In the seemingly neverending quest to use up stuff from the freezer/fridge/pantry, I made this tart, and I finally used up that super expensive Dufours puff pastry!! Which I gotta say, was quite a bit better than the usual Pepperidge farm. I used the following: 1 sheet puff pastry rolled out 6 oz sherried crimini [...]

So a few years ago I started this blog cause I wanted to keep track of recipes I had made. Then…I started to get sucked into the whole blogging thing – arranging food for semi decent pictures (I was even considering buying a super expensive camera JUST for this purpose). I spent time trying to [...]

Do you like your bagels steamed or boiled? That is the question. To be honest, before I made them myself, I didn’t have a clue. If someone had told me – I know the place to get the best hand rolled, steamed bagels, I would say GREAT! Lead the way! Being not from Bagel-land, I [...]

Ever been to one of those olive oil/vinegar bars? I know they are popping up all over the place – even the local mall. When I was in Door County, WI a few months ago, I finally visited one. If you live in, say, the Chicago area, you should be quite familiar with Door County. [...]
