There is a time and a place for breakfast quinoa. Did you know that you can make a gin and tonic cake? Because I didn’t. Until last night, when I ate some, and it tasted EXACTLY like a gin and tonic. And it had gin in it. And it’s sort of all I can think about right now (probably because of the gin) but instead I’m eating quinoa. Could my life be any more boring? I wish I was…

If you’ve ever tried using store-bought almond milk in your morning coffee, you probably know that it doesn’t make a very good “creamer” substitute. It can curdle, it can separate, it can taste like preservatives… really, nothing that you want in a coffee creamer. Homemade almond milk, on the other hand, tastes amazing in coffee. Especially with my latest discovery–>…

Once we drove from Los Angeles to the tip of Baja California, took a ferry to mainland Mexico, and drove back visiting many of the main cities of the country. Another summer vacation, we drove all around the Southwest exploring the reservations and driving across…

This week we finally got our first “snow day” . For two days, my kids (and all the kids in the neighborhood) have been outside 8-10 hours a day sledding, building snow men and making snow angels. One of the children suggested making snow cream and once the idea had been spoken out-loud, all of the kids begged to be able to make this treat. The original recipe that we made when…

Flummery is a word you rarely hear today. It can be used in two contexts, to describe meaningless nonsense or an old style light mousse like dessert. My Mum often made flummery when I was a child, using a packet of sweetened jelly crystals dissolved in half the prescribed water, almost set, then beaten into a can of chilled evaporated milk. Many a time us kids were roped in…
