Pantry challenge day 30 – nearly there!
What will I do with my life when I don’t have to blog every single meal I make? Incidentally, I’ll be doing the proper wrap-up for this challenge on Saturday, as I’m going to be out late tomorrow and early…
Pantry Challenge Day 29 – with the end in sight!
Only two more days left in the pantry challenge, and I haven’t even tried making Poor Man’s Bread, northern Italian style, with chestnut flour. And in fact, I doubt I’m going to have the opportunity now, since tomorrow is choir…

Pantry challenge day 22
Today was not a great day in the annals of culinary activity. It started fairly well, with more rye bread for breakfast, this time with jam…
Pantry Challenge Day 21 – Ten days left!
