Here we are at the final Soup Saturday Swappers event of 2020. Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm  started this event and, every month, I get a new array of soup recipes to put in my to-try pile. This month, Sue of Palatable Pastime  is hosting as we explore cabbage soups. She urged us to "Create a soup or stew using any type of cabbage and post with us on reveal day. All types of cabbage can be used: green, white, red, purple, savoy, napa, bok choy, choy sum, etc. You may also use fermented cabbages such as sauerkraut and/or kimchi if you so choose as your cabbage ingredient." Here's the line-up of cabbage soup recipes from the #SoupSwappers...

I picked up The Tenth Island: Finding Joy, Beauty, and Unexpected Love in the Azores by Diana Marcum* this week. And I finished it in two sittings. This is Marcum's personal account of her explorations of the remote Azores islands off the coast of Portugal. She had forged relationships with the Azorean diaspora in California's central valley, then traveled to the islands to live temporarily on the island of Terceira. 'The Tenth Island' - as there are nine islands in the Azorean archipelago - refers to everywhere in the world that Azorean communities keep the traditions alive, including California, Canada, Hawaii, and southern Brazil. It's less of a physical place as it is a piece of the Azores that the people carry within themselves that preserves their culture for themselves and for future generations. "The Tenth Island is what you carry inside you. Its what's left when everything falls away. Those of us who live between worlds just know the Tenth Is...

This week the Wine Pairing Weekend Bloggers are looking at Vinho Verde. Since it's summer and their price points are so attractive, I decided to do a nice exploration of a few bottles of Vinho Verde Rosé. Up first was a bottle of João Portugal Ramos Vinho Verde Rosé 2018. I will be sharing more about the wine and my tasting notes during the upcoming #WinePW event. For now, here's the recipe with which I paired it... Za'atar Manakeesh I have always called this  Man’oushe.  The Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf saw this on the table and said, "Oh, Mom! You made  Manakeesh . I love  Manakeesh ." Turns out that some of his classmates had made and brought a za'atar-laden flatbread to a class potluck and called it  Manakeesh . Fine. Whatever you want to call it, it's easy to make and delicious. You can eat this just as is, but you can serve it as an appetizer with olives and feta cheese. Or it can be part of a heavier Middle Eastern meal composed of h...

#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our of lovely bread by following our  Pinterest board  right here. Links are also updated after each event on the  Bread Bakers home page .  We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. This month I am hosting and asked the bloggers to post Easter breads from around the world as our theme. I wrote: "We're posting after the actual holiday. I know. However, as everyone is home, sheltered-in-place to help flatten the coronavirus curve, maybe people are delaying Easter celebrations with friends and family. I know I am!"
