Tarte Tatin
This is a cross between pineapple upside-down cake, apple pie, and flan. You melt butter in a heavy pan and add the sugar then the apples. You cook it over medium-high heat until the bottom begins to carmelize, then stick it in the oven to carmelize the top. Then you put the crust on […]

I call bullshit on this Nazi nonsense about Soros. I despise him and his agenda as much as anyone (and I equally despise any politician who would take a dime from him), but this has all the integrity of “Ratzinger was a Nazi!” which is exactly zero integrity.

this from Jules Crittenden:
The war with extremist Islam has just entered a new phase. Times of London: Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan and Iraq have issued orders for British cells to conduct a “low-tech†campaign of abductions and beheadings.

I fall between xlrq and Allahpundit on this one. They’re all idiots, Boston, the Boston PD and FD, Ted Turner, and the “artists” who came up with this idiotic idea. However, anybody who looks like this needs to be thrown in prison just on basic principle:

I saw the review for Perfume on January 12th. I then went to the local community website to see if it was here yet.
Nope.
I thought maybe it was on limited release, so I went to IMDB and found that it had been released a week previously, on January 5th. I went back to the local […]

From Never Yet Melted:
Can the car companies please stop invoking “style” in ads? Shapeless boxes that look like every other shapeless box on the road isn’t style, numbnuts — and speaking of shapeless boxes and style, stop calling that ugly thing an Impala. This is an Impala:

I’ve mentioned that I collect those locally-published community cookbooks (you know, often published by churches or social organizations), and one of the many I have is Old Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes, published in 1936 by Culinary Arts Press in Reading, Pennsylvania. Being a linguist by training, I find this cookbook particularly fun, as it’s full of […]

From today’s paper:
The Kemptons have vowed that Schnitzels Tavern, the beloved German-cuisine restaurant in the Bush House, will be brought back to town. The restaurant, first located next to the Garman Opera House Theater, was moved to the Bush House after the Kemptons purchased the building in 1995, drawn by the outdoor seating it offered […]
