Continue reading →: A Collection of Collections
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…

Continue reading →: A Delicious Rediscovery
I love going through my dinner journals from past years and rediscovering recipes we’ve forgotten. I’ve mentioned these journals before; we started noting what we cooked for dinner in 2017. I include the cookbook or other recipe source, including the page or other location, and comments about our thoughts on…

Continue reading →: Slowing Down
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…

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…

Even though I was sick and out of action for less than a week, I feel so far behind. I’m trying to get caught up on some really good recipes. When we first moved to Florida, in the 70s, we probably ate grouper more than any other fish. It was…

Well, that wasn’t fun! It certainly wasn’t a bad case of Covid, although I wouldn’t wish the headache I had on my worst enemy. Ken and I kept our distance, however, and I was banished from the kitchen. Ken fed me well, and if I’d thought to take pictures, I’d…

Continue reading →: Whose Recipe Is It?
Another post without a recipe, I’m sorry to say. I tested positive for Covid yesterday, and I’m isolating in our guest room. Ken has never had Covid, and we’re trying to keep it that way. I really don’t feel that badly today, and I’m bored. I’ve done numerous Sudoku puzzles…

Continue reading →: Friends, Food, Music, Nature—and a Dog!
I haven’t posted this week because we’ve been away. (And I didn’t have a chance to read and like/comment on the blogs I follow; sorry!) We visited friends who live near Sarasota, across the state from us. And it was just the best few days. Kathie is my best friend.…
