Pear Raspberry Galette

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Tina

This is one of the desserts I served on Thanksgiving. I’m pretty sure that galette translated means “I seem to have misplaced my pie plate”. No matter, all you need is some pie dough, fruit, sugar, a little flour and … Continue reading →

Posted on November 26, 2012 by Joe_Williams

This was a gal I saw on the Market-Frankford El that got off of the train somewhere in University City. I scribbled down a quick sketch, and I did this on the way home from memory on the El.

Popovers

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Tina

I’ll be flying solo in the kitchen this Thanksgiving and instead of my usual yeast rolls I thought I’d simplify things and make popovers instead. The batter is mixed in a blender and poured into a muffin pan. What could … Continue reading →
