A Smart Thing to Keep in the Kitchen — Comment of the Day
Some of my favorite kitchen organizing tips are in this big collection of smart ideas from our readers so it’s no surprise that the comments on that post continued to offer up many more great thoughts. Here’s one tip from a reader on a (maybe unexpected?) thing she always keeps in her kitchen.
What’s Cooking This Weekend? — Weekend of March 14-15, 2015
I have a such a stack of cookbooks I have been wanting to cook out of, and seeing Michelle’s rainbow array of books reminded me to dig in and get going. What about you? Have you bought or borrowed any new cookbooks lately? What looks good? I’d love to hear about anything you’ve recently discovered and loved. And tell us: What’s cooking this weekend?
10 Geeky Goodies for a Very Special Pi Day — Pi Day 2015
Tomorrow is an important Pi Day — in fact, it’s one of a kind, in this century anyway. The date will be 3.14.15, which adds another set of pi-correct digits to the date’s usual three. (If you celebrate at 9:26, even better.)
We can’t pass up the geeky perfection of pi and pie together, so we rounded up a few favorite Pi Day goodies from Etsy.

“Mild onion, kiwi, banana and orange are spiced with a chopped pepper in this refreshing summer salsa. Try it with chips, or as a side to grilled meats and fish.”
Recipe: Speculoos-Swirl Skillet Brownie — Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn
If you like your brownies chewy, dense, and rich with chocolate, this is the recipe for you. Add a few swirls of melted speculoos — that sweet cookie spread that’s second only to Nutella — and you have brownie perfection.
What better way to show off this brownie than in a striking, rustic pan? My handy dandy cast iron skillet has done it again, proving that it’s not just for savory dishes, but it can produce awesome desserts, too!
black bottom oatmeal pie
Does anyone ever need an excuse to eat pie? Nobody we should be friends with, is my mantra. But, in an effort at inclusivity, here is a handy dandy excuse-finder, should you need a little convincing:
- Because it is not Friday yet.
- Because you probably woke up before you wanted to, and went to a job that even if you love, is still by definition something you wouldn’t do for free. Pie is an excellent consolation prize.
- Because yesterday felt like spring and everyone’s 3-month bad mood instantly evaporated. Today you needed a hat and gloves again. And a slice of pie, warmed just enough that a scoop of vanilla ice cream trickles over it.
- Because you’re probably never going to win that Maine Inn in time for lobster and blueberries season with an essay. (Although we are all rooting for you. And blueberry pie.)
- Because if you’re in the Northeast, fresh fruit pies are still months off, which means you get to make pies with chocolate and gooey caramel instead.
Notably absent: because it’s almost Pi Day. Seriously, guys, among all of the very compelling reasons to eat pie, the fact that the sixteenth letter of the Greek alphabet sounds like the word “pie” and has a numerical value that resembles the way a single country in the world writes its dates, and that date — 3/14/15 — will fall on Saturday is a bit of a stretch to use an excuse, even for someone who just argued you can and should eat pie just because the temperature dropped 12 degrees. Even the fact that this will be the nerdiest of Pi Days, because the year itself aligns with the fourth and fifth digits in the trillions-long patternless irrational number that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — you know, I can hear you snoring right now — is awfully convoluted of a rationale, especially when you could just make pie because this one is completely amazing.
