What’s your favorite word? Answering today’s prompt, my favorite word is enthusiasm. I had a poster in my choral classroom that read, “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” To me, that means more than “just do it.” It signals doing things with passion, with love. At this stage of…

I love Tuesday nights. I’m not referring to the cookbooks from the Milk St. kitchen. What makes Tuesday night special is that it’s Ken’s night to cook. Although Ken would cook occasionally before, he started cooking regularly after he retired. Since Tuesday was the day that most of my voice…

My dear friend Mary is the person who first made me aware of the wonderful green bean dishes of Greece. We both own and cook out the wonderful The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook by Nancy Harmon Jenkins. Mary cooks green beans with tomatoes and olive oil from that source. She raved…

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…

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. I don’t usually respond to the daily prompts that pop up when I open my blog, but I had to respond to this one. The furthest I’ve ever traveled from home is Luhacovice, a spa town in Moravia that…

No, we’re not talking about Camelot or knights. Today’s post is not even specifically about foods. I’m talking, instead, about what one of my English friends calls the conviviality of dining at a round table. Maybe this is something that is obvious to you, and I was probably vaguely aware…

Do you devour the food section of the newspaper? When we lived in what is now Miami-Dade County, I used to love Thursday, because that was the day the Miami Herald included its food section. Then, when we moved to Palm Beach County and subscribed to the Palm Beach Post;…

I love fish. I love the sweet flakiness of flounder and snapper. Cobia is the bomb. I’ve lost count of how many ways I’ve cooked salmon. I could go on. I’ll admit, there are two things I don’t like about fish. I hate that fresh fish has gotten so much…

I don’t need much convincing when my husband suggests lunch at our favorite seafood restaurant. It’s a 45-minute drive, and you need to get there shortly after they open to get a table, but the food is absolutely worth it—fresh, creative, and delicious. Ken chose a fried oyster po’ boy,…
