My daughter had her semi-annual bout of stomach bug a few weeks back. Typically I have a few batches of curative bone broth on hand, which is, I hope you agree, a much nicer alternative to [doctor recommended — shudder!] sports drinks, juices and pharmaceutical electrolyte junkstuffs. But my kid for some reason lost all […]
LAST SEEN IN MY KITCHEN ...
Carrot Cake On A Dare
I poke around Russian culinary forums from time to time, for good ‘ole time’s sake. Once in a while I stumble upon a good recipe or two and feel compelled to translate them for my English readers. Recently, I had a discussion with a few ladies who happen to be big fans of Belonika. If […]
Hello, Challah!

But some of them just seem to be waiting to be used as containers, […]
Cheetahs and Tigers and Cupcakes, Oh My!
