 Turkey tetrazzini is one of my favorite childhood foods, but could I build a better tetrazzini, a meatless one? Mushrooms are often the default meat substitute because of their meaty texture and flavor, but this already has mushrooms in the sauce so I set off for the Sunday Headhouse farmers’ market in search of inspiration, and […]  If a mom thinks about a cookie, and thinking leads to procuring, and being unsatisfied with procurement leads to baking cookies, which inevitably leads to the most important question there is, soft or crisp? I am a crisp cookie person, my daughter prefers hers soft. When I bake cookies I often resolve this by pulling one batch from the oven […]  I was going to write about cookies today, but the news last night from Paris makes cookies seem beyond trivial, and writing about them makes me feel blind and deaf to the world around me.
