Yesterday I made fig jam. Jan decided that we should make tonight’s dinner a cheese and fig jam tasting. I could run out and just buy some crusty bread, but fresh crackers see the better choice.

Karl’s Rosemary Parmesan Crackers
The kids are not coming over for dinner tonight, so Jan wants cheese and crackers for dinner (AKA deli dinner). She wanted some plain crackers, but I have been testing the limits of fresh crackers. Today’s savory cracker is rosemary Parmesan topped with salt and pepper.

Karl’s Sweet Potato Biscuits with PB&J
Last week Jan had a work lunch that had Sweet Potato Biscuits with PB&J. She brought some leftovers home for us to try. She suggested that this would be a good thing to serve the teenagers on their Thursday movie night.

Karl’s Za’atar Crackers with Harissa Humus
Earlier this week I made some raspberry crackers. This led Jan to thinking about: What other unexpected things you could you add to crackers? Her answer was the spice blend za’atar. She asked me to make these crackers for Sunday’s dinner.

Karl’s British Scones with Currents II
Last week Jan had asked for scones, but I did not hear the request. (Hey! I have medical proof that I am slightly deaf in the range of women’s voices. It’s not my fault!) I woke up today planning to rectify the error. Tomorrow may be Mother’s Day, but today we have British scones.
In a recent Cooks Illustrated, they had a recipe for British scones. I had tied to make these close to the CI recipe a few weeks ago. This week I thought I would be a bit more creative.

Karl’s Raspberry Cream Crackers
When I started making fresh crackers, Jan named them, “Karl Don’t Make These Crackers.” This was not because they were so bad, but because they were so good. These crackers were just too good to leave just laying around tempting you to eat them. I am constantly tinkering with the recipe and I have gone a long way from the original.

Karl’s Sesame Crackers II
I am making a soup for Sunday’s dinner and I decided that fresh crackers would go nicely with it. When I started making fresh crackers, Jan named them, “Karl Don’t Make These Crackers.” This was not because they were so bad, but because they were so good. These crackers were just too good to leave laying around tempting you to eat them.

Karl’s Shire Seed Cake
Adapted from Recipe Wise
Eilene is having friends over to watch the last Lord of the Rings movie. It is time to think up some new Shire themed recipes. I am thinking seed cake and honey chicken wings.

Karl’s British Scones with Currents
In a recent Cooks Illustrated, they had a recipe for British scones. I woke up thinking about making scones this morning, but Jan had cleaned up and I couldn’t find that issue. Fortunately I remembered enough of the discussion about the differences between American and British scones to wing it.
