Check out this beautiful æbleskiver breakfast.
(actually using this blog again, wha?)
I found what would become my favorite cookie recipe by following a sex blogger’s twitter? Well, this is the internet, anything can happen.
I know that food.com and the like will have many things labeled “best _____ recipe”, and many of them aren’t even good recipes but, seriously, these are lovely. I’ve been looking for a chocolate cookie recipe that holds up well during shipping, something rich but not too soft and moist, and these baked up to the perfect balance. They work well with or without nuts- though, they hold their shape better with.
The only thing I would add to this recipe is the suggestion that you bake them on paper and slide it off the tray immediately to prevent burning from aftercooking.
I’ve already made a few batches. One normal, a few tweaked & flavored- and I’m working on a gluten-free modification for my friends with celiac disease.
Vegetable soup and dark rye bread.
The soup is made of things from my garden.
The bread is not.
Sriracha. My favorite thing to ever happen in Thailand. Isn’t that red color so beautiful?
I put it on soups, sandwiches, salads, roasts… anything composed of vegetables and/or meat that you could think of.
Lately, I’ve taken to eating it in my oatmeal.
I’ve been inspired to start writing up a recipe for chili paste peanut butter cookies. (not with sriracha, though, because sriracha contains garlic.)
I think I have a problem…
Just a light rye loaf, nothing special, but I took a photo of this one because I thought it was especially attractive.
I made two loaves that day, the second went stale and was turned into kvas!
BACON-WRAPPED HOT DOG, what else is there to say?
Besides the fact that I sauteed the sauerkraut in the bacon grease. You just can’t let that stuff go to waste.
When my sister sets up a vodka platter, she doesn’t mess around.
Pickles are a surprisingly good complement, and rye toasts and hard-boiled eggs are good with everything.
Blini (delicious thin-as-hell Russian pancakes) with sour cream and salmon roe. The dish is nothing more than a yeasted buckwheat crepe, but don’t tell any Russians I said that.
Angel food cake and devil’s food cake. Made for a party held on 21 May, 2011, supposed day of the rapture. All the attendees were left behind.
