Our culinary diary
Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden is a cookbook we keep coming back to again and again, after discovering it during our Cookbook Club adventures. This recipe in particular, we've made a few dozen times. We initially tried it after getting some radishes, which is what the original recipe uses and a vegetable we don't often... Continue Reading →
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! We both love Thanksgiving, and Selim is extra happy this year because I made him his favorite Thanksgiving treat - pumpkin pie! Selim has very strong feelings about pie and dessert in general, and this pie was deemed worthy of Thanksgiving! (I actually made three pies... Continue Reading →
So it seems like our cookbook club is the only thing that's keeping us blogging this fall... I guess that's a good thing! We're still really enjoying participating and are loving the variety of cookbooks selected. For November, we're cooking (or baking as it were!) through Sister Pie, by Lisa Ludwinski. The selection is certainly... Continue Reading →
Today's the last day of September and therefore the last day of our first month of the Kitchn Cookbook Club. We did an even better job than anticipated of cooking through Salt Fat Acid Heat, by Samin Nosrat. We shared our Pasta with Clams & Sausage and Chocolate Cupcakes with Rosewater Cream, but we also...

It's well documented on this blog (and if you know me in real life...) that I don't like/am mildly terrified of baking. But every fall, like clockwork, I feel the need to bake something with apples in it. It's a personal rite of fall passage, along with my need to decorate with tiny gourds, take... Continue Reading →
We're not really a picky couple when it comes to meat. We pretty much like it all. Our weekly routine usually consists of two nights of fish or other seafood, a night of beef, and pretty much the rest of the nights with chicken of some variety. We also love lamb, goat, duck, and all... Continue Reading →
We may have mentioned it once or twice, but we're big fans of wine in general and Virginia wine in particular. We used to live in Charlottesville, the de facto capital of Virginia wine country. There are many perks to living in Charlottesville, but definitely one of them is the proximity to the many wines... Continue Reading →
I've had this recipe pinned for a long time, because I knew Selim would like it, but I found it really intimidating. When I bake, things just never turn out as pretty as the should. {I blame my friend/old roommate Terry - she is an amazing baker/dessert wizard. I'm just assuming that when we lived together, any...

Some friends of our were getting together for a Sunday evening get together, nothing fancy, but of course we wanted to bring something tasty. Since it's technically autumn (even though it's 85 & humid here in SC), spiced cookies sounded delicious and with chocolate, you can't go wrong, right? Spiced desserts are fun to make...

It's finally fall! We've been waiting through the hottest summer of our lives for the cooler temperatures to finally get here. We had to wait until October for all that, but at least my favorite month hasn't disappointed yet. While it seems like everyone else marks the changing of the seasons with a pumpkin spice latte,...
