Lovage Salt

Lovage Salt

Year by year it grows. This year, it forced the sorrel out of its path, and 7' of bolting blooms choked out the light for the thyme. Lovage is taking over our garden.


Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Years and years ago, my mother indulged us and bought giant boxes of Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes to make all sorts of holiday treats. We brought out the green and red food coloring and made hideous stars, trees, and wreaths with the sticky goo, dotting every one liberally with red hots (because they look like tree ornaments) and staining the countertops along the way. I remember the wreaths in particular - made with dyed green cornflakes, they looked like little holly rings, but they didn't have enough structure to survive the hand-to-hand transfer that was inevitable with little mitts.

Each month, Emma and I pull out our cookbooks and look for a recipe - usually bread - that will force us to practice some long-forgotten skill we acquired in school. It's a great chance for us to compare notes, talk techniques, and learn together.


Cocoa Roasted Salty Nuts

Cocoa Roasted Salty Nuts

Rarely does the urge to snack collide with a surplus of ingredients in our pantry. Actually, let me put it another way: it's not very often that I'm willing to use precious nuts and nice cocoa just because I feel a little munchy. Those sorts of pantry items are always set aside for the next recipe, the next party, or yet another hair-brained idea. I just don't raid my own pantry, so it was unusual I came home the other day and made these cocoa roasted salty nuts for no other reason than I wanted to eat them.
