Little Man IceCream Any time one can break “always” – go to little man ice cream. I like LoHi better than Union Station for the decorations. this week i had Vanilla. Papa says – If the icecream maker can make vanilla – they can make […]

my favorite tradition to start off the holiday is getting together and decorating sugar cookies with family and friends. this year is sugar cookie – holiday mittens.
Best Burger in Lodo is with my parents and eating at the Capitol Grill. Truffle Fries and to die for.

The forward and acknowledgements speak to the title coming from six one-hour videocassettes of the same name. I watched these on You-tube and they are good. I had my Papa explain what videocassette technology. The introduction stated a teaching book is only as good as the index. The index is well organized from ahi tuna to stuffing zucchini flowers. The beginning of the index is beef chart where the cuts of beef as shown as a diagram. The A to Z index is easy to follow and organized.
The Introduction Julia states quite clearly that attitudes about food have changed since the 1960’s when she wrote her fist book, although the principles of good cooking has not. I agree, although reading through her cook book she uses jello in a quite usual way. I can not figure who thought of “free-form” jello and shrimp. The recipe is called Mediterranean Fish in Aspic. Is this idea crazy or brilliant? Crazy – I am not a fan. This combination must be the attitude about food from the 1960’s and gone the same way as videocassette technology.

Trivets is a simple tool for the home kitchen. It helps keep the kitchen clean and organized. The Trivet for the month of September is a tea pot to follow the blog post Mad Hatter Tea Recipe.
I enjoy a good cup of tea. When the subject of a conversation needs to change I will ask, “How is the color of the tea today?”It usually perplexes for we will say this even if we don’t have a cup of tea. Then everyone laughs and the subject of conversation changes. Tea is a big part of family tradition.
I found this story from the Mad Hatter. How to make Hot Tea (A.K.A Uncold Tea). Start at the beginning (and when you come to the end..stop). This sounds – simply stated – as a truth in life. Pour hot water over one tea bag in your cup and steep for 2 to 3 minutes (we recommend your clock be 2 days slow). That is MAD (crazy) as my clock is my phone and good tea is made in a tea pot. The recipe for a pot of tea is one bag per person and one for the tea pot. Add milk to the tea cup and add tea as to warm up the teacup , not add milk last and cool the tea down.
Mad Hatter: Move down the table to get a clean cup.
Interesting, but no. I have just read ‘A Grandfather’s Lessons’ and Shorey Pepin, has a better way getting a clean tea cup. Clearing the table and re-setting in chapter one….but then not to argue with the Mad hatter’s perspective – how is the color of tea today?
In the kitchen with Shorey has recipes that I am familiar with. I like Deviled eggs – however with out fish eggs. The book starts with setting the table. It is similar to at home, a basic setting and simply explained. Mama folds great cloth […]
