Almost everyone I know loves rice pudding.  When I owned The Hungry Moon I made it at least three times a week, but when was the last time you made it?  I know it’s been years for me, and it’s time to make some, right now! Winter is the perfect season for rice pudding; you […]

    Walker Thornton - I’ve never made rice pudding–it wasn’t something we had as children though I do recall getting rice with a little butter and sugar occasional. But, this recipe looks divine so I’m off to the store for cream!ReplyCancel

Last week was a double header at COOK Masters program, and though I am still reeling from the whirlwind bread baking class that James Barrett from Metropolitan Bakery miraculously crammed into two hours, The Sauce class left me giddy and literally sauced (and not in a Chris Christie kind of way).  The class was led […]

People cook for all sorts of reasons, for some it is a drudgery that must be endured, for me it is always from the heart.  I cook, not just because it is a way to express my love for others— though that is certainly one reason, but also because I love the alchemy of cooking. […]

    Jhanis - I cook because it relaxes me and I get to listen to my thoughts in the process. I am not sure if that’s a good thing or what. 🙂
    I cringed because I am one of those lousy cooks who pour love into their recipes, and still the food is bad but lucky enough to have a family who are willing to swallow burnt stuff. Hahaha. I am just happy to say that I am improving (I think!).ReplyCancel

I am still fairly new to the world  universe of Costco, and I would say at this point I have a love/hate relationship with them.  As you know my resolve is weak, and when I cruise the aisles of Costco in search of items that have become my Costco staples; the organic chicken stock, the […]

    Amy - Funny Is Family - The only reason I had kids was to shop at Costco. I’m kidding! Or am I? We buy most of our meat there, package it with our FoodSaver, and freeze it. Great quality, good prices.ReplyCancel

    Rhonda - I also have a love/hate relationship with Costco. Sometimes it’s hard to pass up some of their great deals.

    Pesto. Have you tried the Kirkland pesto? I like to make my own, but in the middle of the winter it really isn’t happening. Kirkland pesto is the next best thing.ReplyCancel

    Larks - You know, I’m actually a bit scared to get a Costco membership. I’m worried I’d go *nuts*. But I like your rule about not buying anything you wouldn’t buy at your local market.ReplyCancel

Spoiler alert, there is no recipe for stuffed peppers to be found anywhere in this post, or anywhere @The Chef’s Last Diet. Because this is my site, I get to decide what to include, what to cook, and what to talk about, and I don’t like stuffed peppers. I do like stuffed other things, like […]
