In the Queen’s Language, Cookies are Biscuits I LOVE Shortbread cookies and have quite a few recipes on 3jamigos that are shortbread-centric. I live by the motto “more butter, more better”. Food52 shared the recipe for biscuits from the Ted Lasso show, of course I made them. It was a no-brainer, an automatic cookie …
The release of Dorie Greenspan’s new cookbook guilted me into getting on the J-O-B and writing this post. It seems like only a nanosecond ago I made them when actually, the recipe for these Breton-Style Palets is from her newsletter a couple of months ago. At the time, I posted a pic of these delicious …

Dishes like fuzzy melon soup, congee, and steamed pork patty, were the connection to my …
We apparently do not have the veggie garden green thumb. We planted tomatoes and squash, then fertilized, watered, and even talked to the plants but (“big sigh”) have little to show for it. The Tomato Tease Just when I resigned myself to the fact that I am not a tomato whisperer, like a big tease, …
National Waffle Day was YESTERDAY a couple of days ago and yep, I missed it. But it did guilt me into pulling out my waffle maker, trying yet another waffle recipe, and finishing my waffle post. In my defense, I did some tinkering on a Black Sesame Waffle recipe from Cooking Therapy (a very nice …
