Did Clay's "Y'all" t-shirt make people wonder if you were visitors from Texas? :)
The Best Things We Drank in Spain
What, you thought we drank water with all of that great food? Vermouth We've never given much thought to vermouth. For us, it's mostly just that thing you put in a Manhattan. The idea of actually drinking vermouth just never really occurred to us. But we became obsessed with it in Spai...
I am so enjoying your book cover series! It has made me want to pull my copies off the shelf and re-read. I A-D-O-R-E the photo of you in disguise! I wouldn't have recognized you either!!
Covers III
Thanks everybody, for your comments on Comfort me with Apples. I have to admit that when I started reading comments on Amazon like, "I wouldn't want my children to know this woman," I was taken aback. But then the sixties, seventies, pre-Aids world was a very different place. On to Garlic and ...
Oh-My-Word! I know what I'm having when I get home tonight! The added horseradish is what put it over the top for me.
Great, Easy Appetizer to Please a Crowd
Poor Man’s Tarte Flambée This was a big favorite at Gourmet, but around our house it’s known as “Robert’s Cheese Toast” because my friend Robert likes it so much. The truth is, everybody I know loves this old-fashioned American classic, and no matter how much I make, it vanishes in a flash. Whic...
These Time-Life books are treasures! I've learned how to make so many new things when they came out! I remember "wowing" my friends with a dinner out of the China book!
Meatballs for a New Year

Excellent, excellent product!
2014 Gift Guide: Day Six
A Wood for the Wise People who obsess about barbecue are in a class by themselves. Blessed with patience, they spend endless hours standing by slow fires, waiting for meat to soak up the fine scent of smoke. They worry about every detail along the way, but their two main concerns are meat...
Mmmm, summer just isn't summer without fried okra and this version sounds wonderful!!
Smashed Okra
A Bitten Word Recipe We just returned from four days in Tennessee, visiting Zach's family. We had a great time! We rented kayaks and spent a lazy day on a (very mild) river. We toured the George Dickel whisky distillery in Zach's hometown and had a lot of great down-time just catching up with ...
Whoa! How'd you guys swing that?!? What a wonderful experience. I realize one is not supposed to covet, but those kitchens look like they might be covet worthy!!
Our Test Kitchen Tour
As you might remember, visiting a food magazine test kitchen is something that's been on our list of Culinary Resolutions for two years now. Last Friday, we finally had the opportunity to make that resolution a reality. Where'd we go? We'll let this photo do to talking: Yep! We were fortunate...
I think Avis was reciting my dream meal.
A Perfect Meal
“I also stubbornly maintain that the only real way to cook lobsters is in three or four inches of sea water, in a covered kettle, for about twelve minutes (pound and a quarter lobsters being the ideal size). You then drape these dazzling creatures over the rocks until they cool off a bit, tear ...
