Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

It's easy! I have never liked spaghetti sauce from a jar and have prided myself in making it from my mother's recipe (from a box of Mueller's) - which called for cans of tomato and tomato paste. The only time... Continue reading

Fixing grits

Home fries, grits, or hashbrowns? For me, it’s always grits and always will be – even though I like home fries a little better. The reason for this came home to me a few months ago when I was ordering... Continue reading

Over the last couple years, several graduating students have asked me for a "bucket list" of things to do in Gainesville before they leave. There are a few of these floating around - most very University of Florida specific. Here's... Continue reading

Side of fries

Last week's café served up black-eyed peas and rice with greens and a side of fries. We have roasted veggies before, cutting them in the traditional french fry shape that disguised (maybe) the fact that it was actually a turnip... Continue reading

Yes! It is definitely high time to simplify. I have been going through the same thing, figuring out which rituals to keep and which to jettison based on which children will be home which day. I may adopt two of your Christmas customs - Christmas dinner the day after Christmas and alcohol for breakfast. Why didn't I think of that??

I know you are reading this poem late, before leaving your office of the one intense yellow lamp-spot and the darkening window in the lassitude of a building faded to quiet long after rush-hour. I know you are reading this... Continue reading
