Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. To be honest, I have had relatively few kitchen failures, especially given how much I cook. But two stand out, for very different reasons, and one of them is a failure of a different kind. My most recent and most disastrous…

How do you celebrate holidays? As you might expect from someone who blogs mostly about food, every holiday celebration in our family centers around food. Even if it’s a holiday that one wouldn’t normally equate with special dishes, and even if it’s just Ken and myself, food will be part…

What are your favorite types of foods? How do you respond to the today’s prompt when you love to cook and to try new foods? It’s like asking a parent to name their favorite child! If push comes to shove, I suppose my answer has to be seafood. I love…

How often do you walk or run? I Today’s prompt is making me feel guilty, because I haven’t been out for a walk this morning. While I try to get out five days a week for at least 30 minutes, I’ve failed miserably at that goal this week. Either Ken…

No, today’s post has nothing to do with food. Well, maybe a little, since the idea came to me as we were walking to the donut shop this morning. (Really, I only had coffee. Well, a nibble of Ken’s donut…) At this time of year, South Florida is awash in…

I wrote about an Indian side dish a few weeks ago that I cooked with a quintessentially Indian entree, tandoori chicken. Certain sides just seem appropriate with particular dishes. I think it’s common to stay with the cuisine of the main dish. So if I’m cooking a Cuban dish, it’s…
