Perfect Scrambled Eggs; Roundabouts

Thyme for Cooking Posted on May 6, 2010 by KateOctober 1, 2017

Roundabouts are a marvelous thing that one sees all over Europe but rarely in the US. They keep traffic flowing without the need for traffic lights or traffic cops. If you're lost you can simply drive round and round, looking at your options, until you figure out which way to go. They can be an effective means of protest with minimum effort and manpower:  There was a complete traffic blockage … Continue reading →

Broccoli Rice Gratin; Escalator Etiquette; The Weekly Menu

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 15, 2010 by KateMay 3, 2020

Bemoaning the lack of escalator etiquette…. Or how to loose the skin on the back of your heels. The store that I shop at when we go to Andorra is huge, the size of at least a few football fields.  There are moving walkways, rather than escalators going between the 3 floors so that you can easily take your trolley with you; the front wheels on the trolley lock into … Continue reading →

Catalan Cooking: peasant food at it’s best

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 4, 2010 by KateJune 9, 2013

Living in the mountains, as he does, our friend has the exact opposite method of cooking of mine. We are two, and I usually cook for two, or two plus planned leftovers…. for two. He is one and he usually cooks for an army. He has one tall refrigerator with no freezer; one tall freezer and one chest freezer. Getting down the mountain for fresh produce is not always an … Continue reading →

Oatmeal Biscuits; Bunny Slayer no more

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 3, 2010 by KateOctober 7, 2017

The continuing Saga of Sedi, the (former) Bunny Slayer Sedi, the German Shepherd, jumped out of the car on the way to the mountains. She had an unplanned sit…. And couldn’t get up. Other than hold her tail up so she could pee, there was nothing we could do – poor old girl. We lifted her into the back of the truck, told Emma the big white dog, not to … Continue reading →

Veal Saltimbocca; Shipping the shopping

Thyme for Cooking Posted on September 26, 2009 by KateOctober 27, 2019

 I confess. I like to shop. I don’t do it very often, and, fortunately for my wallet, I like window-shopping best. Still, being on my own in the US for 2 weeks, it was inevitable that I succumbed to that great American past time. What really clinched it for me was the new (to me) US Post Office’s flat rate shipping boxes. One can ship up to 20 lbs (9 … Continue reading →

Ratatouille Quiche; off to the US; the Weekly Menu

Thyme for Cooking Posted on September 4, 2009 by KateOctober 23, 2017

I'm finally going back to the US to visit the family.  Next week. The trip has been postponed a few times due to, oh, little things like moving; being stuck in Vlad's house, mon mari's frequent hospital holidays….. So far, it's on track…. Except that I haven't had the time to go out to the barn to sort through boxes so I can pack. But, I have a couple of … Continue reading →

Stuffed Pork Tenderloin; Enlightening travel

Thyme for Cooking Posted on August 27, 2009 by KateAugust 16, 2013

Years ago, before we lived here, we were in London, window-shopping with another couple.  The wife spotted a figurine she wanted to add to her collection.  They discussed it a bit, as it was rather expensive, then decided to buy it. She asked if the husband had a check.  He did. He opened his wallet and pulled a single, unattached, folded, check out and handed it to her. As an … Continue reading →
