food

(Cue Billy Mays voice) Does your white bread often look like this after you've gotten it home from the grocery store? Mine too. And it has ticked me off forEVER. Ask my sons, *every* time I'm in the store I wonder aloud why bread manufacturers don't use something more sturdy to package bread. Drives me nuts. Well, no more — I...

This Sunday is food from the 1920s !...

Well there is an all expenses paid holiday to Dunk Island up for grabs on kidspot for it's top 50 bloggers and I just have to enter and win because our last family holiday was back in 2007. You see having 3 children in less than 3 years means that just the thought of a holiday sends us into a panic.....and...

look at this yummy bread. oh.so.good. i've not been making enough bread lately. i do hate buying bread. be it from the shops in a plastic bag (eeekkkkk hate that) or from the bakery in a paper bag (a much better option than plastic, and i can take my own paper bag to reuse. but the " gourmet " bakeries around...

We went to our local produce stand and bought more tomatoes, more peaches, more squash, more plums...summer is all about MORE, isn't it? (As winter is about doing more with less.) I plan to make a tomato pie, a sub sandwich pizza (Mr Hunting Creek invented it this morning) and another peach cake. This peach cake is a little simpler than...

I had a beautiful shrimp tray in the fridge - but nothing to serve with it. So - I started thinking cold salad - I mean it's been hot in Seattle this week. Channon suggested a Three Bean Salad - but I vetoed that - JB doesn't like 3 Bean Salad. Then I started thinking Cucumber Salad or maybe Couscous Salad....

Smell a white peach and you will remember that peaches are cousins to roses. They smell like the most heavenly sweet perfume. Some perfume company should make a white peach perfume. When I'm not standing over the sink sucking down white peaches like a demented peach vampire, I try to think of peach desserts to make. Something besides peach pie, and...

Well, I’m alive and kicking. The baby is doing little flutters that don’t really feel like anything beyond gas, but that’s another story…..lol. I have not been sewing, but have managed to get in a little knitting here and there. I am working on the Hooded Cardigan from the More Kisses! book by Sirdar Spinning Ltd. I am using the suggested...

I really enjoyed reading this post by Steph at 3 Hours Past the Edge of the World . It is thought-provoking. I heartily agree with her idea to ignore advertising (or at least notice how ridiculous it is) And I ate some food today. In New York City. With these fine ladies... Sigrid, NancyK, moi and LindseyT Oh.It.Was.Fun!! I'll post more...

Before the kids arrived, I loved to cook. I would spend a large majority of my day planning dinners (read - boring job and lots of time at a computer). After work, I would swing by the market, get the produce and get home to cook. I enjoyed the whole process. Enter children and cooking unfortunately has become just another 'job'....

It has begun. The quilting of the ugly hexes. I've opted for hand quilting, and decided on a simple design of intersecting circles. Simple in theory, anyway. I'm finding it slow going, but not really in that pleasant, lulling, meditative way I had hoped. It's taking a while to get a hang of lots of things: marking out my design; burying...

I have been collecting felt food tutorials for awhile now and have too many for a single post so I decided to compile them into a photo album, over there on the right. I still have more to add but......

I had dinner at The Bazaar last Saturday.  It was a great dinner despite the fact that I had some weird stomach issues going on.  But after waiting for 1.5 months for a reservation at a reasonable time, I was not going to let a little stomach bug keep me away.  You can enjoy just [...]...

Did I mention I was getting a new camera ? Well, it arrived and I'm super excited! Naturally I had to try it out but what to photograph? Fresh cookies would do - Yum! The recipe for them is here. And here's another shot from the camera ;)...

As it is know to some and not know to a few, it is a fact that I love, just love, watching the Food network. I like most things on there, like the Food network Challenges. I like it when they make it the cake challenges the most, but I will watch all of them. Some new shows have arrived like...

I got caught! {wry grin} I served up morning tea to friends a couple of weeks ago only to have Mummy S say... "I love this cake! You must give me the recipe" No problem, right? Except... I cheated on that cake! I used a... packet mix {gasp!} I confessed and we all smiled about it but I thought I'd share...

Photo Link I thought you'd enjoy seeing this card, which was about half-full of snaps when I got it. It was part of my grandmother's sewing things. I've no idea when she might have bought it. Although I do remember Penney's having a sewing and fabric department, I don't think snaps were 4 cents then. Now they're apparently about $1.50 for...

I've been baking, using my favourite ingredient. Yummy wool felt! I love felt food. Last year for the birthdays of my nieces and fairy goddaughter (three birthdays in 12 days) I made felt tarts. This year I wanted to enjoy the relaxation of hand sewing in front of the telly again, but make it a little different. So I started by...

At the organic market on the weekend I got some lovely looking rainbow chard (or silverbeet, I'm not actually sure if they are the same or different, but ours had rainbow stems). We decided to make chard + feta pie, which of course is very yummy, but also quite simple to make. I made mine very simply - and both the...

Back in March, I boldly declared my meal planning intentions as a way of helping my family to nurture sustainable, responsible eating habits. With two small children, one extremely fussy and limited in his food choices, I was seeking a way to streamline our meals, our shopping, and our time. My hope was to avoid food waste, minimize time in the...
