Yes, another food blog.
8/28/22 Update: Our text from our original post/recipe is below, but the recipe is the updated version. We've made this one a few times this summer - it is fig season after all - and want to update the recipe just a smidge for how we're currently enjoying it. Plus new pictures! =========================================================== Ok y’all.... Continue Reading →
I've been trying and coming up short of what exactly to write for this post. So let me start by copying and pasting what I wrote on social media not long after her death. Yesterday, we celebrated the life of my amazing grandmother. She was a mother to seven, grandmother to 23, and great-grandmother to... Continue Reading →
Farmer's market season is here! We finally have joined a Farm Share, after wanting to for years. (See our farm's explanation for those not familiar with the concept.) We're hoping that this will help us to eat more locally grown and seasonal produce, as well as prompt us to try new items that we don't... Continue Reading →
What to do when you bought a whole bunch of cilantro, planning to make guacamole for National Guacamole Day yesterday, but get home only to discover that your avocados are all bad? We were way too lazy to go back out for avocados, so decided to save our bunch of cilantro for tonight and our... Continue Reading →
We made this light lemon aioli to dip our Shrimp Beignets in, which was a nice contrast the the fried spiciness of the beignets. This aioli is light and almost delicate - not so sour as to make your mouth pucker! It worked great as a dip for our beignets, but I think it... Continue Reading →
Ok y'all. Remember that fig chutney that we made last weekend to go on top of some roast pork (Pork Tenderloin with Fig Chutney)? We've been talking about it all week. It was that good! So good that we felt the need to make it again and share it as a standalone recipe. The super... Continue Reading →
As you've seen with some of our other recipes, like our pimento cheeses (Garlic & Truffle Pimento Cheese & Southern Pimento Cheese), we've learned that making our own mayonnaise and/or aioli is so much easier that we ever would have assumed previously. Yes, whisking it all together takes a little bit of muscle, but it's really... Continue Reading →
Most people out there enjoy a good snack, but on Ally's mom's side of her extended family, they really embrace the snacking thing. When they're together for a holiday or any sort of large gathering, they don't just have three meals in a day. They add a fourth, solely devoted to snacks. Somewhere along the... Continue Reading →
Pickles again? Didn't we just do that? Yes, yes we did. I've been munching on the Midnight Quick Pickles from last week out of my fridge pretty much every day. Sorry for the repetition, but sometimes I can't help the order of our culinary diary. This weekend, Selim's parents came to visit us in... Continue Reading →
During our years living in Columbia, we loved going to the Soda City Market on Main Street in downtown Columbia. Now that we live in Richmond, we've turned to the South of the James market for our Saturday morning perusing. For better or for worse, Soda City Market isn't exactly a farmers market in our...
