Jan and I were at the farmer’s market. I had already planned on green beans to go with my roasted pork, but Jan saw these cute little turnips. I decided to combine the two vegetables and add some of the marmalade I made yesterday.

Everybody in my family, except Eilene, loves mushrooms. She doesn’t like the texture. This leaves me with three options when I use them in cooking.

My family likes my cauliflower au gratin. I try to switch things up by using a different cheeses. This time it is baby Swiss cheese rather than emmentaler.

Jan loves pie. Miriam loves pie. Eilene loves pie. Guess what Jan is making to go with my roasted pork for dinner.

Every Christmas for more than the last decade I have made marmalade as a giveaway. I would make 40-60 twelve ounce jars at a time. It always takes several days to process and cook all of that jam.

Jan wanted a simple dinner of brats and potatoes. Eilene wanted more vegetables. I tried to please them both.

The other day, Eilene complained that it has been a long time since I have made samsa. I have filled these baked pocket breads with lamb and spinach in the past and they are very popular in my house. I thought about mixing the lamb and the spinach versions, but Jan rejected that idea.

Jan likes flax bread, but because of her oral surgery she did not eat the loaf that I bought her last week at the Farmer’s Market. The loaf is now stale. It is either throw it away and waste the bread or do what cooks have been doing with stale bread for centuries, bread pudding.

When Jan made her bread pudding, her plan was to divide the recipe into two. One small pudding for our breakfast and another for dinner over at Miriam’s tonight. Because she slept in this morning, she did not think she would wait for the pudding to bake before she had to go to the gym. I suggested pancakes.

Last year, I created an orange infused sugar, which rapidly became a staple on my counter. It is a simple recipe, just zested orange peel and sugar. It allows you to add a sweet orange zing to anything you are making—tea, breads, whatever—without have to go to all of the effort of finding an orange and zesting it on the spot. This always leaves you with the dilemma of: What do you do with the rest of the orange?
