Tuesday at the Table

I love that I routinely get phone calls that start, "Hello. I want to make a pie." Or even more common, "It's me. I have a cooking question." Of course it's not surprising in these days of texting, that just this week I got separate texts asking about the ingredient list for Nanaimo Bars, and how to make vinaigrette. Which is all quite amusing to me, considering I spend way more time sewing and blogging than I do cooking these days. But that hasn't always been the case, and my roots in food-love and the table are deep. So these calls and texts are a good and welcome reminder of what truly feeds me and my family and friends. And I am glad for them all.

  2. I get those requests, too, and I find it delightful.
    And now you must share your recipe for Nanaimo bars!

  3. I remember making a few of those calls to you over the years, including a certain S.O.S. call following a tart versus oven disaster. Good times! That vinaigrette is my favorite btw...so versatile.

  5. I used to love a day in my kitchen best - now - I love to be in my sewing room best, but sometimes......I still try new recipes :)! Nanaimo bars in our house has become a Christmas favorite, and we will color the middle green at that time. Those bars are yummy at any time of the year!

  6. My daughter in California will call once in a while with a food related question. I think the rest of the time she is eating out!

  8. Speaking of cooking....I watched the Netflix series called: Cooked by Michael Pollan and highly recommend it.

  9. My hubs does ALL the grocery shopping and cooking now, so unless there's a special request for something I already know how to make well, like my French Bread or Oatmeal Cookies, I'm not interested in cooking. I completely relate to having a life engaged in quilting... well, when I'm not going through a phase of indifference!
