Wood Fired Pizza Oven! Prime Rib!">Wood Fired Pizza Oven! Prime Rib!
My excuse to finally do it was that our outdated kitchen has double-ovens that could fail in the middle of my Christmas Eve prime rib for 20. So I got a wood-fired pizza oven! It will be ready Monday, giving me time to figure it out before I...

Reviving this thread to chime in that my grandmother would always add a touch of lemon extract or a squeeze of lemon juice to her recipe, and would plump up the dried raisins or currants first. Oh, I know what I'm baking this weekend! Butter tarts are wonderful treats that...

I was going to use this discount on Nopi, but then discovered that if I did I couldn't use free Prime shipping, and the discounted price + tax + shipping is essentially the same as the regular Amazon price. So it's going back on my holiday wish list, and if...

I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.
When I watch chefs and good cooks on tv, I'm so envious of their skills. This blog is the closest I get to cooking, other than the microwave ;)
Try not to drool!
