hearts out. This is what my Fantasy Baseball Team looks like currently. I’ve just made a trade that I’m very happy with – Derek Jeter for Manny Ramírez. People call me crazy for getting rid of Jeter, but when ...
The little black dress of foods - zucchini
June 2, 2007
A few weeks ago I bought some zucchini. I had planned to make a stir-fry with some onions and chicken, something really healthy. I don’t know who I thought I was fooling, but that plan did not come to pass. Somehow I got caught up in a sea of muffins ...
A Taste of Yellow

We all scream for ice cream
April 24, 2007
Over the last few weeks, our nation’s collective emotions have been put through the ringer. At times like these, comfort foods come calling. Something simple that reminds us of happier times and that sweetness can and actually needs to be found in the midst of bitterness. I cannot think of ...
Eat dessert first
April 6, 2007
I love trying out new places to eat around Boston, especially places that serve sweets. A few months ago, I visited flour bakery + café in the South End section of Boston. Joanne Chang is the owner of flour and was nice enough to answer a few questions by email ...
Boston blues
March 16, 2007
When I was younger and my parents and their siblings would get together, they would always talk about the past. A theme I noticed was closed department stores. They’d talk about places that they used to shop at when they were young and how they couldn’t believe the stores weren’t ...
Around the world by cookie
February 27, 2007
Since I started blogging almost a year ago, a whole new world of people has opened up to me. The sense of community is something I truly enjoy. I learn about things that I wouldn’t have otherwise. Part of a recent blog post was inspired by a fellow blogger, who ...
You know you want some
February 12, 2007
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and whether you’re married, single, or something in between, you would probably like to get a little bit between now and then. I know you want some chocolate. It adds romance to almost anything. Reading a good book? Savor a slice of chocolate cake with a ...
All aboard the S.S. Mahi-Mahi!
February 1, 2007
I was born two weeks before "Gilligan’s Island" premiered on television in September 1964. Looking back, I must remember the show from reruns, because it was only on for three seasons. I can’t say that I was ever a huge fan, but so much from that show is steeped into American pop culture that certain words or phrases will conjure up memories.
