We took a road trip! We’ve driven to northern Georgia, into the mountains, for a week at the aptly named Rest and Relaxation cabin near Helen, Georgia. We first came to this area in 1989, when our kids were little, and have been back numerous times since. Ben was four…

Continue reading →: Good Food, Bad Timing
Primavera means spring in Italian, and the word conjures up images of green grass, trees leafing out, bright flowers, and warm days with cool nights. It’s the perfect sort of weather for pasta primavera or its risotto version—plenty of fresh, green vegetables in a creamy sauce over pasta, or those…

Continue reading →: Good Knives, and Good Luck
I had thought about titling this “knives out,” because I love those movies, but I thought I’d pay homage to George Clooney’s stage version of “Good Night and Good Luck” that aired on CNN last month. If you missed it, it’s definitely worth your while to find it watch it.…

Some days I just take small liberties with a recipe. Occasionally, I’ll follow a recipe exactly. Then there are those times when the written recipe is not much more than the inspiration for the final result. Sunday was one of those days. It didn’t start out that way. I’ve made…

I admit that I don’t know much about Peruvian cuisine. Although Ken has eaten at a Peruvian restaurant in Lake Worth a number of times, I’ve never been there. The restaurant is in the regular rotation of places that the men’s group Ken is part of eats lunch every other…

I’d intended to write one more time about our meals onboard the Vikings Aegir, but I hadn’t found the time. Then Mike, who writes the wonderful blog Next Eleven Years, and who I am sure is the all-time master of eggs Benedict, posted about his latest Bennie, and I knew…

Continue reading →: The Best Laid Plans
I’m a planner. I don’t really like to let things go until the last minute. In cooking terms, that means weekly menu planning and shopping with a grocery list created from that menu. Sometimes we’ll leave an “open” night on the menu, but it’s rare that I don’t have a…

Continue reading →: A Requested Recipe
I admit it, I’m flattered when someone eats a dish I’ve made and asks for the recipe. That was the case yesterday. We had a potluck picnic to celebrate the Fourth of July, and I signed up to bring a pasta salad. It was a great party. I was more…

I mentioned in the title of my previous post that the Danube isn’t blue. The color blue is associated with the river because of the title to Johann Strauss’ famous waltz, On the Beautiful Blue Danube, which was taken from a line in a poem. The water color depends on…
