    I hate thermometers, they are liars and backstabbers

    So, thermometers are now added to the list of "things Jess is not allowed to use without adult supervision," others being sharp things, matches, and electrician's scissors (which kind of fall under sharp things but get their own cattegory for reasons I won't get into right now). But, I mean, the...

    Potato and Italian Sausage Bake

    Potato and Italian Sausage Bake This is not a low calory dish. You probably can figure that out just by the title. It is a really tastey dish and is good as a side to a large green salad (or other veggie heavy dish). You will need a 9" x 9" baking dish. I used a ceramic casserole dish and that...

    This ended up being really good. The popovers were sweet but not overly so, the reduced cream was super rich and smooth, the pears were spiced but not overly so, and the three worked really well together. I used a 12 hole muffin tin and the size ended up being just right, not too little not...
