Glen, a long time Riggin Relic and friend, is often the first to greet me in the morning and I am often the first to greet him, with his cup of steaming coffee in hand. His cup is poured before anyone else’s, one because he’s a guest and two because he’s down in the galley […]
A good friend of mine often shows up to our meetings together with her breakfast – a bright green drink so brilliant, it’s hard to know how she got it to be that green. We are talking neon, nuclear green. So one day, I asked her. Spinach, she says, is the key, without the […]

This week the cover came off the schooner! Sunny, warm, and folks we are going sailing soon. Now it’s just a race to see what we can get done before we drop the paint brushes and sanders, the cleaning rags and brass polish and hoist the sails for the first time. This is a lovely […]

Whether it’s for the holidays or just normal meal times, how families split the work load of getting dinner on the table is as varied as the domiciles in which they reside. How does your family split the work load? – and ordering pizza doesn’t count! In our family if one cooks, the others clean. […]

The aroma of bread baking is just about as evocative as it gets of home, mom and comfort however, I would contend that the smell of toasting granola is just as tantalizing and poignant a sensory experience. When we are on the bay sailing in and among the other vessels of the fleet, I always […]

On the Riggin we serve orange/citrus wedges decorated with other fruit at some point during the trip. Occasionally we have leftovers. We used to save them, wait until the end of the week and then throw them out. Every week. Not only were we wasting the oranges, but the zip-lock bag as well. Now we […]

One of my new favorite publications is Baker’s Notes put out by Scratch Baking Co. and designed by MORE & Co., the same group that designed Sugar & Salt, my new cookbook. The layout is a playful mix of daily snipets that allow a peak through the window of a baker’s life and serious tutorials […]

Good morning to my cupboard barren of cereal. Good morning to my refrigerator bereft of milk. I have things that I can make without going to the grocery store. I can go one or two more days without spending money. Today I will have Cheddar Cheese Polenta (Or maybe its grits if you are having […]

Up until I discovered Scratch Baking Co.’s bagel recipe in their new and really cool journal, Baker’s Notes, I’d been using Julia Child’s/Dorie Greenspan‘s in Baking with Julia Child. Fear not Julia and Dorie, you both remain Goddesses to me. Both recipes are good and because the descriptions are so detailed, I was able to […]

No knead sourdough bread is super easy on the arms and the Kitchen Aid. All it takes is time. After the dust of the holiday festivities had settled, I still had a refrigerator full of food needing immediate use. This bread began with a little bit of leftover oatmeal from the morning’s breakfast and became […]
