Yesterday was Ken’s birthday. He is the master of stretching the celebration. It’s never just one day. Our “special dinner” will be tonight, and then Alice, Luke, and Dante will join us for dinner on Saturday for a family celebration.

We were in the mood for shrimp, but I told Ken that I wanted to try a new recipe. He suggested roasted shrimp with white beans and feta, a recipe he had in his list of interesting dishes from the annual Cooking Light compilations we own. I agreed, but I…

I’m remembering my grandmother especially today, September 10th, because it was her birthday. She passed away in 1988 and, to be honest, I miss her more than my mom. She loved to cook and bake, and some of my fondest memories are times I spent with her in her kitchen.…

I have given up trying to grow basil. I used to always start a pot of basil in late September or October, and it would keep me supplied through the winter and into early spring, until the plants began to bolt. However, a few years ago, downy mildew started taking…
