More OCD Revisited: Pappa al Pomodoro

By Eliot, on January 18th, 2013

I adapted this recipe from A Table in Tuscany by Leslie Forbes. I bought this cookbook on the bargain rack at a local bookstore MANY years ago. I think I actually bought two and gave one to my best friend as a gift. (We both dream about traveling and/or living in Tuscany one day!)

More OCD Recipes: Chicken Tetrazzini

Cranberry Ginger Whole Wheat Quick Bread

By Eliot, on December 31st, 2012

I had grandiose ideas.

Yes, I had done the The Twelve Days of Christmas for 2010 and I had done fourteen Christmas gift posts last year.

This year promised to bring posts on “Gifts from the Kitchen 2012.” I had even written many drafts, some as far back as January 2012. I had lots of . . . → Read More: Cranberry Ginger Whole Wheat Quick Bread

Sock monkeys for adults

By Eliot, on December 25th, 2012

Remember the perennial sock monkey?

I still have a vintage one that mom made me back in the day. (I will not tell you how long ago that was.)

When the nieces and nephews were babies, I attempted to make some sock monkeys and even some sock elephants.
