I enjoy looking at my Facebook memories, especially when they include my grandkids. Today’s were especially fun, because they were of my then-3-year-old helper, Luke, cooking with me. I’ve written before about the importance of teaching kids to cook, and how much I enjoy having my grandchildren in the kitchen…

Maybe war is too strong a word, but, when I was growing up, my brother and I used to fight to get the most ravioli when my mother cooked them. It was a competition that only ended when my parents decided that ravioli would be divided equally among the four…

I’m not one to turn down an opportunity to cook or eat seafood, so when Ken suggested we put “some Mediterranean fish recipe” on this week’s menu, I was very happy to oblige. After looking through a number of cookbooks, I went back to my favorite source for fish recipes,…

We’re having a wonderfully relaxing trip. And although I’m cooking dinner in the cabin each evening, we’ve enjoyed a couple of terrific lunches out. Where we’re staying is close to Helen, Georgia, which is an interesting town. It was a dying logging town until, in the 1960s, it reinvented itself…

We hiked to Duke’s Creek Falls this morning. It was such a beautiful hike that it deserves its own post. The falls are within in the Chattahoochee National Forest, so the trail is well maintained. It’s rated as a moderate, in-and-out trail, a little more than two miles round trip.…
