It has been over a month since I last posted. As summer winds down and the vacations and weddings begin to slow, I hope to carve out more kitchen time. In fact, I am eagerly awaiting open-window baking weather, when my oven doesn’t require a complementary air conditioner on full blast. Despite this weekend’s hot weather, I …
I can still taste the buttered bread from the grilled cheese sandwiches we used to have once a week at sleep-away camp. Grilled cheese day was also tomato soup day (there is definitely a law somewhere that states these two must be served together). I was never a big fan of tomato soup, but somehow the …
