Hazelnut Cookies Revisited.

July 9, 2008

molle/chewy First, I would like to pop myself up-side the head as I type this post. I was on my way to bed, really! Then, I stupidly flipped through the cable channels to find an airing of Jane Eyre. I adore the writings of Charlotte Brontë, and the Jane Eyre is a novel I can […]

Avocado Chicken Salad

July 8, 2008

insalata di pollo/chicken salad I liked the idea of an Avocado Chicken Salad when I saw it on emerils.com. After deciding not to use the rotisserie chicken I bought/dismantled for my Angelcot Pasta Salad, I thought the Avocado Chicken Salad would work with the well-seasoned chicky. However, the “bulk” of the salad was a bit […]

Angelcot Pasta Salad

July 7, 2008

divino/divine The other day, I wrote about angelcots I picked up at Trader Joes. While I ate a couple as is, I still had quite a few I had to use. Since they were pricey, I didn’t want to let them go to waste. What to do….what to do? They are white apricots, so I […]

Finger-Lickin’ Good Biscuits!

July 6, 2008

biscotto/biscuits Okay, anyone who has been in a Red Lobster knows its all about their cheddar biscuits. I mean, they are truly the bomb! So, when my brother casually mentioned that the recipe is an easy one, made from Bisquick, I had to find out. A little lookie lookie on the internet and I was […]

Sliding into Home Plate with Pot Roast and Blue Cheese

July 5, 2008

miniatura/miniature I have had two burgers in the last week or so, a beef and a veggie. Burgers are not a food I eat often, so the thought of eating them again for the 4th of July was not entirely appealing. So, after I threw together a very quick and not-so-accurately decorated cake, (Bet you […]

A Heavenly Fruit

July 4, 2008

For my American readers….First things first… ————- celeste/heavenly I had a couple of goals this summer: (1) to get out more and (2) separate myself from a tumultuous year. Fortunately, I have done a fairly decent job at both. One thing that has really helped me remember my old self is my patio. When mom […]

WHB – Pineapple Cucumber Gazpacho

July 3, 2008

ciotola di minestra/ bowl of soup To me, cilantro is synonymous with summer. I know, I know! It can be found year round. But, this girl, its all about cilantro in the summer. While not everyone likes cilantro, I find it so refreshing. I didn’t know, until I really began cooking a lot that “cilantro” […]

Edamame Bean Sprout Salad

July 1, 2008

I haven’t cooked very much lately. This summer has gotten me out and about, probably the most since I have lived here. While my outings and restaurant visits have helped tremendously with Well Fed on the Town subject matter, it hasn’t made for good Mele Cotte blogging. Nonetheless, it has actually been nice not having […]

Click! for Bri

June 30, 2008

alla tua salute/to your health! My mom has come and gone…much to my bummerness (yup – I made up a word). But, I loved having her here, as always. While she was here, we enjoyed wonderfully casual and delightfully delicious experience at Il Bacio Pizzeria & Trattoria. While mom yummied her cappuccino, I noticed the […]

June 29, 2008

Paste Danesi / Danish Bread It’s Daring Baker Challenge time again! This time, Kelly (Sass & Veracity), and Ben (What’s Cookin’?) had us make and work with yeasted laminated dough. Yikes! It sounds a bit scary for those of is who are yeast challenged. What better way to conquer yeast fears than with a group […]
