This is one of the books I found in that box a friend of mine donated to me.
I am SO glad I didn’t let either the title or the cheesy cover put me off this book! “The Last of the Red-Hot Vampires” isn’t anything like the title suggests. Well, it is a (very steamy) romance, and it does have vampires and other mythical creatures, but it’s anything but cheesy. Instead, it turned out to be a real romp, the romance equivalent of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy”, for instance.

This version might make enough filling for two pies, actually, depending on the size pie pan you use. Some people have made it with a tart pan rather than the traditional pie pan, which practically guarantees it won’t boil over. When it first comes out of the oven it may look a little runny in the middle and odd around the edges. Don’t worry, it should set beautifully and be tasty, tasty, TASTY! Serve with milk, ice cream, or as is.
Last year, in a fit of homesickness, I decided it was about time we have a Christmas meal that was more French Canadian. My eldest children are Québecoises, after all, and hadn’t enjoyed a Québec style Christmas in ten years. So I looked up recipes for things like Tourtière and creton (something similar to the southern “Scrapple“). This recipe was perfect: it tasted exactly the way it should. Tourtière is served any time one feels like putting in the rather minimal effort, though it is customary to find them around the holidays. The filling can be made of almost any meat, really, but pork and potatoes being cheap, it’s probably the most common choice.
Several years ago, we were fortunate enough to have access to the best baby back ribs ever, thanks to a home grocery delivery service called “Webvan”. Unfortunately, the people who launched the company went money hungry and blew through their profits long before they were ready to establish the company firmly. As a result, Webvan went belly-up. Nonetheless, we had some great culinary experiences thanks to the quality of the meat they provided, and came up with a pretty delicious recipe for ribs. I miss those ribs… and I hope this works for you.
Well guess what? Today, I saw our very first green bell pepper! Continue reading Garden Notes: First Fruit and Fertilizer →
I first made sourdough starter back in 2000. I remember because that was the year right after we got married, and we nursed that baby for so long, my husband used to joke: “If ever it dies, we’ll know we’re in trouble too!” It became a running joke between us. This is the recipe I used to start my sourdough. I’ve made several breads with it over the years, and it always comes out delicious. I hope you’ll enjoy making some too. |
