Sweet Tea Bars

June 25, 2023 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am really letting my Southern out here (not that I keep it locked away). Sweet tea is Southern summer. You cannot have one without the other. Pitchers and pitchers of it. Insulated tumblers on the boat, plastic pitchers in the cooler, a big glass pickle jar in the fridge to be poured in fancy glasses or the plastic stadium cups from your favorite barbecue joint. Can’t make it … [Read more...] about Sweet Tea Bars

Irish Barmbrack (Fruit and Tea Loaf)

March 13, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I picked up a recipe card in a grocery store in London for a fruit and tea loaf. It sounded good, so I was looking for the ingredients.

Sweet Tea Pecans

December 5, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I don’t know that I have ever attended a holiday party where there wasn’t a pretty little bowl full of seasoned nuts. Sometimes a silver or cut crystal bowl, sometimes shaped like Santa or a Christmas tree, usually on the bar or an end table.  And there are always people hovering around, picking up one or two nuts, but eyeing the bowl like they want to plunge their hand in and … [Read more...] about Sweet Tea Pecans

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.
