Hi All! We've had a brief hiatus while we wrestled with the decision regarding which CMS to be using to host this site. We've finally decided (yea!) and now we need to make it so! We'll be back in a...
The First BLT of the Season One of our favorite traditions revolves around the very first home grown tomato of the summer. We typically see this special tomato somewhere around the Fourth of July. This year, we saw it...
This evening I participated in a Madison area "foodie" panel. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed meeting people of like minds, and I hope to continue to connect with all of them in the future, in one...
Hi all, I'm out of town at the moment, but thought I'd drop a quick note about a local Madison event coming up, featuring a Foodie Panel. It should be fun! Madison Interactive, a group for people who work on...
The day started out dismally, with a cold breeze and even colder termperatures. I had previously had plans of making a light, grilled meal comprised of spring vegetables and grilled chicken, but as the day moved forward I couldn't shake...
Gorgonzola has rapidly become one of our favorite cheeses. We cook with it, we eat it after dinner as a cheese course with wine or port, and we always have it on hand. Much of the reason for this is...
Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Ramp, Scallion and Mustard Sauce It's early spring in Wisconsin, and if you get a CSA produce box, chances are that you are also getting ramps. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate ramps into...
A couple of weeks ago I mused about making a Ramp Pesto. I posted this in the blog mainly so that I wouldn't forget about it. Since that posting I keep getting lots and lots of hits from people searching...
After years and years, we've upgraded our grill (but more about that in another entry...). Our new charcoal grill has a rotisserie attachment, and I've been eager to experiment with it. We have never cooked this way before, so it's...
This entry doesn't have much to do with food or cooking, I'm afraid. I've become somewhat frustrated with the platform that this blog runs on. I'm using MovableType, which I have always loved, but which is becoming increasingly frustrating for...
A quick perusal of my blog stats tell me that many of you are hitting this blog right about now searching for tickets to the Great Taste of the Midwest. Pardon me for a moment while I rant. I will...
I have been spending a lot of time working on my Cooking Out of the Box blog. It is a blog dedicated to the challenge involved in the participation in a Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA). Why is that taking...
Hmmmmmm. Ramp Pesto. I haven't thought of that before. But, it is ramp season, and I am always interested in "pesto" style endeavors.... stay tuned!...
The Traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage... (sort of...) I suspect that this is a picture that has shown up on almost every food blog in existance this weekend. Yes, it was St. Patrick's Day, which means the traditional corned...
After weeks of frustration and beating my head against a brick wall, I've finally figured out that it was my blog roll that was breaking my Movable Type template. So, it has been removed until I can figure out how...
I've been looking at them for years... I've been saying, "You know, I really need to get myself a salt pig". I have just never done it. I guess Greg got tired of hearing it, because he got me my...
Our Cuisine Capers gathering on New Years Eve served a number of purposes... We had a newly remodeled kitchen to break in - mission accomplished We had to watch the Packers maul the Bears on national TV - mission...
Trader Joe's has opened in Madison. But more about that harrowing tale in a moment... The balmy Sunday weather (35 degrees and sunny!) encouraged me to go out early this morning and roam around a bit. I started out at...
I give up. I've spent a lot of time pondering this, and I've been unable to come up with an answer. Why do people search for "Rachel Ray's garbage bowl"? An enormous number of people find Cuisine Capers each and...
I was born and raised on the north side of Madison. This means that I've always aligned myself with the "East Side" faction of the Great Madison Eastside/Westside fray. The whole debate goes something like this: The East side is...
