in the kitchen with: molly hatch?s maple pecan cake

I was reacquainted with my love for pecans when I tested this recipe for a Maple Pecan Whiskey Cake by ceramicist Molly Hatch. Normally you’d make fruit cake for the holidays, but because this cake freezes well and makes four loaves at once, it is also perfect to keep around or take a loaf the [...]

Brown Butter Spice Cake

This cardamom-kissed, brown sugar crusted, squash-battered spice cake nearly didn't happen. My oven has been on a slow, temperamental decline for months. It has always been a bit slow out of the gate, taking it's time to heat up, but generally I didn't think much of it. Fussy oven, end of story. Recently though, it has been taking the better part of an hour to get to 350F. Then, there were the times it would turn off on a whim. Poof. As if it was simply done baking for the day. And the moments when it felt compelled to belch gas. Just the sort of thing to send me into a panic. At any rate, I found myself standing in front it, promising to call the repair shop, if it would just finish up this last unassuming loaf cake without issue. And it did. And the cake was near perfect. As promised, a call was made, a part replaced, and now she hits 350F in under ten minutes.

Brown Butter Spice Cake Recipe

The inspiration for this cake was a bowl of leftover roasted winter squash. I was going to make pan-fried dumpling with this squash, but at the last minute opted to make a loaf cake instead. I'd puree the squash until it was smooth and creamy, then fold it into the batter for flavor, depth, and a moist crumb. And while I call it a cake, it's not hyper sweet. It's more like a cake-like bread - in the way banana bread, or zucchini bread is cake-like.

Brown Butter Spice Cake Recipe

The spices here are assertive, I didn't skimp. In turn, it might be the most wonderfully fragrant cake I've baked to date. I chose a garam masala spice blend, paired with a good amount of cinnamon, to deliver a bit of a twist as far as warming spices go. The garam masala brings the cardamom, but also a nice hit of black pepper. If you give the cake a go, let me know if you make any tweaks to the spice list. There's a lot of latitude to experiment here.

We're thinking about skipping town with the cameras at some point in the next week to visit Yosemite. I'm embarrassed to say, although I've lived within a four hour drive nearly my entire life, I've yet to visit in the winter. Thoughts, tips, things I shouldn't miss en route? -h

Wellness recalls some canned cat foods

After the massive recalls of a few years back, many pet lovers' hearts stop when they hear word that yet another pet food is being recalled by its maker. It's doubly distressing when it's a heretofore well-regarded brand. Yet that's just what happened on Monday as WellPet, maker of Wellness brand pet foods, voluntarily recalled certain lots of its canned cat food because they lacked sufficient levels of thiamine (also known as Vitamin B1). How serious of a problem is this, and what should you do about it?

Ski Trails Not So Hot

Recent flurries may help a bit, but it’s fair to say the tails within Devil’s Lake State Park are not in the best of conditions after the recent warming spell.  Open areas especially have melted down to a solid icy base. A small amount of snow is predicted to fall over the next few days [...]

diy project: salvaged stove top trivets

When I came across these old stove-burner tops at the salvage yard, I was immediately struck by their variations in pattern and how interesting they looked out of context. I never knew burner tops came in so many different shapes! After some heavy scrubbing, I found I liked them even more. They are nice, mid-sized [...]

Open Question: Are there any Summer Camps in Colorado that AREN'T backpacking?

I am 13 and A girl and i want to go to summer camp in colorado. I don't want to go backpacking or anything ridiculous like that, but I do want to be in the mountains. The session should be no more than 2 weeks long and no shorter than 7 days, and cost no more than 2,000$. Are there any camps in colorado that come close to fitting these needs??!!
