Sounds like you had a fabulous time! I'm embarrassed to say I still haven't been to the Hillcrest market...I end up at either Pacific Beach on Sat. mornings (small with lots of cut flowers) or La Jolla on Sun. mornings (larger with great produce, prepared foods, and lots of other merchandise). Coconut pancakes do sound lovely ; )

A cursory glance through the rambling list of sites in the right sidebar of this site will quickly inform you that I have a very small universe. I have a special focus on fellow Bay Area food bloggers; beyond that, I regularly monitor a handful of others around the world. But by and large, of ...
jontyv -- I usually include between 1/2 and 3/4 c. of nuts to a recipe like this. It's a matter of taste to us since the nuts just add crunch. With walnuts, I'd add 1/2 c. because the flavor is strong. Sorry for leaving the quantity out of the ingredient list -- I hadn't noticed that.

I try not to post sweets two days in a row. I know it's not like there's a rule somewhere that I should be following, so it must have happened without my realizing it. In much the same way that sweets are savored when they're available around here, I plan when they'll be posted as well, hoping...

Hey Jill -- Glad you were able to try these biscuits. I've been using this recipe about 15 years and have never had it turn out poorly. Happy any time to help you look good for your folks. Hahahaha! Oh, and I moved. This recipe along with all the others on this site are over at http://sassandveracity.com
See you there?

Perfect Buttermilk Biscuits (and gravy on the side...)
Yesterday, my huzbink called mid day to say he was coming home. His back hurt for some strange reason and he wanted to lay down. In no time at all, that's just what he did -- on the bed, heating pad and all. I couldn't help but think that he was overreacting, but knew I could make him feel be...
Hi Erin, Thanks for taking the time to stop by and try a recipe. Because the flavor of these cookies was so amazing, I'll definitely try your suggestions, so thanks for letting me know what worked for you. I'm no longer posting at this site, but have migrated all these recipes over to my new site http://sassandveracity.com
Hope to see you there!

Ginger Sandwich Cookies with Lemon Cream Filling
Dear Nick Malgieri, I saw your Ginger Sandwich Cookies filled with lemon cream in a recent issue of Food & Wine magazine and decided I'd give them a try. Although gingersnaps have never been and will never be a cookie I find myself craving, the lemon filling did catch my attention and I thought...
Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for taking the time to include so much info on your comment. That's what makes this all so much more interesting. Thanks especially for the notice on leaving the eggs out. I think sometimes it takes me so long to write these up, invariably I leave something out. I'll go back through it and correct it. Also, if you can, please visit my new site http://sassandveracity.com I'm no longer posting here but have migrated all these posts to the new site. Thanks again for taking the time to share your great adaptations to this recipe so others can enjoy them!

Apple Walnut Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
I believe that I'm a muffin person more so than a cupcake person. Muffins seem to be less work, more humble, and are at least somewhat capable of providing flavor without a lot of sugar so I can dupe myself into thinking that the morsel I'm about to pop into my mouth is good for me. Then I c...
Hi Deanna -- I'm glad you enjoyed it especially because it's reminded me to make it again. We LOVED this! Maybe I'll just get a bit more fancy this time, too and try to update my yellow photos. *sigh*

Okay. Enough with the sugar already. On to the buttah. Oh. Yah. Ahem. So if you've been scouring this little corner of Bloggsville, you've probably figured out I have a problem with cooking magazines. Mmmm-Hmmm. And I've been trying to kick that habit to help save a few trees, but I just c...
Thanks Caron. The red frill mustard is definitely hard to come by. Searches brought up mostly seed suppliers, and a few farmer's markets. Number one spot was Specialty Produce.

One of the difficulties that arises when I cook is not being able to find particular ingredients. Most often, the item is one of a few featured in a recent issue of a food magazine I enjoy, and because the content is seasonal, one would believe that finding those ingredients might be easier. ...
Haley, that radish dish is AMAZING. I loved the pickled veggies. So easy and so many things you can do with it. Excellent!

As the morning unfolds on this the day of the February Daring Baker's reveal, I'm proud to say I finished my challenge a few weeks ago, which could imply that this post was written and ready to auto publish at midnight. But no. I guess that with respect to me, it is possible to be too organi...
Thanks for your advice, Laurie. Honestly, I've been a diligent recipe follower for this type of dish and it's amazing that not one has said to spread everything out. I am TOTALLY trying that next time because I know that what you're saying about the oil and roasting has to end up making so much more flavor.

There's a Greek bistro not too far from where I live called Apollonia. It rates as one of the casual places I've enjoyed locally whose food has had me thinking about it long after I've eaten there. Maybe it's because I don't eat Greek food very often, and so my weary taste buds long for some...
Bristol Farms I like food Disneyland, isn't it? I'm thinking it's better that you ended up at Apollonia!

Can't wait to hear about the outcome of your dinner -- so much fun! Thanks also for the heads up on another source for Halloumi. It's quite a bit farther for me though.

Would love to had the halloumi with this. Think it would work with the pork when I try it? Definitely OPA!

Hi Sagan -- cheers to another ABBA fan! The casserole is very good -- I'm sure to keep playing around with the flavors.
Hey BD! Nope, haven't seen the play, but sent my oldest to see it in LA years ago when it first came out. Would love to go.

My husband figured out he needed to go on a diet for the first time about 5 years ago. Always a very thin man, his sedentary job caused the pounds to add up. Infuriatingly, all he had to give up was CocaCola to drop 10 pounds. Last year, since he'd never really increased his Coke intake, he had to start working out, and he lost 16 lbs. I walk, do light weights, eat balanced meals, and really have to work to lose even 2 lbs. So annoying! But congrats to you on your achievement. Guess I'll just have to work harder!

My husband was blessed with a fast metabolism. For years, I've complained that he could eat and eat and eat, and I was the one who ended up gaining weight. Deep down, I think I did blame him for my weight gain. After all, in my single gal days, I would come home from work and chow down on a 300...
I love the way you've described this and miss the wide-eyed wonder young children have for the world and its events. I do enjoy having great discussions with my older boys now, though, because I am one who will always struggle to keep any emotion -- especially about politics -- in check!

Hey Ginerva -- It is droolworthy. Especially the grilled cheese. And surprisingly, it went off without a hitch. Unless you count egg yolks and yeasty liquid all over my counter a hitch. Yep, it leaked. Heh.

I'm wondering if this post begins where it just ended -- with a grilled cheese sandwich that if I wasn't so full of right now, would have me back in the kitchen putting together another. In thinking about it though, I'm not sure if it was the apple smoked cheddar and sopressata, or the bread....

Excellent way to put quite a bit into a nice and tidy post. Well done! I supposed I should actually try and get paid for a few of my words. I have looked into editing and proofreading. Just haven't followed through. Currently, I'm involved in grant writing. I guess that counts.
