This is my first post about breakfast. And, truthfully, it’s more about memories than what we ate this morning, although that’s what triggered the memories. I made a stop at BJ’s yesterday (and before you ask, why not Costco, BJ’s opened a couple years before Costco, so we joined there…

Continue reading →: What’s in a Name?
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc. The name Lynn is derived from a Welsh word that means lake. There’s also a similar Irish word that means pond or waterfall. Maybe that’s why I like to be around water! I once asked my parents how they chose…

It’s Tuesday, which means that Ken did most of the cooking. I stopped offering private voice lessons at the beginning of Covid lockdown, and I thought that Ken might want to give up Tuesday night cooking, but he kept right on. He had started cooking on Tuesdays because that was…

I’m not sure exactly how long it’s been since Ben and Annie gave me a traditional clay tagine for Mother’s Day, but I know that I was still teaching. So that makes it at least 11 years old, and it’s probably a couple of years older than that. It was…

There’s fish, and then there’s fish. Yellowtail snapper has been one of my favorites ever since we first tasted it, shortly after we moved to Florida in 1976. At that time, we lived in Homestead, which is about as close to the Keys as you can live and still be…

We are not serious bird watchers. We can recognize many of the species that we see locally, and we casually keep track of those we’ve seen and identified, but it’s hardly a hobby. But when we went to one of our favorite local parks, Green Cay Wetlands and Nature Center,…

When I started this blog, I thought I would continue with the schedule I used for the virtual dining newsletter that I was involved with during the pandemic lockdown and beyond. That meant emails twice a week; Monday was a recap of how everyone had chosen to eat to that…

Continue reading →: The Bed and Breakfast Road Tour
Think back on your most memorable road trip. In June, 1982, in what turned out to be our last pre-kids summer, and well before digital cameras and I developed my love of photography, Ken and I took an amazing road trip through New England. I’m sharing my memories, but I’m…

Continue reading →: Cooking What You Really Have
The last two recipes that I’ve shared have come from the cookbook I received for Christmas, one of Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street books titled Cook What You Have. I like the concept of putting meals together that are based around ingredients you have in your fridge, freezer, or pantry. I’ve…

Continue reading →: Easy Does It
Much as I love to cook, there are times when taking shortcuts or letting someone else do most of the work sounds really attractive. We knew that this was going to be an incredibly busy weekend, so when we were planning our weekly menu a few days ago, Ken suggested…
