Great food - Simply
It was another summer Friday in the neighborhood and that called for another festive cocktail. Riding high on the success of last session’s passionfruit mojitos, I decided to make mango mojitos. The drink itself followed much the same construction, but the mango was decidedly sweeter than the passionfruit, so I decided that it needed a […]
Summer evenings in the neighborhood can be wonderful. Occasionally on a Friday some of us neighbors bring out folding chairs and sit together in one front yard for a bit of happy hour while the kids go mental on someone else’s lawn. It’s pretty much BYO, but we do mix up a pitcher of experimental […]
We spent the better part of last summer in Puerto Rico, and among the tasty things that my little guy fell in love with was tembleque, a jiggly (temblar means to tremble) dessert that falls somewhere between pudding and flan. I promised him we’d make it back in New York, and this weekend, for a […]
When the heat gets tropical, so should the drinks. On a recent trip to the mountains of Puerto Rico, I was inspired by a wonderfully cooling and exotic sangrÃa I had up around and about El Yumque (Caribbean National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Forest Service system) at Noelia’s, recommended to us […]
There are a number of land crab species skittering about Caribbean coastlines. Some are edible and the one we eat most here in Puerto Rico (although I am told they mostly are imported from Venezuela these days) is Cardisoma guanhumi which we call juey and — if you are English-speaking — you might call the […]
A Stand to hold prosciutto for slicing
The answer will be revealed momentarily!
Apple peeler/corer/slicer. Best. invention. ever.
I own the same one, just in green! Great for my family’s age-old pear relish recipe!
How funny! Great minds think alike….(that is actually very deep, when you think about it…)
Love this gadget – it peels and cores and I think it even slices an apple in just one or two rotations!
not fair for me to guess since I think I gave this to you-it does slice too! I especially like the suction cup attachment.
I’ve also used it without the corer-slicer to peel potatoes.
Haha! Will be crediting you in tomorrow’s post….And have been thinking a lot about a fall visit…I want to know how your work is coming along!
Cores (and peels) apples while turning the handle.
I used it much times for made my apple frittes on the cities parties
I was going to say the same as Susan. The most obscure looking machine like that that I’ve seen is one for removing cherry stones 🙂
Darn, I thought it was something for removing facial hair!
Best,

Cores (and peels) apples while turning the handle. Might need an engineering degree to set the apples up properly, me thinks! Pies in your future FC&E?
Apple peeler!?!
It’s an apple corer/slicer. My neighbor is a gadget queen and she has one!
I meant corer/peeler. I was thinking the only thing that could make it more awesome is if it sliced as well!
Apple peeler and corer. I used to sell them for Pampered Chef!
