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…

Continue reading →: Mother’s Day Meatloaf
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…

Continue reading →: Hello Grouper, My Old Friend
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…

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…

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.…

Continue reading →: Wrap It Up!
I pulled out the cookbook that has the recipe I’m cooking tonight and realized that I hadn’t posted a recipe from the same book that I made almost two weeks ago. I have to rectify that, because this dish is too good not to share. Phyllo-wrapped salmon is one of…

What makes you nervous? I’m not as bad as I used to be, but I still get nervous when I fly in a plane. In my defense, it stems from an experience that I think makes my nerves understandable. The first time I flew was when Ken and I went…

Continue reading →: The Recipe in my Head
When I found a package of lamb cubes at the supermarket a few weeks ago, there was no doubt in my mind that we would be eating some sort of lamb stew for Easter. And I had a pretty good idea of what it would be: the meat in a…
