Back in the Kitchen Again
After many months of planning, eating out of the microwave and walking around the refrigerator in the living room, we are fully moved in to our new kitchen. Whew! Not an experience I want to have again any time soon, but not altogether horrible. We did eat out more than normal... I unpacked a lot of boxes while moving back to the kitchen. Many of them had been sealed up since we packed them back over a year ago and several states away. It was like my birthday and Christmas in one as I uncovered favorite platters, treasured cookbooks, and... Continue reading

Kitchen reno? Make it work!
Some days, the one thing better than going places and eating things is staying home and cooking a favorite meal or experimenting with a new recipe. This feeling always seems to hit me in the first crisp days of late summer and early autumn, and this year is no exception. But even though I've cooked in kitchens large and small, old and new over the years, the kitchen I have now just isn't working for me. So it looks like we're in for a season of go places and eat things - and remembering kitchens and meals past - as... Continue reading

iPad induced memories of a centuries-old city
I was checking out the offerings served up this morning on my Zite Personalized Magazine app for the iPad and found this lovely article about Bologna, Italy in the New York Times. It had me pushing aside a few years worth of mental clutter to uncover the Wayback Machine. In I hopped and soon I was transported back a few years and several centuries, ambling along covered walkways, making my way to Piazza Maggiore, where I sat, sipping wine in the spreading shade of a springtime afternoon. There are photos, somewhere, in a box that is in storage at the... Continue reading

Other People's Pantries #155
From Tiffany (Sew Scrappy), in Oceanside, California: As you can see, I tend to use my pantry not only to house the large amounts of food that my family of 6 goes through, but also a catch-all for many other things (candles, paper goods, Wilton cake pans, etc). Just out of sight on the left wa...

Post Lost and Found
Here's a post I wrote at the beginning of the year that got lost on my desktop. Time for a little cleanup there, I guess. Happy as a clam? We went with friends to a local seafood restaurant for dinner on New Year’s Eve. As I studied the menu, which included lobster and oysters and New England clam chowder, it struck me that I don’t know beans about fish and seafood. Growing up in Illinois, the fish we ate most often was breaded cod in stick form and tuna from a can. As an adult, I ordered shrimp and calamari... Continue reading
