Labor day is now behind us (or behind me, anyway, and it’s my blog), and I’m returning to considerations of a more autumnal nature. Yesterday at the big festive b-b-q down in…
Every year for eight or nine or so years now, my generation of my extended family have been gathering in the holiday season to perform the Schneckening. “Schnecken” is german for “snail,”…
RECIPE CORNER: Getting Nutty and Flipping Out
I’ve been asked for the recipe for schnecken. I’ll tell ya, I’ve been vascilating on this point. I considered posting…
How can this whole weekend be fit into a little dinky blogpost? It just can’t, but that has never stopped me from trying before, so here goes:
I did not get my passport last friday,…
It’s raining, and in honor of the random descent of these droplets of purity, here are some random droplets for y’all:
I enjoy listening to the news with Kelly because she is not…
On a rainy day when I’ve felt a bit under the weather myself, it’s a good time to talk about cookies. This past weekend I was rolling out esthertashen while Kel was talking to her…
That’s right, you thought you didn’t want to be me after you heard what kind of a week I was having. But really, the ancillary benefits of being me more than make up for the transient…
Here’s a new bit of srivel (scrawl + drivel) that I dedicate with all due respect and then some to two women of valor. pea, my first true imaginary friend and among my best friends of…
Oh man, how could it be Friday again and I have not even expounded on the last weekend, which was so joyful and delightful? Here’s a brief recap before it fades into the mists:

Feeling chipper? Spry? Ready for that early-morning jog around the industrial park? yeah me neither. Cap’n Pakanappie woke up early last night and would only stop crying…
Well I’ve wanted to get something else up here but I’ve been too busy lately to develop much content so I’m putting aside a few half-finished essays and making good with the empanadas. …
I’ve had occasion lately to look back at some of what I’ve posted here over the years, and rediscovered a recipe or two that I’d forgotten I’d invented. It’s fun…
Here’s a tasty recipe that happened to burble to the surface of this very blog, when I started paging through my notebook looking for stuff I haven’t posted yet. This one was buried…
As we stumble toward the end of Passover (tuesday night, for you hard-core holdouts) it seems like time to get more descriptive about what we’ve been experiencing at the seder table. Let’s…
Let’s continue with a theme and get back to run-of-the-mill posts once I put down this blasted centrifuge and write some. Meantime I’ve had a nice “rolling” birthday and…
I made it a point neither to read nor write while I was away, with the exception of recipes. I just let things unfold and cherished them till they blew away in an upriver breeze.

The sandwich, like the salad, does not get the credit it deserves. Everybody thinks they can make a decent sandwich, just like everybody thinks they’re inherently smarter and more interesting…
All right you sneaky wieners, I know you’re skulking around the dusty cinderblock remnants of the ruined edifice of the Chucklehut Recipe Corner, wondering when I’m going to make your life…
So I find myself with a few minutes to spare because of a computer problem, so in honor of the candied pumpkin I made over the weekend, here is a list of candies that only became popular once their…
