Yesterday, I posted that I’d taken a tasty treat as an offering to the Mermaids, as they once again were kind enough to include me in their trek to the River. Their little park, that they share with a few other ‘members’, is just a slice of heaven! Normally, I’d bring a salad of some […] Read more…
The Summer Solstice means that the retired Mermaids are called to The River once again for a semi-annual meeting…and drinking and eating, to enjoy the longest day of the year. Since I was invited, I thought I’d post some pics. Why would they call it Gum Slough Day ?? Well, that’s a funny story – […] Read more…
Diets Hate Pizza. They just do – there’s nothing un-fattening about a pizza. What’s one of the big advertising catch phrases for those expensive ‘diet plans’ “…and you can eat pizza!…” What ‘they’ don’t tell you is that it’s a pizza-like-item made up of a saltine crust that’s only slightly larger than an english muffin, […] Read more…
Last evening we had a dinner guest who could use a little help getting to know her way around a kitchen. I’m pretty good behind the stove, so I’ve volunteered to show her around. Probably, one of the easiest thing there is to make is a brownie…and one of the most delicious! It’s a great […] Read more…
Now that all the peaches are off the tree, I’ll soon run out of them. And I’ll have to find something else to post recipes about! But before that ends, I’ve got one more. You know I like to put food in jars (I also like that blog too!) and these little gems need to be […] Read more…
The other day I found myself back at our local farm-stand, Frazier Farms. This time it wasn’t just corn I was after. I’d gotten an email that they had Conch Peas! Fresh conch peas are a Southern specialty and very hard to come by. They’re delicate and only available fresh for a short time each […] Read more…
Once again my magazines have gotten me into trouble – well, maybe not trouble…, in one of my old Food & Wine issues (Jan’14), I stumbled over an interesting ingredient. I can’t resist a recipe labeled ‘Creamed Spinach transformed by Magic Salt’. OK, you got me – magic salt !? This is something that, after […] Read more…
Years ago I fell in love with a drink. Not just any drink, the ubiquitous ‘Cherry-Limeade’ at Sonic. I knew from the first sip, I was done for! I could go there get a treat for my son and my own liquid candy bar with a straw. Only once did I venture into the realm […] Read more…
You might have heard that there’s a prodigious peach tree in my yard. I’ve had to find lots of various things to do with the fruit. This past weekend I made the fastest frozen treat ever. Well, I did start with peaches that I’d frozen earlier. Not knowing what I’d need, I took a bunch, […] Read more…
Summer is here, and it’s time for some summer libation ! One of my recent loves is Limoncello. It’s just so good. Add it to iced tea for your best ‘Arnold Palmer’ ever! My brand of choice is just sweet enough, but not gooey sweet – some can be like a ‘lemon schnapps’ – yuck! […] Read more…
