When I was a kid, I loved all the cartoons that were part of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. One of my favorites was Mr. Peabody and Sherman, with their “wayback machine” to travel through time. I felt as if I had traveled back in time last evening, as I…

Continue reading →: Not the Cook!
We drove to Orlando yesterday to spend two nights with our son, Ben, and his family. We came for a belated birthday celebration for Emmalyn, who turned eight last Friday. The primary reason we came when we did, though, is because Ken and Ben are judges for the Florida state…

We’ve enjoyed watching some exciting basketball this weekend. Since none of our alma maters is in the tournament, plus Kansas lost, we’re rooting for Florida. Ken spent 32 years on the faculty, so we definitely have a connection. I do need to explain the Kansas connection. My undergraduate degree was…

“Wow! This is absolutely delicious!” That was Ken’s reaction to tonight’s dinner. We tried a new recipe, something that sounded special enough for a Friday night dinner. I found this recipe in a recent Washington Post, although it apparently was recycled from 2017. It had been adapted from Turkish Delights:…

March Madness is serious fun in our family. Each year, Ken, our kids, and I fill out our brackets. Ken and I still tape ours to the desk and keep track of wins and losses. The texts were flying yesterday, as the first round of games got underway. Alice actually…

Like many people who celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, neither Ken nor I has a drop of Irish blood. We haven’t traveled to Ireland, either, although it’s definitely a place we’d love to visit. But the closest connection either of us has is that Ken has given a talk about the…

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike? I haven’t done it often, but I love traveling by train. It combines the best of travel: someone else is getting you from place to place, you have a chance to see the scenery, and you’re close to…

By now, you should know that I love to collect recipes. I used to look forward to the weekly food section of the newspaper, so that I could sort through and cut out any recipes that appealed to me. My mother gave me a subscription to Bon Appetit, and for…

Continue reading →: A Quiet Week?
It isn’t that I haven’t been cooking this week; it’s just been an issue of what I’ve cooked. I made one of our favorites, shrimp vodka pasta, but I posted that recipe a few months ago. Then we unexpectedly had our grandson, Luke, with us on Wednesday. Alice had either…

I know I haven’t written any food posts since Sunday, and I promise that there will be one about tonight’s dinner. I also know that I’ve written before about Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach, where I volunteer. I led a tour this morning, so I arrived early to…
