 I haven’t posted for two weeks, and now Monday is looming large before me. What do I say, what do I write? I had (foolishly) planned a post on portobella mushroom bacon, but it turned out pretty badly, so for now that project is going back to the lab for some more R&D, and I am […]  Summer begins this weekend and it’s time for me to head for the hills, or more specifically, the mountains. As I mentioned in my anniversary post a couple of weeks ago, in the last two years I have published over 350 posts, and that’s a lot of words, and food, and cooking and clean-up. It’s time for […]
 Unless you limit yourself to sliced cheese and never go to parties, chances are you’ve been confronted with cheese rinds. I often find that guests at parties scoop the cheese out leaving the sad traces of the rind on the platter. Although most cheese rinds are edible, many people are intimidated or afraid to ask.

Peggy Gilbey McMackin - Hello Nancy and Welcome Back!
I’ve missed you over the past couple of weeks. Happy you were able to enjoy some pleasant times, beautiful scenery, and of course, great meals with good friends, although I am sorry to hear you were a bit under the weather. Uninspired cooking days for me usually amount to a few choices, Spanish omelet, curly pasta topped with sauce, or, a phone call to the local Pizzeria. Best Wishes getting back into the swing of things this week!
Karen @Baking In A Tornado - The only thing worse than being sick is being sick on vacation. Glad you were able to enjoy anyway.
You photography is exquisite, I could dive right into that soup bowl. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with when you perfect that Portabella Bacon.
