Spicy Salt-Roasted Peanuts
2008-02-11 17:17:40
Peanuts are a part of daily life, at least around this house. They're consumed as butter, as a recipe addition, as a snack, and pretty much any other way I can come up with to use them. I started working up a recipe for Valentine's day a little earlier in the week and I knew from minute one that I… ...

Protect yourself from Identity Theft
2008-02-11 15:25:08
I know this isn't food related, but bear with me for a moment. As someone who is currently dealing with identity theft, I think it is important to take a moment and consider your options in this arena, and even more important to do something about it. Lifelock could be the answer. While I grant that in my case the person… ...

National Cream Cheese Brownie Day

Welcome to your Morning Cuppa for February 10th, 2008 Today is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day In my opinion a brownie should be brown, and have chocolate. If you don't agree with me, just go visit the recipes at the bottom. I'd call these "creme cheese cookies", but that's just me! Today in Food History: 1835 Victor Hensen was born. An… ...

Roasted Stuffed Acorn Squash, a Sage Sensation
2008-02-09 21:03:48
A while back my wife and I decided that if we were going to justify storing our cookbook collection, we needed to make at least one recipe from each book every week.It sounded simple enough, and I happily joined her in browsing through Taste of Home magazine's Prize winning Recipes (spring 2006), the first of the books on our target… ...

Welcome to your Morning Cuppa for February 8th, 2008 Today is National Molasses Bar Day I have nothing to say to this one.

Sorry, this is not on the topic of food or recipes, but it is something I've wanted to mention for a while. That something is IZEARanks.com. Many of you probably have no idea what the current Google toolbar rank of this site is, and you probably couldn't care less. The truth is, the Google toolbar PR value for Cooking by the Seat of my Pants! is a big-flat-Zero. ...

When I heard that my friend Susan, The Well Seasoned Cook was hosting a roundup of legume recipes because she'd seen that it was National Bean Day that morning on "Your Morning Cuppa", I was not only honored and flattered, but I knew I just had to be a part of it. I thought about making several different things, from a… ...

National Fettuccine Alfredo Day
2008-02-07 07:00:07
Welcome to your Morning Cuppa for February 7th, 2008 Today is National Fettuccine Alfredo Day I think like most Americans, my first experience with pasta that wasn't smothered in Marinara sauce (and wasn't macaroni and cheese) had to have been Fettuccine Alfredo. I would wager a guess that I had it the first time at Mary's Pizza Shack in Sonoma,… ...

Welcome to your Morning Cuppa for February 6th, 2008 Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day I remember the first time I heard the words "Frozen Yogurt".

The finest italian olive oils and vinegars
2008-02-05 20:42:37
I've mentioned before that I was raised in what was at the time a primarily Italian-American community. Even though my heritage is Irish and native American, I still grew up around a community that had a love of fresh, authentic Italian Cooking and ingredients. In my youth, most of these were still imported directly from Italy, from the Parmesan cheese in… ...

Welcome to your Morning Cuppa for February 5th, 2008 Today is National Chocolate Fondue Day I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've never had a chocolate fondue. I've heard that they are wonderful, but my experience limits my appreciation, I suppose. Perhaps this year I'll get around to it. Today in Food History: 1840 Sir Hiram Maxim was born.

Sorry about the missing image on the main page, guys. I had the entry set to automagically post at 0200, and had mistakenly added a space to the image name. That’s been corrected. On another note, I had comments stating that some would rather use giblets than livers in my Dirty Rice recipe. DON’T DO IT! [...] ...
