We have accumulated an odd assortment of knives here in our kitchen. Some were wedding gifts. Others were random purchases. We’ve even inherited a couple that are probably almost as old as I am. My grandfather was a meat cutter and every so often some of his A&P work knives would find their way home with [...]

Market Report
Posted in B'more Life, Food, Photo, Vegetables, tagged Farmer's Market on 12 June 2009 | Leave a Comment »
There are no shortages of Farmer’s Markets around Exit 51 this time of year. But I never seem to get to them. I know that I should, but I just don’t make the time. So I was excited to hear that there was a new Farmer’s Market on Saturday afternoons at Green Spring [...]

As if the wonderful, handcrafted bags that we’re offering at this year’s B’More Bags Trunk Show and Sale aren’t enough to spark your interest, there’s more. No, not a set of ginzu knives. Not a shamwow! either. Nope, way better than all that.
In conjunction with the Trunk Show, we’re raffling off a Ralph Lauren “Ricky” [...]

After weeks of forgetting to remember to get on over to the newest Dangerously Delicious Pies (DDP) location in Hampden, the opportunity to do so fell into my lap courtesy of ‘Da Mom. DDP Hampden is conveniently located between her ‘hood and mine. So when we were trying to figure out where to meet for [...]

Those of you who know me outside of this space know that my crafty skills do not extend into many areas of the traditional home arts. Yes, I can sometimes construct a fabulous meal. I can balance a checkbook. I can install a ceiling fan. And I can scrub a toilet like nobody’s business. Despite [...]
Floppy Hat Night

SFC and I decided to take in an O’s game AND get this year’s Floppy Hat. Now I must say, the team has done this promotion for years and some years the hat is better than others. This year’s? Not so good I’m afraid. It’s less floppy hat and more, I dunno, sailor cap, sous [...]

I’m not one to spread rumors.
BUT.
According to their web site, the Hampden location of Dangersouly Delicious Pies is open.
Maybe after the non-national retail chain repair service appointment on Saturday (after that fiasco, I found a local company who was more than happy to have a live person make an appointment with me that I have [...]
Delayed Gratification

Sadly, the opening of Dangerously Delicious Pies in Hampden has been pushed back until sometime in July. Good thing I bought a slice last night at the Charm City Roller Girls event to tide me over.

Not even two days after I was drooling over the prospect of a great new eatery here in Charm City, I am sad. Sad because one of my favorite special occasion restaurants is gone. Poof.
Taste appears to be closed.
I liked this place for one main reason. Miso Planked Salmon. Here’s the description from their menu – “Salmon [...]
Pie. Yummmmmmmm

How great is the world we live in? Ok, while the answer to that may be open to much debate, let me narrow the question a bit. How great is the world when a pie shop opens not too far from my house? If you could only see the happy dance I’m doing [...]
