You may or may not have noticed but I took a break from posting to Poetry Friday last month. We moved in June, were settling in during July, and I started writing on Medium in August. I needed some change and I got it. But one of the most fantastic things I did in August…
It’s August 1st! How the heck did that happen? It’s been a busy six months! In February we decided to put our home of 16 years up for sale but wait until spring to do it. In the meantime, we started cleaning out. When we met with realtors, we decided on listing the first week…
We’re moving … in three days. Three days is all we’ve got to finish getting out of our house! Yesterday I started working on the kitchen. I packed some kitchen essentials that went to the lake house already (where we are moving), and they actually got unpacked last Saturday. But, as anyone with a kitchen…
We’ve been watching past seasons of Top Chef, all in order. I believe we are almost through the series. For the most part, it’s been enjoyable. A lot of the chefs are likable people and some of the food they make is amazing! We get tired of Padma’s uppitiness but maybe that’s how she’s supposed…
As I’ve mentioned before, my husband and I are trying to eat fish (not fried) at least once a week. Mostly, this has been salmon, a fish newer to us than some white fish such as haddock, cod, and walleye. I found a recipe calling for halibut but I picked up haddock by mistake when…
It’s foodie Monday and I’m trying two new recipes today. One is a recipe for Coconut Macaroons. I’ve been craving these sweet, decadent treats for a while now. And, the other recipe is for a spicy crockpot chicken. I haven’t gotten to either, yet. So far today, I’ve been cleaning out more of my files…
My husband and spent last week in Buffalo and Brockport New York – in roughly the areas in which we grew up. If you don’t know, the Buffalo area and Western New York, in general, have a great diversity of food. We always look forward to eating when we go back to visit family! Here…
Last week, we had some really good meals. We ate grilled salmon with mustard and brown sugar glaze, beef tacos (not had in a great while), and a few other yummy dishes such as strip steaks. But, the topper was the pork carnitas. I had a weird hankering for these that I think was brought…
We tried a new salad for our Christmas dinner this year. Usually, I make a napa cabbage salad with hot bacon dressing that has been our favorite holiday meal salad for years. We just had it at Thanksgiving and usually serving it is repeated at Christmas. But, I wanted something different. In one of the…
When I blog about food, typically it has been on Mondays. But, Monday gave way to a book review and Tuesday – well, Tuesday, my Mom was on my mind so I wrote about her. But, my plan was to write a food post on Buffalo Chicken Wings on Monday. This Sunday I experimented with…
