Boys Prefer Blondies
I promised my nephews that we would make brownies - any kind that they wanted to make. In fact, we could make several different kinds in the course of an afternoon. The older one informed me that he wanted to make blondies. He thought that it would be fun and a nice change from the dark chocol...

Chocolate Mousse
There is only one dessert to eat after Coq au Vin and that dessert is chocolate mousse. Now, if you're anything like me and you love the movie "Rosemary's
Barbara, I am so sorry that you are having having to slog this out again. We will be thinking of you, sending you prayers, and saying hi on Twitter until your appetite returns. xoxoxo

A Little Break
I need a little break. After 6 months of chemo and with 6 more weeks still to cover some of the side affects are proving challenging. I need all my energy to get through my final 3 sessions. I've attempted to blog a couple of times a week by cooking and photographing on my good days to cover...
Hi Adam! Great use of the new MT4 user profile features. Love it. Love seeing people's faces.

It's Time We Finally Met
Readers, A wonderful thing has happened. The Six Apart Team has benevolently upgraded me from dusty old Movable Type 3 to sparkling new Movable Type 4. What does this mean for you? It means that, at long last, you can have user profiles! That's right. Right now, in the comments of this post,
Hi Barbara,
I thought you would be interested in this obit - which appeared today in the New York Times:

RIP Len Evans
It is a sad day in the wine industry today with the death of Len Evans. My condolences to his family and all who knew him.
Oh my gosh, I read your post and all I could see was "Hugh Jackman". I'm so envious. ;-)
Have a great time, and please give a big hello to The Old Foodie for me, I really love her site.

I'm on Holiday
I'm soooo over this winter weather we are having in Auckland. Two weeks in sunny Queensland is just what the doctor ordered. The suitcases are packed and we are off on Wednesday. We will spend a few days in Brisbane , a night with friends at Tambourine Mountain then up to Noosa to relax by ...
Wow, that sounds like an outstanding recipe! Thanks for sharing.

Wok's For Dinner
Barbecued Spareribs...I've been making this recipe for about 20 years now. It is one of those recipes I've cut out of a magazine...I don't remember which...probably Gourmet Traveller or Vogue Entertaining and Travel. My family love it. Actually one of my sons once told a chef at the hotel he...
Hi Barbara - Mitchell's right, most of us don't have scales. And those of us that do, the scales are in ounces and pounds, not grams. I'm beginning to think we're the only non-metric country in the world. Of course the right way to cook is to weigh the food, especially with baking. But that's not how any of us learned, so there you have it! We are hopelessly backward when it comes to cooking measurements. The Kitchen Sense book sounds just perfect for the everyday kind of cooking that I do. Thanks for sharing your review!

Kitchen Sense by Mitchell Davis
When Cathy at A Blithe Palate asked me to participate in the Cookbook Spotlight I jumped at the chance to receive a free cookbook. Who wouldn't? The publisher would send us the book and our instructions were to read the book, make a recipe and blog our thoughts. The book in question w...
Hah! If you only knew how little I know about cooking. I stand behind my mom and take notes half the time. That's why I write down all these recipes. I don't think mom has followed a recipe in 30 years. Now that's knowing how to cook. Of course, trying to get a recipe out of her is like pulling teeth...

Yes this is a glass of champagne. This week I had my last chemo infusion. It will be a few weeks before my taste buds return to normal and I can enjoy the taste of a glass of bubbles. There are several bottles sitting in the cellar waiting to be opened. One bottle we will take to Australia i...
Hi Barbara -
YAY is right! A toast to the end of chemo is definitely in order.
I can't wait to meet you and Celine this weekend. Hopefully the power will find a way to stay on? ;-)

Pim,
You ARE a rock star. What fun! Talk about the hottest dinner invite in town. Love the clothes. I do hope they let you keep the Missoni.

'Le Making' of Chop Talk, or Chez Pim in Style
Taking a page from Pascale and Le Making of her cookbook, I'm doing a little post on Le Making of Chop Talk. Oh come now. Don't give me that line about tooting my own horn again. It's not every day a girl finds herself all prettied up in the T Magazine. So pardon my glee but DID YOU SEE ME THE...
Wasn't that a good deal, while it lasted? (A few hours) Awesome that they threw in a pumpkin casserole too. :-)

Kitchen essentials: Le Creuset
Thank heavens I was watching my RSS reader in time to see Simply Recipes' alert yesterday for a 7-piece Le Creuset set for a mere $239. Considering each of the pans in the set retail for $100 and up, and the combined set went for $550 before the sale, we couldn't resist. Good thing we acted fas...
Une tarte, s'il vous plait! Merci beaucoup Vivienne.
Okay, that's about the extent of my written French. Sounds like a great trip, and a delicious custard.

SHF:Tarte et Île Flottante aux Pralines Roses at Aux Lyonnais
I find myself in Paris at the moment, without a kitchen of my own to concoct any custardy dish for today's Sugar High Friday - Cooking Up Custard. However, I could not possibly miss participating when the fabulous Elise of Simply Recipes gets her turn to be the hostess. So, last night, while ...
