Then and Now

Then and Now by Beth Anne Leach

Then and NowRecently, my husband and I went to a local consignment auction and as I was sifting through boxes of cookbooks, the hubs came across a tattered old cookbook whose cover read, “Chesterfield Science Club Cookbook 1913”. Now, Chesterfield being the small Illinois town that he grew up in, he was immediately interested. We know…

A Tale of Two Critters

A Tale of Two Critters by Beth Anne Leach

A Tale of Two CrittersI have a confession to make. I am a pressure cooking virgin. I have always wanted to learn how to use a pressure cooker, but I admit that I have allowed myself to be intimidated by them for as long as I can remember. But really, if you consider the fact that most of the pressure cookers I have seen, including the…

Have Beer, Will Travel.....or Grill.....

Have Beer, Will Travel.....or Grill..... by Beth Anne Leach

In the ongoing saga that is my husband's love affair with his grill, we are constantly trying new things so that he can learn lots of different ways to use his new toy. We have made beer-butt chicken once before, with mixed results. Recently, I was placing a book order on half.com when I ran across a copy of Steven Raichlen's Beer Can…

Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce

Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce by Beth Anne Leach

Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry SauceI ran across this dish on one of the blogs that I follow, and knew instantly that I had to give it a try. I mean, with a name like that, how could I go wrong? I am a fool for basil, and since I was considering making a batch of my Thai Basil Chicken anyway, I thought I'd give this version a whirl.I…

I am definitely in soup mode with the weather changing over the last week or so, and one of our favorite side dishes uses a can of french onion soup as an ingredient.

Crème Brulee – Nigella Lawson

Crème Brulee – Nigella Lawson by Beth Anne Leach

When Ginny and I are lucky enough to have the opportunity for a night out at a nice restaurant, we are generally more concerned about the entree, and possibly the appetizer, and most definitely the wine, than we are about dessert. Its not that we don't like desserts, we are just much more interested in the main course, as a…

TFF – Asian Egg Drop Soup

TFF – Asian Egg Drop Soup by Beth Anne Leach

TFF – Asian Egg Drop SoupDuring the onslaught of cooking that was my weekend with Ginny, we used eight egg yolks for a lovely crème brulee . We both hate to waste food, so we just couldn’t bring ourselves to toss the remaining eight egg whites in the trash. There are only so many things that you can use excess egg whites for.1. Angel…

Panna Cotta - Guest Post! by Beth Anne Leach

Well, this post is overdue. Beth has been bugging me for a couple weeks for this post (um, yeah! Get on the stick, there, Gin!), so since it’s my day off I should quit putting it off. She suggested I write a guest post for her blog, so I tried my hand at photographing my food for a reason other than to torture her with what I’m eating…
