Ken and I do a lot of things together, but cooking is rarely one of them. I suspect that’s my fault. Patience is not one of my virtues, and things that are intuitive to me in the kitchen aren’t for Ken. He’s a good cook, and I really appreciate that…

What’s your favorite thing to cook? I would be hard pressed to choose one specific dish that is my favorite to cook. But a food, an ingredient that I love to cook? That’s easy: fish. I’ve posted plenty of fish recipes since I started this blog, and with good reason.…

We’ve had as long a stretch of cool weather as I can remember in all the years we’ve lived in Florida, and it’s going to get even colder. We’re expecting freezing temperatures here Saturday and Sunday nights. Brrr!! But it has been nice to walk in the brisk air this…

I’m still in the process of getting back into the swing of things. I’m definitely feeling better. All the surgical glue is now gone from my abdomen, so I asked our kids if that meant I’d come unglued. Well, I thought it was funny. I’m back in the kitchen, but,…

I cooked dinner last night—the first I’ve cooked since our anniversary on December 28th! It was an easy recipe, a new one that took minimal effort for amazing results. But just being able to cook dinner again felt like a huge milestone. I’m actually feeling much better. I had the…

Once upon a time, I was known for my chili. Not that my original version was anything special: it was onion, maybe some green pepper, a pound of ground beef, a can of tomatoes and another of kidney beans, and my “secret ingredient”—a package of French’s Chili-O. In grad school,…

It turns out that I’m not the spring chicken my brain tells me I am. It’s telling me, “time to get it in gear.” My body, on the other hand, is screaming, “not so fast!” My recovery from surgery hasn’t been as easy as I expected. As a result, I’ve…

Although I grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch family where New Year’s dinner was pork and sauerkraut—plus, when my grandmother hosted, stuffed pig stomach, I have come to love Hoppin John to celebrate the holiday. That’s what we’ve done most of the years since my parents passed, maybe also cooking…

Not many pictures to choose from this week, as my walks have been short and very close to home. But this little guy was waiting along our front walk when Ken and I returned a few days ago, and didn’t seem terribly bothered by us.
