Crunchy at Home
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, March 15, 2012
This is an indulgence, and therefore not particularly Lenten, but I did it last week and I just can’t wait until Easter to share.
Have you ever made homemade potato chips?
My goodness. If you are at all a fan of potatoes and/or fried things, you must try this.
These are not your grocery store’s potato chips. They’re a different breed entirely: with strong potato flavor and exactly as salty and crisp... READ MORE
Make Way for Thespian Potatoes
Posted by Celeste Behe in Food on Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Most often featured in a supporting role on burger platters, or as a stand-in to bulk up a meal, the potato takes center stage in this production.
And why not? It’s a versatile crowd-pleaser that plays well opposite assertive flavor divas like pesto and barbecued onions. It’s satisfying, inexpensive, easy to prepare, and microwaveable. With all that it has going for it, the potato deserves a wider... READ MORE

Danielle’s recipe for mashed potato soup looks wonderful, and I’ve bookmarked it to try the next time we need a warm, comforting winter meal. (Soon.) Cheap, easy, and delicious is a trifecta that will draw me to a recipe every time!

A Marvelous Meatless Meal

I know it’s not Lent right now, but I’d be willing to bet we have some readers whose families practice abstinence from meat on all the Fridays of the year.
Our family doesn’t do that particular discipline, but tonight we had my sister and her family over for dinner, and they do, so we had a meatless meal.
I know I shared recipes yesterday, but this dinner is such a good family-favorite standby that... READ MORE
Gross Fly City
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Homemaking on Wednesday, September 23, 2009
I could not figure out where the fruit flies were coming from.
It seemed like they were everywhere, touching down on any piece of fruit I left out in the kitchen. Two even turned up inside a bag of bread.
I checked under the edges of the cupboards, under the table, behind the small appliances on the countertops, any place a stray piece of fruit could have rolled or been dropped. Nothing.
