  • The Tucci Cookbook

    I love reading cookbooks, even if I don’t make any recipes from them, I like looking at the pictures, reading the descriptions, and imagining the possibilities.  This is my latest favourite, even though I haven’t made anything from it yet.  It’s a gorgeous book, the recipes sound amazing (and don’t appear to be too difficult),…

  • Fall Sunset

    I spent a very frustrating day off setting up my new laptop. I had hoped to go out late this afternoon to try to take some fall scene pictures, but by then I was just frustrated, so that’s when I take to the kitchen!  I made meatloaf (which when you think about is a really…

  • Tomatoes!

(You’ll notice I’m not very precise with my measurements!)  This is also my first…

  • chocolate, banana, blueberry

    I worked this weekend, so I’m off for the next two days. The forecast for today was rainy and cool so I decided I was going to bake bread.  I love to cook, but I’m not a great baker, and I’ve never made a loaf of bread before from scratch. I used a basic whole…
