The Gingerbread Diaries Building an eco-home from a favorite holiday sweet	Roz Cummins	29 Nov 2007	'Tis the Season
When my friend Deanna told me that she wanted to make a gingerbread house this year -- and, in particular, to do so on Black Friday, aka Buy Nothing Day -- I immediately asked if we could make an environmentally sound house. The chances of my ever being able to afford the real-life eco-house of my dreams are slim unless I win the lottery, but I figured I could at least afford the gingerbread ver ...

Giving Thanks A recipe for no-boil pumpkin lasagna	Roz Cummins	15 Nov 2007	'Tis the Season
For most of my adult life I've been anti-lasagna. It's not that I refuse to eat it. Quite the reverse! I love to eat lasagna. I just refused to make it. The idea of boiling giant, unwieldy sheets of pasta always got on my nerves. It didn't seem worth it, no matter how delicious the result. For years, a little depiction of a pan of lasagna superimposed with one of those internationally recognized "No!" cir ...

Send your best Thanksgiving recipe Cranberries? Tofurky? We'll eat it all up	Roz Cummins	07 Nov 2007	Gristmill
It's that time of year again. In between taking down Halloween decorations, excavating coats, hats, and mittens from last year's pile of never-quite-got-washed-or-put-away outerwear, and putting up holiday lights, Thanksgiving sneaks up on us. Once I smell the smoke from my neighbor's woodstoves and hear the crunch of leaves under my feet, I know that the time to savor pumpkin, squash, and sage is just around the corner. This year we're asking readers to ...

'Tis the season (to celebrate our ties to the earth) A sampling of recipes for Passover	Roz Cummins	30 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Over the next few weeks, I will be writing about meals that express our connection to and appreciation for the earth. In keeping with this theme, I'll start with Marge Piercy's new book, Pesach for the Rest of Us: Making the Passover Seder Your Own. My interest in seders (the meal served at Passover) started when I was in high school and worked as a 'hostess helper' for families who were hosting seders. Having been raised Catholic, I had never experienced a seder befo ...

'Tis the season (for a romantic dinner ... for eight!) Roz Cummins whips up Valentine vittles	Roz Cummins	14 Feb 2007	Gristmill
I don't know about you, but sometimes it just seems like more fun to have dinner with a group of friends -- those who are single and those who aren't -- on Valentine's Day than with just one person. Why? Well, let me put it this way: having dinner with just one person, no matter how beloved that person is, does not guarantee that your evening will be a romantic one. Case in point: A few years ago I called a former beau to ask if he wanted to go out to dinner, as we we ...

'Tis the Season (for recycled desserts and Napoleon as locavore) Make your leftover Xmas sweets into something yummy	Roz Cummins	02 Jan 2007	Gristmill
In my experience, even a calm and pleasant holiday results in a house strewn with bits of paper, empty boxes filled with styrofoam peanuts, a guilt-inducing list of thank-you notes to be written, and a fridge full of leftovers. Here are three recipes for 'recycled' holiday desserts that turn less-than-enjoyable ingredients into actual treats: Deanna Dement-Myers' Boxing Day Trifle My friend Deanna explained Boxing Day Trifle (the day after Christmas is known as Boxin ...

'Tis the Season (for extreme grocery shopping) Two non-turkey recipes for the Thanksgiving feast	Roz Cummins	19 Nov 2006	Gristmill
Thanksgiving is a funny holiday. It's a weird mix of frenzy and sloth, gratitude and greed. What should be a fun and peaceful time spent with relatives and friends is often preceded by the chaos of having too much to do and too little time in which to do it. If you are the person responsible for cooking the Thanksgiving meal, you know that Extreme Grocery Shopping is the hallmark of the holiday. Simply getting your groceries home can be the stuff of nightmares if y ...
