Today’s Food Memories installment is from my sister in law. It’s a perfect example of how our Food Memories can be of something old or something new. Or a little of both. She says:
“I make these for the kids and our guests at the lake; what a treat. Fried with just the powdered sugar topping [...]

I am, what you might call, a wee bit compulsive. I’ll go through phases where I’ll try and find as many possible variations on a recipe or ingredient as possible. I’ll exhaust myself trying something countless different ways. It’s like I’m possessed by a singular focus. And then, just as abruptly as the urge struck [...]
Yeast 1 – BAH 1

At the end of 2009, I had to shoot my mouth off and say that I had decided to face my fear of yeast. I even suggested to The Mistah that The Bread Bible would make a great Christmas gift and sure enough, there was a copy of it under our tree. And as I [...]
Dutch Baby

Our breakfast routine gets, well, routine sometimes. As in, boring. As in, I cannot eat another scrambled egg if my life depended on it. So we find ourselves looking for ways to spice things up. This usually happens on the weekend when we have more time to wander about in the kitchen. It goes something [...]
Life is Better with Bacon
Posted in Breakfast/Brunch, Cooking, Food, Photo, Recipe, tagged Bacon, Brown Sugar Bacon Waffles, joythebaker.com, Mission Statement on 23 November 2009 | 14 Comments »
If I had a personal mission statement, without a doubt it would include the following:
Life is better with bacon.
As a matter of fact, that may be the mission statement in its entirety. It’s concise and to the point. And, the evidence overwhelmingly suggests it is indisputably, irrefutably true. What evidence, you ask. I submit Brown [...]
Foolin’

This post originally appeared on Exit 51 and incorrectly listed 4 egg yolks instead of whites. What the heck was I thinking?
Fool me once…shame on you. Fool me twice…won’t get fooled again. Or some such nonsense.
But being fooled isn’t always the same as being foolish. Case in point, pancakes. I’ve never been a big pancake [...]
Poached

After the underwhelming outcome of my egg experiment, I wanted to give it another try. So I tasked my friend Google to see what other recipes were out there. The short answer is a lot. Most of the ones that I found involved baking the eggs in the oven. But there [...]
Timing

In the kitchen, timing is everything. Food is done when it’s done. You get a little wiggle room with some dishes. Others are not so forgiving. Worst of all is when you’ve unknowingly overcooked something. Like that time I made baked eggs. I was expecting something along the lines [...]
Notes on a Recipe – CI’s Buttermilk Pancakes
Posted in Breakfast/Brunch, Cook's Illustrated, Cooking, Food, Photo, Recipe, tagged Buttermilk Pancakes on 5 August 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Breakfast at our house is usually pretty routine. I make a batch of Alton Brown’s Overnight Oatmeal once a week. And I alternate that with some of SFC’s Not Quite Scrambled Eggs. They’re a cross between scrambled and over hard. Difficult to explain but very enjoyable to eat. Or, if [...]
