    Throwback of the House: Holiday Binging with Weight Watchers' Maine Pumpkin Pudding

    Todd Ehlers, Wikimedia Commons​Who did Weight Watchers in the 1980s? I did, in 1985, when I was 13 years old. Yes, that's insane.

    Throwback of the House: Triple Play Warmer Is Not So Hot

    Todd Ehlers, Wikimedia CommonsSo sue me. I'm not a baseball fan, so the irony of making a dish called Triple Play Warmer after the Cardinals lost their second game to the Dodgers was lost on me.

    Throwback of the House: Childhood Memories, Destroyed by Pyrex

    Todd Ehlers, Wikimedia Commons​Even the most hardcore food snob has that one processed food that she just can't shake. For me, it's pimento cheese. These days, I usually make my own with Scott Peacock's gussied-up recipe, but a few times a year I need the processed-orange-crap-in-a-deli-tub chees ... More >>

    Todd Ehlers, Wikimedia CommonsThis weekend I'm jetting to slightly-less-hot Philadelphia, and I planned to make a vegetable scrapple from a southwestern cookbook.I couldn't do it, though, because scrapple, like haggis, should never be vegetarian.

    Todd Ehlers, Wikimedia CommonsAh, summer food. It's the only thing I like about summer. I'd gladly live in a climate that never rose above 60 degrees if it weren't for giving up local produce, cookouts and a good old-fashioned summer cheese bake.What?
