The elderberries in my backyard are ripening, which is pretty remarkable considering they went from flowers to ripe berries in just 2 short months. Now the question is... what to do with them? Has anyone cooked with elderberries before? I did make a small amount of elderberry syrup last year, and while it was quite tasty, it didn't exactly knock my socks off. But it was a small harvest so I didn't have enough material to do a whole lot of experimenting. This year the 2 bushes (more like ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #445
Remember at the beginning of the pandemic when flour and yeast were scarce? Btw, is this pandemic thing still going on or not? Who knows, right?! Anyway, I found a jar of yeast, very close to expiring, at the back of the fridge when I was cleaning and reorganizing it recently.

Hmm... looks like he’s been at it again... going to Sam’s Club for sample offerings and getting hooked. We used to do that together until a couple of years ago when I decided not to renew our membership. I didn’t miss it, to be honest. But they had this incredible deal recently where they slashed their membership fee by... oh I dunno, by a lot. So now once again we’re ... continue reading...

Sunday Monday salad days...??... Tuesday Wednesday salad days...??... Thursday Friday salad days...??... Saturday what a day...??... Salad all week for you...??... You know how the song goes. It’s the song of summer. Or rather, the song of warm weather. But it's not just warm out there. It's scorching hot! Who wants anything other than salad, honestly. And who wants to turn on the oven, seriously. Not me, no siree! So salad it is for me. And for everybody else. I don't hear any complaints. ... continue reading...
