Continue reading →: Take Me to Italy!
I’ve only been to Italy once, but it wasn’t what most people think of when they consider a visit to Italy. We flew into Turin, and spent a week on a walking tour in the Piedmont, based in the little village of Montelupo d’Alba. We had great fun and ate…

Continue reading →: Life Happens, But We Keep On Cooking
It has been one of those weeks when our usual routine has been thrown off kilter. There’s been nothing major, unless you count that hot wire, electrical smell that signals trouble ahead. Because of that, today we’re playing the waiting game, anticipating the delivery of a new washer. Until last…

Continue reading →: Cooking Up Memories
Food is so good at stirring up memories of places, events, even people, and I know that many of my posts mention a particular memory associated with the recipe I’m discussing. This particular recipe brings back an avalanche of memories. I’ve mentioned our time in Prague on more than one…

Continue reading →: A Resurrected Recipe
Today’s post is about the second recipe I mentioned yesterday. Last night’s dinner, using this recipe, was delicious, but putting it together was, well, interesting.

Do you have any collections? I never set out to collect anything. They just sort of happened. But, thinking about it, I have two collections to share today. My cookbooks can legitimately be considered a collection. When we moved into this house 36 years ago, all of my cookbooks fit…

I blame the fact that I eat much too fast on having been a teacher. Lunch period was always too short, and there was always too much to do. I rarely had the chance to enjoy my meal. The problem is, it’s a hard habit to break. It didn’t help…

Continue reading →: Authentically Delicious
After three years of graduate school and living on our combined stipends, Ken and I took advantage of the fact that we had a real paycheck coming in. For one thing, Ken asked that I not make macaroni and cheese for dinner ever again. (He relented eventually, but it took…

Continue reading →: Something Simple
When I was teaching and choosing music for my choirs to sing, I always tried to balance those choices. It was important that the students be challenged, to build their skills and expand their musical experiences, but I also wanted to set them up for success, so that when we…

Continue reading →: Mother’s Day Meatloaf
I doubt that meatloaf was high on the list of meals cooked for mothers this past Sunday, but that’s what Ken made for me, and I was just fine with it. Given all the cooking he did while I was sick, it hadn’t occurred to me that he would want…
