Homity Pie (Potato, Leek and Cheddar Pie)

January 29, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I’ll admit, I was first intrigued by this dish because of the name. It seemed to me something ancient and quaint, like a medieval recipe or remnant of a Tudor kitchen.

So I did a little research, and as best as I can tell, its origins are not so … [Read more...] about Homity Pie (Potato, Leek and Cheddar Pie)

Sometimes, in the bleak days of winter, when the holidays are over and real life comes crashing back in, it is nice to have a moment of simple comfort.

Do you remember pushing whole cloves into an orange to use as a Christmas decoration? We called them pomanders and I just love the smell of orange peel and clove. It speaks to me of Christmas.

Autumn is a wonderful time for snacking. Whether it’s watching games, gathering with friends to enjoy the weather, or hosting family holiday meals, people love together around small bites and chat..

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
