A friend sent this to me. Perfect for today… and even more perfect for tomorrow’s historic inauguration. Enjoy!
Candied Buddha’s Hand Peel
After I made my Buddha’s Hand Citron Liqueur, I decided to candy the “fingers”.
To make candied citrus peels you need:
Citrus fruit (lemon, orange, Buddha’s hand, etc.) peeled, pith removed and peel sliced
1 1/2 cups of super fine sugar
1 cup water
First I sliced each Buddha’s...
One of THE best homemade chicken stocks
Drastic weather calls for drastic cooking. With the needle on the thermometer hovering between 0 and 25 degrees this past week, what other options are there then to empty your vegetable bin (of almost too old veggies) and make some stock? In my case, I also had half a rotisserie chicken breast carcass…...
Sabra Hummus vs. Simply Enjoy — NO Comparrison
By Tammy in Everything on Jan 17th, 2009 | 14 Comments
Sabra Hummus is the best commercial hummus I have found to date. I have pretty much tried all the traditional store brands you can get in this area, as well as some in NJ, OH and FL. Nothing compares to Sabra and some brands are downright inedible (especially those in OH and FL — people must not...
Buddha’s Hand Citron Liqueur – Step 1
So… as mentioned in my post about my first (and definitely NOT last) visit to Russo’s Market, I bought a Buddha’s Hand. This stranger-than-fiction fruit is supposedly the first citrus fruit introduced to the modern world (Europe) — having come originally from Northeastern India.
It...
I love my new camera…

It’s a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70. I blogged about it when I first got it, but haven’t mentioned it in while. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
And see, I told you that I LOVE tomato & mozzarella sandwiches… this was my lunch again today.
Taramosalata — FOOD OF THE GODS!
Unless you are on a diet that is…
And man, I am addicted to this stuff! I was introduced to it several years ago by close friends. I loved it then, but could never remember what the heck it was called (not exactly an intuitive name)! Finally, I was shopping at Whole Foods Market one day and saw...
Gigi’s Mozzarella House in Everett, MA
By Tammy in Everything on Jan 15th, 2009 | 3 Comments
When I was at Russo’s the other day, I picked up some ricotta cheese and some fresh mozzarella. Little did I know, that I was buying not only ridiculously fresh cheese, but also cheese that had been made right here in the Greater Boston area. Score! Buying and eating this cheese helps me move further...
Some of the goodies I got at Russo’s
By Tammy in Ingredients on Jan 14th, 2009 | No Comments
Just a teaser…
This is the Buddha’s Hand, Red Gooseberries and the dried, candied kiwi. The Gooseberries are quickly disappearing as the 4-yo and I down them. Even though most experts recommend baking with Gooseberries rather than eating them raw (because they tend to be quite tart), these...
BFW’s Favorite Caprese Salad
I love Caprese Salad…. I mean I REALLY LOVE it. I make it all the time. I could probably eat it every day.
Even though tomatoes aren’t in season right now, the “Gourmet Medley Tomatoes” from Trader Joe’s aren’t so bad for the winter. I just dice up the cherry varieties,...
