Continue reading →: Soup’s On
To me, soup is something that requires hours of cooking. It’s probably because that’s how my parents made soup. So I often don’t think of soup during the summer. Yet there are excellent summer soups. One of my favorites was the Greek chicken soup with lemon and orzo that used…

I’d intended to write one more time about our meals onboard the Vikings Aegir, but I hadn’t found the time. Then Mike, who writes the wonderful blog Next Eleven Years, and who I am sure is the all-time master of eggs Benedict, posted about his latest Bennie, and I knew…

I’m a planner. I don’t really like to let things go until the last minute. In cooking terms, that means weekly menu planning and shopping with a grocery list created from that menu. Sometimes we’ll leave an “open” night on the menu, but it’s rare that I don’t have a…

I admit it, I’m flattered when someone eats a dish I’ve made and asks for the recipe. That was the case yesterday. We had a potluck picnic to celebrate the Fourth of July, and I signed up to bring a pasta salad. It was a great party. I was more…

I mentioned in the title of my previous post that the Danube isn’t blue. The color blue is associated with the river because of the title to Johann Strauss’ famous waltz, On the Beautiful Blue Danube, which was taken from a line in a poem. The water color depends on…

I had lots of good intentions about posting while on our trip. Unfortunately, intentions didn’t result in actions. I posted about our adventures traveling to Europe, and also about some of the food we ate. But you have all had to wait until we got home for me to write…

We’re more than halfway through our river cruise, (I’ve actually been working on this post for three days), and it has been wonderful. The scenery has been spectacular, our excursions very interesting, and the food uniformly delicious. We haven’t eaten anything we didn’t enjoy, with one exception, and that was…

Continue reading →: To the Rescue
Ah, we have made it to Germany and the Danube, but not without some drama. Remember those news stories a couple of months back about the air traffic control issues at Newark airport? Well, it’s still a problem. About 10 minutes before our flight from Orlando to Newark was scheduled…

Continue reading →: Outward Bound—Almost!
We are just about set for the first stage of our summer trip—actually, the first of two that we have planned. We will drive to Orlando tomorrow and spend the night with our son, Ben, and then on Saturday fly to Munich for a Danube River cruise on a Viking…

My apologies to Elton John, but I couldn’t resist the title. I’m not talking about music (although it’s a great song) or my mental state. No, today’s recipe features blue cheese. For me, blue cheese was an acquired taste, but one that I now love. I would eat blue cheese…
