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…

Continue reading →: “Turkish-ish Delight”
“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…

Continue reading →: A Walk in the Garden
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…

Continue reading →: Mama Bear Mode
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? Ever since Ken and I came out of a particularly contentious meeting with our son’s fourth grade teacher and he turned and said to me, “mama bear made her appearance in there,” I’ve figured that a bear is my spirit animal.…

Continue reading →: Cuban Comfort Food
One of the best things about moving to South Florida was being introduced to Cuban cuisine. Our original Florida home was Homestead, south of Miami, and we were only here a few weeks when one of Ken’s colleagues took us to a restaurant on Calle Ocho in Miami. Calle Ocho…
