How To Make A Delicious Tikka Masala

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 21, 2021 by KatieJanuary 21, 2021

When we left the U.S. we moved to Ireland – the first stop on our most interesting journey. One of the many things I remember that enforced the fact that, though everyone spoke English, we were in a foreign land, happened in a supermarket. I was by the meat counters when a young woman came up and showed my a package of chopped chicken. She asked me if I thought … Continue reading →

Kitchen equipment to consider

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 4, 2021 by KatieJanuary 4, 2021

Before Christmas I was looking for a recipe for a dried cranberry bread (thinking I wouldn’t be able to find fresh cranberries). The recipe called for ‘a stick of butter’. I thought to myself: who writes a recipe like that anymore – and how much butter is in a ‘stick’? I can see handing that recipe to a friend, but putting it on a food blog for the world to … Continue reading →

How to cook a great tofu

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 31, 2020 by KatieDecember 31, 2020

There are 2 types of tofu: silken or Japanese-style tofu and regular tofu. Silken tofu is soft and should be handled carefully. It can be used for sauces, dressings, smoothies, or as a substitute for eggs or yogurt. That’s not what this article is about…. This article is about regular or firm tofu – the kind that can be fried or grilled or cut into cubes or substituted for meat. … Continue reading →

I’ve been reading about the amount of shopping people have done during the pandemic. It was internet shopping of course but it appears to have increased astronomically. I did not do my share….. Although I did spend a lot of time on the few things that I actually bought. My most important purchase was a new down comforter for our bed. When the weather turned colder this fall I switched … Continue reading →

5 Dos and Don’ts of Raising Chickens

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 19, 2020 by KatieDecember 19, 2020

I will be modern and use the term ‘raising chickens’ but I must tell you my mother would be appalled and would most vehemently correct me. One does not ‘raise chickens’; one ‘keeps chickens’. I have absolutely no idea in the world why one keeps chickens; I just know that one does. I tried googling it but was just given sites touting the benefits of keeping chickens, but not the … Continue reading →

2 Healthy and Quick Snack Recipes

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 28, 2020 by KatieNovember 28, 2020

I used to buy snacks…. pretzels, small crackers, peanuts, cashews and, occasionally, potato chips (crisps). Life changed…. Mon mari became a T1 diabetic and really couldn’t have snacks around, particularly snacks that offered no health benefits (crisps). That gave me a really good excuse to not eat them either – and shed those pounds that had been stuck forever. However, we both missed having that occasional bit of something to … Continue reading →

Essential Factors to Consider when Building a Wine Cellar

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 19, 2020 by KatieNovember 19, 2020

We live in France. We have a cave (wine cellar). Everyone does. When we lived in the Vendee it was underground. Here it’s tucked into a low corner of the barn. It’s also our fruit & vegetable cellar. Our wine cellar got it’s start thanks to Haskell’s Nickel sale when we still lived in Minnesota. When we first started regularly drinking wine we would buy 1 or 3 bottles every … Continue reading →
