Holiday Pot Luck and a Movies & Munchies Round-up

By Eliot, on January 1st, 2025%

Then there were three.

I’m hosting Movies & Munchies this month and since it’s a busy time I decided to just do a potluck. You could pick whatever holiday movie suits your fancy—the favorite that the fam watches every year, a classic, or even something from your archives.

I love the premise . . . → Read More: Holiday Pot Luck and a Movies & Munchies Round-up

Herb and Garlic Confit

By Eliot, on October 4th, 2024%

I’ve been revisiting some recipes from the archives. I usually make a batch of garlic confit every summer after our garlic harvest. It’s really a great recipe to utilize the garlic that might not have been plucked in time and might have the cloves already separating from the neck.

This is a great condiment to . . . → Read More: Herb and Garlic Confit

“In My Kitchen” September 2024

By Eliot, on September 7th, 2024%

We started the month with a movie and a champagne sipping. We are lucky to have an independent, non-profit historic art house theater close by. To celebrate Widow Cliquot, Circle Cinema and a local wine and liquor store hosted a champagne tasting before the film. We were treated to two glasses of Veuve Cliquot.

Cookbook Review: Indulge: Delicious and Decadent Dishes to Enjoy and Share by Valerie Bertinelli

By Eliot, on August 24th, 2024%

I used to watch the Food Network 24-7. Then we got rid of cable about ten years. I really don’t know anything about the stars of that network now. So, while I obviously knew Valerie from my youth and watching her prime time on One Day at a Time, I did not know she hosted . . . → Read More: Cookbook Review: Indulge: Delicious and Decadent Dishes to Enjoy and Share by Valerie Bertinelli

“In My Kitchen” August 2024 (and July)

By Eliot, on August 8th, 2024%

I missed my July post for “In My Kitchen” so I’m combining two months in one today. This photo string is in somewhat chronological order from June and July.

I usually save all my foodie mags to read at the lake. This was on June 2.

In early June, I went . . . → Read More: “In My Kitchen” August 2024 (and July)

Cook the Books and Movies & Munchies crossover event!

By Eliot, on August 1st, 2024%

It’s been along time since Cook the Books has had a crossover event. I’m pleased to announce The Secret Life of Bees is both the CTB August/September novel and the Movies & Munchies feature film for September.

Plan on joining both groups. Read the 2001 novel by Sue Monk Kidd and bake up a sweet . . . → Read More: Cook the Books and Movies & Munchies crossover event!

“In My Kitchen” June 2024

By Eliot, on June 4th, 2024%

We made it through May and all the tornado outbreaks. (I think I said something similar to surviving April.) Again, I grew up in tornado alley; I remember nights spent in cellars. We have dodged some crazy weather and have been extremely lucky. Thankful.

This month, I’m just going to revisit May’s posts and some . . . → Read More: “In My Kitchen” June 2024

May 2024 “In My Kitchen”

By Eliot, on May 10th, 2024%

Spring has sprung and with it has been some hellacious storms. I hope wherever you are that you and yours are safe. Hope we get past this extreme weather soon. I grew up in tornado alley, but good grief, these new breeds of storms are deadly and destructive. Be safe out there.

I hate to . . . → Read More: May 2024 “In My Kitchen”

“In My Kitchen” April 2024

By Eliot, on April 4th, 2024%

Sorry. I just skipped March’s IMK. I thought about it a few times. Then I just never got around to doing one. I hate to miss so I’ve been planning this April post for some time. I’m not sure that there’s really anything new and innovative, but here goes.

I’m still on my cookbook review . . . → Read More: “In My Kitchen” April 2024

Dark Chocolate, Merlot and Queen Bees

By Eliot, on March 29th, 2024%

The Movies & Munchies film for March is Queen Bees. Movies & Munchies is a virtual movie club with a culinary slant. Each month one of our members picks a film and we all watch it looking for some foodie inspiration. We then post up a review of the movie and an inspired-by recipe.
