Carefree 101 Cooking Terms... Welcome to 2007! It’s time for resolutions and I’m ashamed to admit I’ve already broken one of my top four promises to myself. (Someday, in a far off land where time is on my side, I really will get the CG to the editor early.) The other three resolutions are the same as they’ve always been: Be slow to judge, be quick to forgive, and practice, practice, practice being patient. Dang, that last one is always SUCH a pain!
There’s been a lot of eating and cooking and kitchen activity in the past couple of weeks, so I thought you might be a bit tired thinking about what to make and eat and then clean up after yet again. So instead of recipes, let’s look at some cooking basics, and give the leftovers a chance to clear out of the fridge for a couple weeks. To read the rest of this column click here
Homestead Hearth.. How does a dream begin? According to local baker Rebekah Holbrook, it all started at the breakfast table on April 14, 1995. “I remember it perfectly,” she said. “My dad said, “I’ve been thinking….” and the dream of having a brick oven bakery business was born.
The dad in question, Joel Holbrook, remembers it this way.

Carefree Wacky Ingredients...Welcome to the wacky ingredient file – also known as “Cool Stuff I Stole from Other People.” It’s a sad fact that sooner or later, I will pester you for a recipe, no matter who you are or how we met. Are you changing a tire at twenty below? Let’s talk soup! Chasing your overtired kids around the store at 5:30 on a Saturday? Tell me your favorite cake recipe right now! Once, after tasting a potato dish that was so good it knocked me sideways, I hauled out a pen and notebook then and there to scribble down the recipe.
Did I mention this was during a formal wedding reception, complete with tiny baby orchids, tuxes and a full orchestra? Clearly, I have recipe issues and the only way to deal with it is to of course, find even more to share with you. Thank goodness I still have friends in Delta I can steal ideas from on a regular basis. To read the rest of this column click here
