Friday Find | Charlie Trotter: The Kitchen Sessions

by Lizzy 8 November 2013 Friday Find

I grew up most of my life without cable television. During my formative years living in Germany, there was exactly one American channel run by the Armed Forces Network. When I watched from the late 1970s through the mid 1990s, it made CSPAN look like primetime TV. My friends and I eagerly awaited VHS tapes […]

Crabtree & Evelyn Jojoba Oil Hand Recovery

by Lizzy 1 November 2013 Friday Find

If you’re as, ahem, particular as I am about washing your hands while cooking, you’ll appreciate any hydrating hand product. Especially during the cooler months, I find that my hands become exceptionally dry and itchy. Aside from copious amounts of thick, hand cream I find little relief.

It’s not fair; Italy has all the best food – chocolate, cheese, olive oil, truffles, and pasta. That is, until last year. Giovanni Rana, long renowned for his fresh pastas in Italy, opened his first state-of-the-art factory in the U.S. Take that Italy!

by Lizzy 11 October 2013 Food

Remember this popcorn? Included in the lovely gift box my friend gave me was this locally made Roxanne cheese from Prairie Fruits Farm. It’s slightly nutty flavor paired perfectly with truffle salt and popcorn.

I had a milestone birthday this year and really struggled with moving into a new age bracket. Being summoned into another decade, I felt, was the nail in the coffin of 2013. Due to fabulous friends, I had a magnificent party including treats and gifts that show my friends really understand me.

Friday Find | Truffle Salt

by Lizzy 27 September 2013 Food

I like truffles whether black, white or chocolate. Given my affinity for bacon, I think I’m fascinated that female pigs sniff out ground truffles – they’re a nose ahead of the males.

Friday Find | Baking Parchment Sheets

by Lizzy 30 August 2013 Friday Find

This week I realized I am down to my last baking parchment box. That may sound like a strange sentence as most people don’t hoard parchment, not at least since the ancient Egyptians, but I do. The past few years, I’ve gone to the Wilton Tent Sale and left with boxes of parchment to last […]

Friday Find | Bacon Muenster

by Lizzy 23 August 2013 Friday Find

I’ve established I adore bacon. It’s probably running through my veins right alongside chocolate. What’s amazing is that it’s taken me this long in my bacon discoveries to come across StoneRidge’s Bacon Muenster.
