Our family spent a week at Amicalola State Park in northern Georgia for our 1997 summer vacation. On our way home, we spent a night in Valdosta, Georgia. Before smartphones, Google, Yelp, or TripAdvisor, we found restaurants based on recommendations in AAA travel guides, or the guides published by Mobil.…

Continue reading →: Another Falls Walk
Yesterday was another hike to a waterfall, one we have seen several times. No matter how often Ken and I walk this trail, however, I never fall to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the water cascading down the mountain. This is actually a twin falls, with two streams flowing…

We hiked another waterfall today, I’ll post my pictures of the falls in a separate post, but we were at high enough elevation that there were still some wildflowers to be seen. I haven’t identified them, I simply enjoyed their beauty. And then there was the fungus… There’s more to…

We’re having a wonderfully relaxing trip. And although I’m cooking dinner in the cabin each evening, we’ve enjoyed a couple of terrific lunches out. Where we’re staying is close to Helen, Georgia, which is an interesting town. It was a dying logging town until, in the 1960s, it reinvented itself…

We hiked to Duke’s Creek Falls this morning. It was such a beautiful hike that it deserves its own post. The falls are within in the Chattahoochee National Forest, so the trail is well maintained. It’s rated as a moderate, in-and-out trail, a little more than two miles round trip.…

We took a road trip! We’ve driven to northern Georgia, into the mountains, for a week at the aptly named Rest and Relaxation cabin near Helen, Georgia. We first came to this area in 1989, when our kids were little, and have been back numerous times since. Ben was four…

Primavera means spring in Italian, and the word conjures up images of green grass, trees leafing out, bright flowers, and warm days with cool nights. It’s the perfect sort of weather for pasta primavera or its risotto version—plenty of fresh, green vegetables in a creamy sauce over pasta, or those…

Continue reading →: Good Knives, and Good Luck
I had thought about titling this “knives out,” because I love those movies, but I thought I’d pay homage to George Clooney’s stage version of “Good Night and Good Luck” that aired on CNN last month. If you missed it, it’s definitely worth your while to find it watch it.…

Continue reading →: Repeat after me: It’s Only a Guideline
Some days I just take small liberties with a recipe. Occasionally, I’ll follow a recipe exactly. Then there are those times when the written recipe is not much more than the inspiration for the final result. Sunday was one of those days. It didn’t start out that way. I’ve made…

Continue reading →: Peruvian Style
I admit that I don’t know much about Peruvian cuisine. Although Ken has eaten at a Peruvian restaurant in Lake Worth a number of times, I’ve never been there. The restaurant is in the regular rotation of places that the men’s group Ken is part of eats lunch every other…
