Pierogies for Days
Last night was pierogi night at the Tagles (ahh still getting used to the sister’s new name). Re-saturating dried mushrooms for the mushroom borscht. Too much pre-cooking wine for this one… Follow me on Twitter @Pilots_Daughter
‘Tis The Season
As of 6:03 pm ET today, winter is here. With winter solstice comes the longest day of the year so I thought it was fitting to share a winter dessert: red wine poached pear tart. This recipe comes from the infamous David Lebovitz. The recipe was easy to follow and the flavors were amazing. Only…
Fish, Salt, And Stilts
On our second day in Hong Kong Phil took us outside of the city to Lantau Island. We took a cab to get there and got very lucky with getting one. One way to get to to the island is to take the Ngong Ping 360 which is a gondola. We were a little slow…

I have been posting a lot lately about travel and events I have been to but not so much about baking. While looking through summer photos I realized I forgot to post my peach cinnamon rolls I made back in July. Yes peaches are basically out of season but these were so tasty I have…

Sneak Preview – Chef
Last night I was invited to a advance screening of the movie “Chef” with Denver Eater. I went in with biased thoughts on the film because I figured I would love any movie that had a plot based around food; I was correct the movie was fabulous. It was witty, creative, fun and heartwarming. Between comments like “amuse-douche” and…
