We snack, and it’s all my fault.

The Meal 2013
Last year, Art House worked with Action against Hunger to raise awareness of global hunger by asking people around the world simply to share a picture of their meal. So join the project! February 22nd at noon, eastern standard time, snap a picture of yourself and your meal, and share it via Twitter (@arthouse, #themeal) or email it to Art House. More details at the Art House website.
Look for our pictures here next week!
It’s The Bombe
A couple years ago, my sister gave me Jenni’s Splendid Ice Creams cookbook and the boys and I have been happily exploring its recipes. But it wasn’t until recently that Ben took a close look at the back of the book and discovered the accompaniments section, where we found the recipe for “Bombe Shell,” a fabulous and easy chocolate sauce that hardens on contact with ice cream.
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I offer this recipe in the spirit of the season, and hope someone coats something with chocolate for you.
Cooking with Tea
If you haven’t already heard, then let me be the one to tell you: Tea is not just for your afternoon cuppa.
For a recent cocktail party, Tony and I demonstrated a moment of serendipitous marital and culinary harmony when we both reached for the tea leaves. Keeping with our usual kitchen division of labor, I made the salty snack, he made the cocktail. They married beautifully.

Eating Red and Gold
It’s not every year that two of the local teams play for the championship, and although we’re really more of a baseball and basketball family, it’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement about the Forty-Niners.
Naturally, I’m all about the food, and that leads to two questions: How can our meal support our team? And, having read about Lisa’s Super Bowl plans, how, I wonder, can this happen without me spending game day in the kitchen?
I asked the family what we should eat for a Red and Gold Superbowl Dinner.
“Chips and salsa!” suggested Eli.
“Lemon meringue pie with raspberry sauce,” said Ben.
Tony says he’s going to Gordo’s for a burrito — a Super, naturally, for the Super Bowl. And so it’s set: the kids and I can make the pie Saturday night, and then Sunday all we have to do is open the chips and salsa and take a half-time walk to the taqueria.
Go Niners!
