Anything else I think you should try.
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…
The Peaches are here, the peaches are here!! I’ve been waiting for 3 years for this little tree to have an actual harvest. All I can say is be careful what you wish for. Last year I got two or three little tasty peaches. Remember when I remarked about how pretty the blossoms were? They […] Read more…
One of my favorite restaurants around here is Cody’s RoadHouse. Yummy steaks, huge salads, great prices – I don’t ever remember being unhappy with them. One thing that makes me really happy is getting my favorite meal as a carry-out. A ginormous salad, with fajita meat, and those rolls ! Mmm, they’re basically dessert for […] Read more…
Ahhh, Summertime – time for picnic, beach and football food….mmmmm. Yet another weekend is on it’s way. Southern menus include Pulled Pork Sandwiches, yummy, ugh nooooo – You’ve seen those greasy cousins of the gut bomb that the men inhale! Sure they taste good, all that fat laden pork swimming in a sea of bar-b-que sauce […] Read more…
We’ve got a respite for the summer from the chocolate-covered-holidays! Time to clean up our act a bit. These days there’s a huge surge in gluten-free living. So many people have an aversion to gluten, and the symptoms so awful, that even normal folks are tapping in. Even my Mom’s into it, and she’s got […] Read more…
OK, Boys N’ Girls it’s your old pal Mr. Wizard….(Ouch, I’m really dating myself – and not in a good way). Today we’re making household cleaners….No, not like Breaking Bad! Pay attention dammit! 🙂 The other day I told you about how I clean a monumental amount of blueberries, well here’s what I used…I have […] Read more…
It’s summer – the temp says 85 degrees…liar! It’s more like 95 degrees! Another thing that temperature gauge means is that it’s Fresh Corn Season. And not just any corn, Florida Corn. My favorite specialty veggie vendors have been closed all winter and spring getting ready for May and the annual Fraizer Corn Opening Day. […] Read more…
Several days ago I put up a post for Beef Shank Ragu. I had modified the recipe slightly to make it more like the ‘Ox Tail Ragu’ I had eaten at the Bar Corvo restaurant in Brooklyn. (oh, look I found a photo) I had served mine over polenta, which was easy for me…like Italian […] Read more…
Alright Mermaid Weekend is over – that ‘diet starts Monday’ attitude has got to go. Besides, that was like 2 Mondays ago! It’s time to get healthy. Can I crave chocolate and still get healthy? It seems I’m not the only person with this question. I got an email from my favorite online health food […] Read more…
