Good and Bad News

Janine E. posted an article on - Apr 17, 2010, 8:32 pm
My darling baby is six months old and starting to eat (and enjoy — I think) foods other than breastmilk! I am so pumped about teaching her about food and eating. I can’t wait for her to taste peaches for the first time (and good ones, too; none of this jarred baby food for us!) and alfalfa sprou...

Adjustments

Janine E. posted an article on - Jan 16, 2010, 1:15 pm
Little Miss Finch is cramping my style in the kitchen big time. These days, I don’t care if I use sour cream or yogurt in making banana bread; I’m just happy if I can get it into the oven on the same day that I weigh out the flour. Fresh garlic is often omitted and replaced with garlic powder, b...

Cranberry-Banana-Walnut Bread

Janine E. posted an article on - Dec 4, 2009, 4:04 pm
from Rose Levy Beranbaum’s lovely book, The Bread Bible. I think this may be the World’s Best Quickbread. In any case, I can’t quit eating or baking it. Photo…eventually. Ingredients walnuts 4 ounces 1 cup all-purpose flour 9.5 ounces 2 cups minus 1 tablespoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt...

Return to the Kitchen

Janine E. posted an article on - Nov 8, 2009, 10:29 pm
The baby arrived three weeks ago. We named her Finch, for no other reason than that we like how it sounds. She gave us quite a start, insisting on being born five weeks early. And since then it’s been about sleeping and pooping and — of course — eating, around the clock. Finch’s appetite h...

Full of Stuff Cookies

Janine E. posted an article on - Sep 9, 2009, 12:28 pm
It was a fiddling kind of night. “Classic,” boring, chocolate chip cookies would not do. Replacing some of the butter with tahini gives the cookies a not-overwhelming nuttiness without compromising richness and all of the extra stuff makes them much more interesting (to make and to eat) than the...

Classic Granola

Janine E. posted an article on - Aug 19, 2009, 10:15 am
Though it’s not quite Granola Weather yet, I decided to get a jump on refining my recipe for the cool fall mornings ahead. This recipe is based on one by the same name in America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. You’re welcome to use 3 cups rolled oats instead of the triticale; it’s just that...

The Need for Green

Janine E. posted an article on - Aug 14, 2009, 12:53 pm
These days I am regularly asked, usually by people I don’t know especially well, about the state of my stomach. Have you been craving anything in particular? they want to know. I assume they are hoping to hear that I’ve been porking out on butter brickle ice cream topped with dill pickles and Co...

Vindahlo—Part Two: good eats for all

Janine E. posted an article on - Aug 7, 2009, 8:21 pm
[For the story on how we got here, you may read Vindahlo—Part One: a history.] “Listen, Sister,” the Squeeze said to me, waggling a piece of spice-crusted beef in creamy fenugreek sauce on his fork, “I’m not saying I don’t wish this was A-1.” My face must have fallen, just a little (b...

Blackberry Orange Muffins

Janine E. posted an article on - Aug 7, 2009, 4:41 pm
Trotsky went down just after five am on Thursday morning. It was quick—she was grabbed in her sleep and dragged outside. We heard her cry out once, twice, then nothing. By the time I made it down to the deck overlooking the chicken coop, the raccoon had her half way down the run. I stood above th...

Kenny and Zuke's

My experience at the delicatessen at SW Stark and 11th is admittedly limited. I have been to breakfast there only three times but was three times very, very pleased. Breakfast number one: Potato latkes and housemade applesauce, hold the sour cream. Best danged latkes of my life, seriously. I figure...
