About

Sometimes, when I'm not busy Obama administration fan-girling or being a full time student, I bake things. These are those things.

There is nothing I love more, food wise, than a good potato. I know there are much healther veggies to consume but I can’t help it. I served these with dinner last night and they were to die for.

8 whole medium potatoes1 stick Butter 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese ½ cups Scallions, Chopped 12 teaspoons Half-and-half Salt And Pepper
Pierce potatoes with fork, sprinkle with salt, wrap in damp paper towel and microwave for 15 minutes. Potatoes should be firm. Set aside and let cool till they can be handled, then slice.
Place 1/2 Tbsp pats of butter in each mold of the muffin/cupcake pan, then a slice of potatoes, a pinch of salt and pepper, then cheese and scallions. Repeat layers: potato, salt & pepper, cheese, scallions. (I only did 2 layers, but I suggest going up to 3.) Top each mold with another pat of butter and drizzle each with 1 tsp of half-and-half.
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes, until cheese is melted and potatoes are brown.

In the typical high-end food magazine story, a writer travels to an exotic locale, gets exclusive access to an exclusive restaurant or master chef’s kitchen, obtains a closely guarded ancient recipe for a complicated dish, which she then executes flawlessly back in her own kitchen. On a typical food-blog entry, the blogger returns from a frustrating day at the office, deals with a crisis involving his cat, turns to the uninspiring assortment of items in his pantry (middle-aged eggplants, a single, forlorn-looking tangerine, cumin), and then, with the help of several cookbooks, cobbles together a tangerine-scented Moroccan eggplant couscous that he enjoys with a bottle of beer and some Tivo-ed reruns of House. If the popularity of food blogs is any indication, our current vision of ourselves, as preparers and consumers of meals, is not as kitchen pros who can magically make the complicated look effortless, but as bumbling amateurs who can miraculously pull together a meal that actually tastes good. Gourmet billed itself as the magazine of good living, implying that by the time you had the means and inclination to subscribe to a glossy food magazine, you had the living part down, and now were ready to improve upon what was already working well. It assumed readers possessed a mandoline, a passport, and a working knowledge of Portuguese. The napkins in your pantry not only were cloth, they also matched, were clean, and had even been ironed. Food blogs, by comparison, assume that for readers, life itself is a daily work in progress.

Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt
Five ingredients. Three steps. All hail Pioneer Woman.
Seriously, these would make the perfect little Christmas gifts for coworkers and acquaintances - put them in a pretty little box and voila! If there’s a girl out there who doesn’t like salt and chocolate together, then I have yet to meet her.

This recipe is definitely going on my Christmas candies to make list.
