Here is the recipe I’m using for this year’s cranberry sauce, courtesy of People’s co-op:
Cranberry Sauce
2 c. fresh, local cranberries
6 tbsp. raisins
6 oz. frozen apple juice, undiluted
1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
1 tsp fresh, grated ginger
Also, I totally forgot to include stuffing on my last post, the Thanksgiving menu. Of course there will be stuffing for [...]

Juniper Granita
Posted in Cooking, Gluten-free vegan, Recipes, Restaurants, Thanksgiving, tagged Travel Oregon cookbook on November 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Travel Oregon put together a really awesome Oregon-themed cookbook that highlights autumn ingredients. The recipes are gathered from restaurants around Oregon. What a great idea. Methinks I’ll be printing this out and trying a bunch of stuff, including the crazy-but-very-right-sounding Juniper Granita. Between this cookbook and the Bon Appetit Thanksgiving planner, I think I’ll be [...]

More dog torture:
And for those of you looking for a last-minute Halloween treat, this pumpkin fudge is quite easy and surprisingly tasty. Here it is in the pan on its way to work with me:
Happy Halloween to all!
Cocktail Blast from the Past

The wonders of the Internet…you know, when people from your deep, dark past contact you out of the blue and shock you so hard you lose your breath? Yep, I just had one of those moments.
But it’s a HAPPY moment! (thank goodness…hoooooo, have I heard some sto-ries!) This person, we’ll call him George, completely blew [...]

Did I wake up this morning and it’s already September 1st? How is that possible? And yet, already I feel those strange cool breezes and notice the sun acting funny, setting a lot earlier than it should. Alas, I have a mere twenty-one days of summer left to enjoy.
Thankfully, the weather actually seems to be [...]
Growing My Dinner Salad

Look, Look, LOOK at this!!!
It’s my first garden salad of the year! By that I mean that I grew everything in this bowl. Well, I didn’t grow it, I put the seeds in the ground and they grew themselves, like great little children. And now, I must eat them!
What we have here are: spinach, rouge [...]
The Melon-Eye

When I was a kid, my parents would often take my older sisters, brother, and I back to their small hometown in California’s Central Valley. Think cotton fields, dust, unbelievable heat, drive-in movie theaters, strawberry soda, and the smell of alfalfa everywhere. One of my uncles, whom I’ll call Floyd Owens, was a real character. [...]

My apologies for taking so long to post once again. I got busy with moving NS and getting the chicken feet. The feet handoff went very smoothly and included freshly picked strawberries and a jalapeno plant from my sister’s garden. The strawberries were spectacular and may have inspired me to actually try planting some myself [...]
Seriously Good Crackers

Most of the recipes I post here are pretty good. But these crackers are REALLY good! In fact, I have to stop making them because they are really TOO good (i.e., addictive). The problem is that they are crunchy, which is something one sorely lacks when one is not eating grains. These are a riff [...]

Seems like I haven’t posted a recipe in a while, though I have been working on several. Here’s a photo of the very scientific way in which recipes are developed at AFFFG:
This lime ice cream was created as a result of the heap of key limes we had leftover after the keylime cheesecake experiment (which [...]
