It’s rare that we cook three new recipes in a row, but that’s what we did this weekend: the lamb tagine on Friday, the stuffed cabbage soup on Saturday, and, for Sunday, one-pot summer pasta with chicken, corn, and bacon. All three were winners, both delicious and easy to prepare.…

My mother-in-law was a really good cook. She didn’t have a big repertoire of dishes, but I never had a bad meal at Ken’s home. Her two specialties, as far as Ken was concerned, were lasagna and stuffed cabbage. Stuffed cabbage is a favorite in our family, too. I tried…

Making a meal in one of my tagines is always special. There’s just something about putting one of these pots on the stove that says, “it’s not your ordinary meal tonight.” That was definitely true last evening, in more ways than one. Alice had a work event today in Belle…

When I think back on it, I realize that when we moved to Homestead, Florida, south of Miami, in 1976, we actually moved to seafood heaven. We were only a 30 minute drive from the Florida Keys, and we took up fishing not long after we settled in our new…

I’m beyond humbled to be nominated—twice—for the Sunshine Blogger Award. Victoria Kenanda, an incredibly talented writer, whose blog is victoriaseries , nominated me just before we headed out of town, and I didn’t get a chance to follow up before another member of my WordPress family, Darryl B, also nominated…

It has been a dreary, rainy week here, and we haven’t been able to walk as much as usual. But as we dodged raindrops one morning, I spotted a bit of color in a hedge. Surinam cherries were beginning to ripen. I had to check one of my gardening references…

Apologies to Fats Domino, but I couldn’t resist. It’s hard to resist the temptation of blueberry pie, too, and the one I made for Easter was certainly enticing. My mother made blueberry pie pretty regularly when I was growing up. Pie was a standard dessert around our house, and my…
