Remove the potatoes from the water, drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel & trim the ends. Cut each potato into 8 equal-size lengthwise wedges.

...perfectly cakey while remaining light & tender, delicately flavored with orange, date, & cinnamon. The pecans & the dates, if not overly puréed, add a wonderful toothsome bite. If you have a copy of 0range Appeal, I would serve these muffins warm with the Honey-Orange

Why ketchup on scrambled eggs is a special treat for me. When I was a kid, my mom used to make herself - and only for herself, like a mom treat - what we called "fried egg sandwich" - a round egg omelet she made in a tiny, individual omelet pan that made a single omelet just...
