Ode to an Apple Corer Peeler Slicer

Friday, October 14th, 2011 by 

Mmm…the warm smell of cinnamon and browning pie crust is like no other. I can hardly wait. It’s a rainy autumn day, and I’m getting together with friends later. With a few free hours this morning to do laundry and other domestic homey things, I might as well also bake a treat to share with those friends.

Panini’s…A Summer Favorite!

Monday, June 20th, 2011 by 

My latest kitchen appliance purchase was made recently here in Hastings. After a few weeks of trials and taste tests, I am very happy to report that this applicance will stay in the kitchen and not be down-graded to the upper cabinets in the laundry room.

Christmas didn’t go quite as planned – and after being stuck in the house for three days we’re out of goodies. With guests coming soon, we decided to try our hand at making fudge. Turns out, it’s pretty easy. (Saving it for New Years may not be.)
