Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Today, Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures invited us to join them in sharing drinks to warm you up. They wrote: "Winter is in full swing and it's time to warm up with a beverage. Think hot chocolate, hot toddy, warm cider, cappuccino and more for this event." It sounded perfect after a couple of chilly weeks in Denmark for the holidays!

It's time for the February  Secret Recipe Club . Woohoo! Meet Raina of Connor's Cooking  who loves cooking and baking for friends and family. She writes, "Sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a miss, but being in the kitchen is one of my favorite ways to spend my time." You gotta love a gal who admits to kitchen flops. Raina and I had crossed paths last year when she was assigned to my blog - in August - and whipped up some hoecakes  based on my family's tradition of hoecakes for Presidents' Day . But this was my first time exploring her culinary creations. Not edible, but I love that she has a recipe for Oobleck on her blog. While you can't ingest oobleck, it is fun, fun, fun; it's a slime that has properties of both liquids and solids. Though I didn't have a chance to make it this month, I have before. The boys love it. Click for Raina's slime recipe: here . When I was searching for something to cook for the SRC, I was enamou...

"A Merry Christmas, Bob!" said Scrooge with an earnestness that could not be mistaken, as he clapped him on the back. "A merrier Christmas, Bob, my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year! I'll raise your salary, and endeavor to assist your struggling family, and we will discuss your affairs this very afternoon over a bowl of Smoking Bishop, Bob! " The drink, as NPR's Neda Ulaby discovered  when she interviewed Cedric Dickens, Charles's great-grandson and author of Drinking with Dickens , is hot, spiced wine similar to wassail — something like a mulled wine, scented with citrus and infused with port. Ingredients 1 bottle of red wine same amount of water 1/2 C organic dark brown sugar juice from 4 roasted oranges + 1 roast...
