The Best Lobster Bisque

The absolute BEST Lobster Bisque you could ever imagine to make at home. It’s easier than you think to make you thought you could only enjoy at a restaurant. I became addicted to Lobster Bisque when we lived in Southern California. The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel was right outside the gates of my neighborhood, so I used to go there…..a…

New Year’s Eve Countdown Cocktail

Ring in the New Year with 12 grapes at midnight—each bite a wish for a prosperous month ahead. New Year’s Eve Countdown Cocktail I fondly recall a New Year’s Eve years ago when, alongside some international friends, we embraced a tradition: swiftly eating twelve grapes at midnight.

Chinese-Five Spice Oatmeal Cookies

It’s the last one.  I swear. But I had to get it in.  Had too. I love this cookie, because it’s oatmeal and it uses one of my favorite spices, Chinese-five spice.  This Chinese-Five Spice Oatmeal Cookie tasted exactly like I wanted it to.  The spice flavor mixed together with the oatmeal pushes this one over the top. I don’t like raisins so this…

Noodle Kugel

I am totally on a roll. First it was the Ugly but Delicious Sweet Potatoes and now it’s the the Noodle Kugel (koo-gl).  If you say kugel with a nasal tone, it’s even more unsexy than ever.  The word kugel reminds me of kegel, another unsexy term. However, let me just go on the record and say this kugel has about the…

Bourbon-Walnut Sweet Potato Mash

Oh you are going to need to drink some cheap Bourbon to get over the ugliness photographed here.  Yes.  It looks like a pile of…well…mashy-mush. And yes, it is so very yucky looking. But hey, don’t judge a book by its cover. Ever. I now know cheap Bourbon and sweet potatoes are a perfect foodie marriage. And as ugly and bad as it looks,…
