Butterscotch Pecan Ice Cream

pecanbutterscotch1



Good people, I have returned to the land of the living. As I stated in today's newsletter (my first since August (subscribe here)), half of my cookbook was due this past Friday and I turned it in with a great sense of accomplishment and relief. Now I have some time to breath while my editor reads it over. And that means more blogging, more newsletter writing, and more time to spend with a certain someone I've been ignoring too much lately: (said in a Hallmarky, dramatic voice) me.

Deadline Week

Hey folks, I owe half my cookbook to the publisher on Friday so, as you can imagine, I probably shouldn't be doing too much blogging this week. Wish me luck as I finish those final pages and I'll see you back here on Monday!

Cooking Live with Special Guest Cole Escola (10/7/10, 5:30 PM)



So the last time I tried to cook for you live from my kitchen (remember?), I had trouble balancing the art of entertainment with the art of doing dishes. This time around, we have a very special guest to help us out in that regard: TV's own COLE ESCOLA! Best known for his work on Logo's "Jeffery & Cole Casserole," Cole has also appeared on "Law & Order" (his episode, in which he plays an autistic 16 year old, airs again tonight (10/7) at 6 on TNT.) Cole will help me field questions in the chat room while I go about making dinner. Now for the menu: whatever shall I make? See you here with Cole, Thursday, at 5:30!



UPDATE: Thanks everyone who came! We had 67 people watching. The video is archived and playable above.

How To Make A Caesar Salad

caesar1.jpg



I make Caesar salads all the time and whenever I do, I forget to take pictures. Maybe it's because it's such a loosey-goosey process--how much garlic, how much anchovy, how much Parmesan & lemon is all a matter of taste--but, still, my Caesar salad is very good (as evidenced by this post). So, instead of waiting for the next opportunity to take pictures, I thought I would illustrate the process for you with a program I just downloaded called Paintbrush. Prepare to be amazed by my illustrious illustrating skills!

The Tables Have Turned

In this month's spooky banner (clear your cache to see it), I'm caught in a web of my own gluttony and about to pay the price. Thanks to Lindy Groening for her excellent work, as usual, and to Justin Dickinson for coding it in. Do you think if I spell "Charlotte" the spiders will take pity on me?
