Ah... just like Mom used to make! Served over egg noodles with butter and parsley. Heaven.

I decided to edit the entry and add the mushrooms.

Actually, it's funny you mention that--I did put mushrooms in, at that amount. I don't know why I didn't mention that, except that it wasn't in the original recipe.

Big Mistakes in Food #1--Taco Bell

I was down in University City today, and come lunchtime, I walked over to the food court across from Van Pelt Library on Walnut Street.

Look, I admit what I did was stupid. I admit I should have gone for any number of other foods, from the vegetarian roach coach to even the Quiznos at said food court. But I just recently ate at a Quiznos, I didn't feel like burger or a pizza, and I didn't see any sushi around. It's no excuse, but it's an attempt at an explanation. I saw the Taco Bell, and said… Continue

The Lansdale Farmers' Market

Earlier this summer, Lansdale (where I live) started a farmers' market. Why they hadn't had one before is a little beyond me, since we're surrounded by farmland up here, both large agribusiness (i.e. Hatfield Meats, Rosenberger Dairy) and smaller, family farms. For all its faults, Pennsylvania does have a lot of good farmland.

Well, someone apparently thought as I did, and actually did something about it.

I love farmers' markets. When I was a… Continue

Spätzle

Spätzle* is a type of German boiled noodles which is much better than it sounds. It's a great side dish for German/Austrian meals, especially Wienerschnitzel, but it's also great with scrambled eggs.

Ingredients:
2 C flour
1 C milk
2 eggs
1 tbs. Nutmeg
1 tsp. Salt

Mix ingredients and boil water. When water is boiling take the spätzle maker (if you have one) and squeeze the mixture into the water. Boil for 10 minutes or until the noodles float. Remove them from the water, draining the ex… Continue

Tuna Sandwich

Sounds simple, no? The tuna fish sandwich, pb&j's nerdy bookworm sister, the staple of Lent in my Catholic high school, causer of bad breath. Why write about something so obvious, so simple? Well, naturally there are plenty of ways to dress it up beyond mayo and onion, and this is one of my favorites:

1 can tuna
1 (large) tbs mayo
1 half white onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 tbs pepper relish
5 large green olives with pimento, diced
salt & pepper to taste

Naturally, how much mayo… Continue
