The October 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was making doughnuts! Since I’ve made several types of doughnuts in the past, I selected the new-to-me pumpkin cake doughnut recipe, a perfect snack for a very rainy afternoon.

Baja-style fish tacos with crispy rockfish and a side of fragrant black beans laced with onion, peppers, and blackberry compote (of all things!).
Taking the Cure

Home-cured salmon isn’t nearly as scary or complicated as I thought it would be! We loved this gravlax with scrambled eggs, in corn soup with okra croutons, and straight off the board.
