PW comes to Beaverton!

I'm a huge fan of the Pioneer Woman blog. Photography, Cooking, Homeschooling and wonderful accounts of meeting Mr. Right - how could a blog go wrong with content like that?

I even bought PW's cookbook as a Christmas gift for my mother.  (Who left it here, supposedly by accident, so I've been enjoying it all by myself!)

If you haven't seen this cookbook, you must check it out.  Scrumptious recipes and even better photographs, all bound together by PW's wit, which makes a great sauce.


Today PW announced her Spring Book tour and she's coming here!
Not just Portland, here - Beaverton, here!

Powell's Bookstore at Cedar Hills Crossing

I'm not a huge Powell's fan (they're so snooty) but I'll brave the snubs of their staff for the chance to get my book autographed by Ree Drummond herself.  This will actually be a moment of some import.  The last time I stood in line to get an autograph it for Henry Kissinger.

Anyone want to come? We can swap biscuit recipes while we stand in line.

A Family Home Evening Idea for Passover

Or should that be "A Passover Idea for Family Home Evening"?
Probably the later, but I was afraid that people would be scared off by the early use of the word Passover, and I'd NEVER get your attention.

Either way, here's a wonderful video on how to make a delicious and easy unleavened bread. It's a great way to have fun with the kids and teach them about a holiday that held special meaning for the Saviour and thus for all of us.

Mark Bittman's Olive Oil Matzo (Sardinian style)

I have to admit to a love for matzo. So good in so many ways - the best of which is Matzo Ball soup. But I also like to eat it plain, with a thin, thin coat of good mayonnaise and a bit of kosher salt. (Must be kosher salt - not for the kosher, but for the granularity). So crunchy, so satisfying.

Manga!
Oops. I should say Nosh!

And Good Passover to you. :)
