I promised, when I mentioned in a previous post that we were having a pierogi party, that I would write an entry about the party, so here it is. The good news: everyone had a great time. The bad news: there are no leftover pierogi. Ken and I have made…

Where would you go on a shopping spree? If I could go on a shopping spree, ideally it would be some place with plenty of food. So a public market or food hall would be my idea of shopping heaven. We have been to the Pike Place Market in Seattle,…

Friday nights have meant “nice dinner” for Ken and me since we were first married. It would be date night, the evening we were most likely to go out. Even in grad school, when we didn’t have much money, it was still a special time. Ken’s department had what they…

I’m always learning, including about foods and cooking. But sometimes, a lack of knowledge ends up helping create something new. This evening‘s dinner was one of those dishes that I created by accident years ago and that is still a family favorite. It was probably in the late 1980s that…

As a musician, there have been special moments when a performance ends on a high. Something about how you and your fellow musicians gelled, a particular connection with or reaction from the audience, a difficult piece that had given you fits in rehearsal suddenly feels—and sounds—effortless.

By now, you know that I love botanical gardens. Ken and I visited a favorite today, Morikami Museum and Gardens, in Delray Beach. The Morikami gardens have an interesting history. The land was donated to Palm Beach County by George Morikami, a farmer originally from Japan and the last member…

If I had to name one dish as my go-to comfort food, it would be mashed potatoes. Honestly, when I make them, it’s amazing that there are any potatoes to put on the table. I’d be perfectly happy to eat them straight from the pot. Mashed potatoes bring back so…

Something very rare happened today. I had sandwiches for both lunch and dinner. And oh, my, were they good! As I’ve said before, we usually go out for lunch on Saturday. Ken and I were both in the mood for Greek food, which isn’t all that unusual. We enjoy going…
