Caesar Dressing | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/caesar-dressing
On May 4, 2010. Caesar salads always remind me of my friend Top Gun. Well, her and my mom. My mom was introduced to chicken Caesar salads in the early ’90s, when they were ubiquitous on restaurant menus, and she loved them. In another, more accurate sense, she did. Like Caesar salad at all; what she liked was lettuce with chicken and croutons. This led to lots of befuddlement amongst restaurant servers, who’d stare at my mom blankly when she’d order a Caesar salad with ranch dressing. My mom’s home...

2015 | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2015
Archive for 2015 Yearly archive page. On January 12, 2015. We’ve taken a break from cooking together. The other reason we haven’t been cooking/blogging much lately is that The Burger is decidedly: Over It. Do you want to help me make dinner? She’ll say, sounding for all the world like an aggrieved sixteen-year-old who’s been asked one too many times why she doesn’t want to have family board game night anymore. I’m not a chef anymore! I’m just a kid now! A word here about expectations. Likewise, we let he...

Goat | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/goat
On March 29, 2010. It’s time to face the music. And by “music” I mean “the goat meat piling up in our freezer.” Our monthly meat CSA. Sends us amazing beef filets and spare ribs, rose veal chops and kabobs, lamb sausage and shanks… and goat meat. Lots of goat meat. Which, through no fault of its own, keeps getting shoved deeper and deeper into the freezer. Squeamishness or nice-clean-people-don’t-eat-goat-meat. And the New York Times. But first I had to take a detour, because this spice jar — label...

Book Club | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/book-club
We’re on hiatus! No formal book clubbery until 2015, since we’re too busy baking cookies, cleaning up spilled sprinkles, crossing items off our holiday to-do lists, and cooking. Oh, and working. Sigh. In the meantime, if you read anything great, let us know — we’ll add it to our to-read list! Become a virtual member of our book club! Brian Wansink’s Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. Why we will eat more M&Ms from a multi-colored bowl than a mono-colored bowl? Is the story of Bruni’s l...

Creamed Herring | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2010/07/26/creamed-herring
On July 26, 2010. Question: How is it possible that I’m Swedish, from Wisconsin, and have never-before-now had creamed pickled herring in all my years of existence? Answer: Because it’s gross, that’s why. This past weekend, the husband and I went up to Wisconsin to visit friends and family, and also to eat. We poked around Madison for a couple days, and did all of the obligatory/awesome Madison things:. Ate Babcock Hall Dairy ice cream. Made right on campus;. At Willy Street Co-op;. At the Weary Traveler;.

Palm Sugar | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/palm-sugar
On April 18, 2010. Week 9, part 1. I really wanted to do an-every-kind-of-sugar-in-the-pantry taste test, but first I had to call the cops. One auspicious Saturday morning, I woke up to the strains of some terrible song with terrible lyrics (“put it in your mouth”? 8220;I’m the plumber tonight, I’ll check your pipes”? I iced some coffee, shut the windows, and pulled all of the ingredients for pad thai and my sugar-by-sugar taste test out of the cabinets. After another hour of earsplitsville, I’d ha...

Pita | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/pita-2
On March 12, 2010. We had hummus. We had some amazing grass-fed lamb shoulder from our meat CSA. That I’d two-day-marinated in olive oil, garlic, cumin, red onion and crushed red pepper. We had red onion, tomato, cucumber and lettuce. The only thing we didn’t have was pita. So, because I reeaaaallly did not feel like going to the store, Week 4’s project decided itself. I checked out recipes from James Beard’s. And Paul Hollywood’s. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour. Divide the dough into six ...

English Muffins | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/english-muffins
On May 15, 2010. Week 13, but not really. I made these English muffins weeks ago, but didn’t get around to writing this until now. More accurately, they didn’t turn out perfectly, so I didn’t want to write this. I still kind of don’t. Didn’t feel like writing this. Much less posting pictures. There are lots of recipes for homemade English muffins out there, including one by Alton Brown. In a small saucepan, whisk 1 cup milk. With 2 tablespoons sugar. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour. Then sti...

How It All Began, and How It’s All Changed | Glitter & Breadcrumbs
https://glitterandbreadcrumbs.wordpress.com/2014/11/24/how-it-all-began-and-how-its-all-changed
How It All Began, and How It’s All Changed. On November 24, 2014. In marketing-speak, I guess you’d call it a rebranding. Or a relaunch. Or a repositioning. Whatever you want to call it, it’s truer and better. The whole thing started years ago when I made a New Year’s Resolution. And it worked, mostly, for a while. I tried all kinds of new junk. I cooked goat. I called the cops. And ate creamed herring. These two events were entirely unrelated to each other.). What the hell was I doing in here, anyway.
