This was so simple I debated posting it….. I decided that sometimes, we all can use a simple snack and it doesn’t get much easier than this. This Pizza Snack happened because, during lock-down, we got the wrong kind of bread. I was baking bread and mon mari was very happy with it – except for his sandwiches. The home-made bread made great toast but didn’t live up to his … Continue reading →
You could call it a pastry or a white pizza but I like the way Tuna Feta Tart rolled off the tongue. And it’s my recipe so I get to call it what I like. I didn’t use puff pastry or phyllo often when I lived in the U.S. If my memory is correct it used to be frozen. Here they are both in the cold food section with all … Continue reading →
This may be the last winter squash recipe of this season. I’m not certain because I haven’t checked to see what’s in my camera and I’ve been very lax in uploading photos this last week…. and the week before. One thing I have never found here, not even in the Asian supermarket, are egg roll wrappers. They were easy to find in the U.S., even 20 years ago. I’ve never … Continue reading →
I’m down to 7 butternut squashes and 2 big pumpkins. Guapa is helping now. After her bout with an intestinal upset I didn’t feed her for 18 hours. I had intended it to be 24 but I couldn’t hold out against that pleading look any longer. Then I gave her the recommended white rice. Turns out she’d rather starve…. Upon further research I discovered that pumpkin was also good to … Continue reading →
I planted my tomato seeds last week. I have 16 little pots of red, white, yellow, green and orange tomatoes. I wasn’t able to find all of my favorites at the garden stores last year, thus the seeds. Of the 16 plants: 3 are Roma meant for cooking and freezing, and 2 are cherry tomatoes. I have a bit of a love / hate relationship with cherry tomatoes. Well, actually, … Continue reading →
Did I mention I was getting creative with pumpkin? They’re so big….. They don’t look that big until I cut into them, They are almost solid flesh, The center cavity is only 3 of 4 inches across so a ten pound pumpkin produces a lot of veg. This is what we had last weekend for first courses. I can buy small, 5″ squares of puff pastry, 4 to a package, … Continue reading →
This is a recipe that I saw a few years ago, decided I needed to make it, and promptly forgot about it. I saw it again last month. It was the mustard that really caught my eye. Kristin Espinasse has been writing French Word-A-Day, a blog about French life and French words and French families even longer than I have been writing this one…. She started in 2002. She has … Continue reading →
