I have a friend who insists that I'm Jewish (she claims that my brisket is solid evidence that I am a tribe member). I must confess to a fondness of chicken liver pate, gefilte fish and religious services followed by cake - and Matzo Ball Soup. I came to matzo ball soup a little later … Continue reading Irish Girl Matzo Ball Soup

Perhaps the best cookies ever –
If you're making one loaf, you may as well make two.While I was dusting my counter with flour this morning in preparation of resting some No-Knead Bread, I noticed a recipe on the back of the Gold Medal bag: "Oatmeal-Chocolate Chip Cookies" I immediately decided to add another round of baking into the day.

I think eating a couple of fresh eggs a week is an easy way to add important protein, minerals and vitamins to my diet and damn, it's so easy! This morning I was feeling like something soft and creamy so the natural … Continue reading Scrambled
