Linguini with Meat Sauce

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 26, 2012 by KateJuly 15, 2018

I got a present in the post the other day! I love getting presents…. Especially unexpected presents. Well, this wasn’t totally unexpected. The nice people from Ariosto sent me a message on Facebook and asked if I wanted to try their herb and spice mixes. Of course I said yes – if they would send them to France. Well, it turns out they are in Italy so France wasn’t quite … Continue reading →

Risotto with Duck Confit and Beluga Lentils

Thyme for Cooking Posted on March 16, 2012 by KateOctober 21, 2017

I'm back….. Almost. Still rather jet-lagged. Still wrapping my mind around stuff and getting used to the new reality. And absolutely enjoying the brilliant sunshine and warm air that greeted me.   Spring arrived while I was away. Hyacinths are blooming, tulips are up, fruit trees are blossoming, puppies are digging…. All signs of spring. It's always interesting visiting the US, especially in an election year.  The vitriol is already … Continue reading →

Barbecued Sirloin Steak; The Annual Flood Run

Thyme for Cooking Posted on May 16, 2011 by KateAugust 11, 2013

Seeing the sites in Italy: old story; new recipe…. I grew up on the Mississippi River. No, not on a raft like Huck Finn, but in one of the many small towns on either side.  The one I grew up in, on the Wisconsin side (the other side being Minnesota), had a population of 287 when I was born.  Now it's 285.  On a Saturday in May, the population increases … Continue reading →

Stir-Fried Turkey with Spinach; Could you holiday the ‘French way’?

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 21, 2010 by KateOctober 21, 2017

I was just on holiday for 2 1/2 weeks….. It went like this: I spent 3 weeks frantically busy getting ready for it. I was busy every day and every evening while I was gone. I've spent the week since I've been home frantically busy catching up. What's wrong with this picture? Every summer we watch the French (and other Europeans) stuff their cars and/or campers so full one couldn't … Continue reading →

Stuffed Mushroom Caps; is there still truth in ads?

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 15, 2010 by KateAugust 11, 2013

It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegone….. Okay, so I wasn't in Lake Wobegone – but I was close.  After three wonderful days in Paris, where we spent our time walking where-ever our feet led us and eating wonderful food, I went on to Minnesota and Wisconsin.  I spent two weeks visiting family and friends and running around like the proverbial chicken sans head.  I logged more time in … Continue reading →

The 5 things mon mari doesn’t know about shopping

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 28, 2009 by KateDecember 28, 2009

In honor of both the end of the Shopping Season and Mon Mari, I thought I'd reprint this from 3 years ago… For years mon mari and I traveled together.  Then we moved to Ireland/Andorra/France and it changed. For the first five years I was still working in the U.S. and flew back and forth 5 or 6 times a year, by myself.  Mon mari would join me every two … Continue reading →

Butternut Pecan Cups; Watch for blinking lights

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 14, 2009 by KateAugust 16, 2013

What I know about cars would fit on the head of a pin. In large letters. When we bought our car 2 years ago (or was it 3?) I had 4 criteria: Could the dogs fit into the back? Could the dogs actually get into the back? Did it have a cup holder on the passenger side? Did it have an MP3 player? Whether it was diesel or petrol, automatic … Continue reading →
