I was asked to contribute a couple dozen cookies of some sort to be handed out at our historic neighborhood’s home tour this year. Mrs. O refused to allow me to do my usual gingersnaps, and I went along with it (though I...

Mrs. Mousse loves the cucumber fresca and the blood orange and mint smash. If you’re in the mood for a beer order the Saison Dupont.

I have found that the oven temp also varies with the quality of the bacon. Crap bacon, a la Oscar Meyer or Patrick Cudahy in our area, is indeed 400 degrees. Better quality bacon, such as Nueske’s or something from a...
