Mutton Curry

Posted on April 29, 2014 by judilyn

No, this isn’t mutton; it’s chicken. But I made this curry dish with some curry paste that is supposed to be for mutton. That sounds ghastly to me, but I can’t really tell the differences among the different packets of … Continue reading →

Posted on April 27, 2014 by judilyn

Here it is Sunday again, and time to haul out the brown eggs. We seem to have developed a taste for this meal to be done Hawai’ian style – that is pineapple sautéed in the pan with the ham. Improves … Continue reading →

It was dinnertime, and offering a panini always meets with great enthusiasm. Again lunch had been late, so a lighter dinner was in order. A traditional Club Sandwich has turkey, ham, cheese, and various other goodies, so I put in … Continue reading →

Less is More

Posted on April 24, 2014 by judilyn

Computers . . . they just blow my mind! I worked at Apple Computer (2/86 – 6/94) and saw so many innovations, but my mouth routinely drops open at what I have seen happening in the industry since then. I … Continue reading →

Thirteen Pancakes (Pikelets)

Posted on April 20, 2014 by judilyn

An efriend (Hi – Liz) in Canada makes a breakfast item called pikelets, http://myfavouritepastime.com/2014/04/20/poppy-seed-orange-pikelets/comment-page-1/#comment-13510 and explains that they are different from our American “pancakes” in that they are thicker and fluffier. Wheee ! That is always my goal, too, so … Continue reading →

We had an unusually late, late, late lunch today, so even by nine o’clock, dinnertime hadn’t rolled around. But when it finally did, this is what we ate. It was a nice blend of flavors, quite nutritious, and not too … Continue reading →

What the Bees See

Posted on April 14, 2014 by judilyn

I’ve taken a bazillion pictures of this tree and its beautiful flowers, but always miss showing how really gorgeous the sky is here. We have little pollution, so frequently (not always), the sky is an electric blue. The bees are … Continue reading →

It’s Sunday again, and, after a couple of weeks off from poached eggs, we’re back at it again. This time the polenta had a good-sized hunk of the horseradish white Cheddar cheese in it, but the flavor is too subtle … Continue reading →

Blueberry and Pecan Pancakes

Posted on April 9, 2014 by judilyn

This is how NOT to have BLUE blueberry pancakes. I tried mixing them in last time because when they are on top like this, the second side doesn’t get as nicely done because the berries hold the batter up off … Continue reading →

Posted on April 8, 2014 by judilyn

Have you ever tried Peruano beans? They are truly magnificent, supplanting the beloved red beans, if you can believe it. Part leftovers and part freshly cooked, here is what we had for lunch yesterday: Into a very hot skillet with … Continue reading →

Solid Juice

Posted on April 7, 2014 by judilyn

This array of goodness makes three hearty cups of pure gold, delicious juice. The carrot “fluff” that is left in the juicer is great added to our cooked cereal. Cancer medicines can cause one’s system to balk. So to counteract … Continue reading →

Hot Roast Beef Sandwich – sort of Canadian Style

Posted on April 2, 2014 by judilyn

Looks good, eh? We’d been hearing about Poutine. If I have it right, that is French fries with a cheese sauce and gravy. Sounds a bit weird, but Canadians seem to think it is really spiffy, so maybe we should … Continue reading →
