So I’ve been making meringues for years. Any time a recipe calls for an egg yolk we save the whites in a jar in the refrigerator and when someone (usually me) has a sweet tooth I whip up some meringue … Continue reading The Sunday Food Thread Experiences Meringue Madness 9/13

Another COVID holiday. We do have plans to visit with friends for afternoon drinks (unleaded in my case) on their new deck tomorrow. I do miss cooking for a crowd, we’ll probably bring some sort of treat of course, how … Continue reading Labor Day (U.S.) Sunday Food Thread 9/6

Common knowledge says breakfast is an important meal but is it your biggest meal of the day? We’ve also heard it’s not a good idea to eat a lot later in the evening. I do love a nice big breakfast … Continue reading What’s your big meal of the day? Sunday Food Thread 8/30

Here in the States we’re 5 months and change along on sheltering in and because not everyone is cooperating it doesn’t look like the end is nigh. How often are you cooking at home/getting carryout/eating out? I did a grocery … Continue reading Still Sheltering? Sunday Food Thread 8/23

About a month ago my wife read about using a pizza steel instead of a stone to get a good crisp crust on a home-cooked pizza. We’d been using a stone for years and have been quite happy with the … Continue reading Stone or Steel? Sunday Food Thread 8/16

Free for all! Tell us about what’s on the menu! (I got the header doing a google images search for “the munchies”) Continue reading Oh Crap I Forgot What Day It Is! Sunday Food Thread 8/9

Who doesn’t like a good quickbread or muffin? I’m sure there are some but I’m not among them. I often buy more bananas than I can eat so I’m sure to have some around to make banana bread, that’s easily … Continue reading Quickbreads and Muffins Sunday Food Thread 8/2

What are your dietary restrictions? Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, keto, kosher, halal, lactose intolerant, gluten sensitive… It can be a cultural, ethical or religious decision or it can be a physical necessity. What would you like to change about your diet? … Continue reading You are what you eat. Sunday Food Thread 7/26

I’m swamped with personal and work obligations this week so it’s a potluck everybody! Since it’s unlikely many of us will be able to get together with others for a potluck we may as well do one virtually. Header image … Continue reading Potluck! Sunday Food Thread 7/19

Thursday’s day thread was mushroom-centric, so today’s food thread asks your feelings about fungi. As a child/teen I was turned off by their pungency and texture and at least I finally got over myself and started eating them and never … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 7/12

I just spent a night in the hospital, a small surgery that was planned (delayed due to COVID) not an emergency. I was up in a room by lunch time and they served me lunch, dinner, and breakfast the next … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 7/5

My stepson who’s been living in quarantine with us since mid-March left to go back to his own place Saturday so I made pancakes! Continue reading Sunday Food Thread Makes Pancakes 6/21

What are you eating! My older stepson quarantined so he could come by today so we hung out and made way too much food that I didn’t write about and barely took a picture. Continue reading Holy crap it’s midnight Saturday and I don’t have a topic Sunday Food Thread 6/14!

I’m at a loss this week for a topic, maybe I’m experiencing quarantine ennui as opposed to regular old ennui. Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 6/7

So last week my stepson who’s sheltering in with us found a recipe for fried chicken sandwiches in Bon Apetit. I’m not super fond of chicken but even I raved about how good these were. We deep fried them in … Continue reading I did a crazy thing. Sunday Food Thread 5/31

How are you planning on spending this pandemic holiday weekend? We’re planning on doing picnic type food but only three of us are going to be attending the picnic. Baked beans, BBQ ribs, cole slaw, chips, and a sour cherry … Continue reading Memorial Day Food Thread 5/24

What is comfort food to you? When I was a kid things like Kraft Mac & Cheese and Rice-A-Roni were go-tos. My grandmother would make me a dish of spinach egg noodles with butter and Parmesan that was closer to … Continue reading Comfort Food Thread 5/17

Sadly there are no brunches to go to and likely not really a good idea to drop in for a visit this year. How are you celebrating? If you are a mom or live with one do you have something … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread Mother’s Day 5/10

Last night was the very first time we ordered take out. From our favorite local pizza place that accepts orders online and brings the food out to your car. Of course I tipped well. Header image is some of the … Continue reading Sunday Food Thread 5/3

Friday night we decided to cook the entire meal from one book, this book in particular. We bought it over a year ago and hadn’t made anything from it yet so decided to go for broke. The header image is … Continue reading Dig In! Sunday Food Thread 4/26

We’ve been doing a ton of cooking which means we’ve also been eating a ton of leftovers (disclaimer, header image looks nothing like reality). Bought burrito sized flour tortillas so a lot of things have been turned into a burrito. … Continue reading Leftover Sunday Food Thread 4/19
