Strawberry and buttermilk tartI'm terribly afraid that we're nearing the end of strawberry season around here and I'm still hoping to find myself a cheap and tasty flat of berries out of which to make preserves, but just in case, here's what happened at the beginning of strawberry season.When I high-tailed it to the first farmers markets of the season a few weeks… |

Welcome home, baby boy!Apparently I've been on hiatus for a while. That was unintentional. Anyway I'm back now and have a little news!As you know, I'm pretty crazy about dogs, especially a little fluffy white one named Lucy. She's been the pride and joy of my little domestic sphere since she joined my family in December of 2006. Now she's getting ready… |

Bourbon Tasting Goodies: Braided Chocolate Sweet BreadLast weekend we were invited to a bourbon tasting at our friends Sam and Andrea's house. We're in a bit of a bourbon phase - delicious stuff, that - so we were really excited to go. When I asked Andrea (that's her below, with all those little cups of bourbon) what I should bring, she requested something bready and filling to sop up… |

Freezer-clearing: Grape SorbetLast fall, as you know, I picked a bumper crop of Concord Grapes (with my friend Christine's help) from my back yard. We made a big big batch of grape jelly out of about 1/3 of that crop and I stuck the rest of them in the freezer. Last week, I started getting fed up with having the freezer full of grapes and so I decided to make… |

Public Service Announcement: Banana Soda BreadI'm not much of a bread baker. Not for lack of interest or desire, but because of an insurmountable laziness (I know the 5-minutebooks are meant to be great, but really? Five minutes a day?). It seems like I would have to really overcome inertia to get some starter started. And I'm probably never going to get it together enough to… |

Happy Swirls: Cinnamon RollsOver Christmas last year, my mom made these amazing potato cinnamon rolls. I ate something like five of them in a day. They were light, cinnamon-y, and luxurious.I mean, cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite things - you all know how I feel about spice in baked goods; I even like those Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (you know the ones… |

May Cake: Christine's Birthday CakeIt's always nerve-wracking to meet the significant other of a close friend. So many questions: Will I like her? Will she like me? How will this change my friendship with my close friend? What on earth will happen if we don't get along?It's very easy at times like these to jump to a variety of worst case scenarios, but in my… |

April Cake: Double HeaderAnyone who's ever been in the Jones household during one of my and my sister's visits home knows that my mom loses all sense of proportion in the kitchen, cooking every one of our requests, old favorites, and new recipes that she can cram into a usually already-crammed schedule. As luck would have it, I have a similar disregard for… |

New recipe adventures: Barbara Lynch's StirOccasionally you find yourself (by which I mean I find myself) arrested by an outfit, a magazine, a dish, a piece of cake or some other thing that you simply must own. This happened with me several weeks ago when, browsing in a bookstore, I found Barbara Lynch's Stir:Mixing It Up in the Italian Tradition. It's a very pretty book -… |
