My husband works a lot. We don’t see him in the summer and although we are two months into fall we haven’t really seen him as much as we had hoped or thought we would. He often leaves for work by seven in the morning and sometimes returns well after or just before midnight. Although […]

Sausage & Cheddar Muffins from Food & Wine
For Christmas we received Market Math, the cookbook from Food & Wine which is based on the column of the same name from their magazine. In the column, they take one ingredient and use it four ways. It is genius and allows you to buy that bigger package of something and know it won’t go […]

For the English it is very difficult to find a good British sausage in America…so at our house we make our own. A quick trip to Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe in nearby West Springfield, Massachusetts provided us with pork and casings. Pork shoulder or Butt as it is known here has about the […]
