…. because I do it just about every Sunday. Is it wrong to curse at people on the road while driving to church? Cause… maybe that’s happened once or twice. On a scale of one to total jerk… how jerky is it for me to blatantly roll my eyes at the lady on the spin bike next to me who is flirting with the obviously married man on the other side of me? Oh! Also… exactly how much of this batter can I spoon in my mouth after spin class and before rushing off to J-walk into church? I happen to love making cupcakes exactly 47 times better than I like to actually eat cupcakes (cupcake batter excluded).

These cakes themselves are a brown sugar and buttermilk cake. Wait… do you know what Dulde de leche is?

The idea of ‘how clean is your house’ has been making the rounds on the sites, and Deanne commented that her house is her playpen – clean but not neat. Beth’s is her castle – tidy, but not overly clean. My house is my lab – always in a state of disarray.

It’s not that I don’t clean, it’s that a clean room invites some sort of project to take place. Case in point.

(Don’t fret – I cut off the yucky parts.) So, lids on and in the freezer. I love you, tiny pie in a jar! UPDATE: For Deanne (I wish I had a giant quarter, because that would be so funny!)

But this is important. I whipped up this casserole yesterday and loved it. I had a chicken in the fridge, a couple of boxes of mushrooms, and the sheer will to eat a big ol’ plate of comfort food. It resembles a tetrazzini more than anything, but is a little more on the simple/pared down side.

No onions, no celery, no carrots. I repeat: Make this today. Sorry to be bossy. Boil a whole cut up chicken for 30 to 40 minutes, until the meat is cooked all the way. Remove the chicken to a plate or bowl after it’s done… Scoop out a couple of cups of broth from the pot and set it aside… Then keep the rest of the broth simmering in the pot.

One Perfect Bite. From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Long before the Reformation split Christian Europe into opposing camps, the Lenten season was marked by a ritual called the Black Fast.

The 40 day fast was a diet that restricted believers to one small meal a day. That meal could contain no meat, fats or dairy products and during Holy Week, the week before Easter Sunday, the meal was simply bread and water that was seasoned with salt and herbs. Believers rarely strayed from the plan. I suspect shortages contributed to their compliance, and that the fast helped ration a limited food supply during the lean months prior to harvest. One of the recipes I found last night is this Paella-style fried rice.

So when she is home we usually have dinner together at least once or twice. Since it was a work day for me, I decided to make my favourite pasta sauce - Sausage and Rosemary - something I could put on in the morning and then just reheat.

For a quick appetizer we had little cocktail toasts topped with warm goat cheese, a toasted walnut half and a drizzle of olive oil. A nice little bite that goes well with a glass of red wine. And with the pasta we had our favourite Gorgonzola Garlic Bread. This bread is my recreation of their Gorgonzola bread. I mentioned this bread once before in a one of my earlier blog entries. Long loaf of Italian Bread or long crusty rolls. 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese 1 to 2 cloves garlic Parsley Salt Pepper Fresh grated Parmesan cheese Optional: Basil or Oregano .
