So it’s been a while since I’ve posted. DH and I have been traveling quite a bit, first on our vacation and then bravely with 4 grandsons in crazy hot weather. Every time we stepped into the apartment rental we all said, “AAAAHHHHH” when the air conditioning hit. But they were more fun than a […]
DH and I were in London not long ago, at a restaurant having a salt beef (corned beef) platter which came with soft light rye bread. Now at first, I debated having the bread, there was plenty of meat to split with hubby but it looked and smelled so delish (there’s a bakery right next […]
It’s plum season with a vengeance here, and I was thinking of making a plum kuchen like my grandma used to make but just wasn’t in the mood for a yeast cake. So I scrolled hither and yon and up popped (like a kajillion times) the NYT Marian Burros’ recipe. I liked it more or […]

Ahh brownies. They are one of the most basic food groups in life. I first posted this in 2019 and have updated and revamped the post both for clarity and streamlining purposes. Onward!And wars you say? Yes, I keep expecting people to pop up in chain mail with swords in hand and I promise you, […]
Nadine is a dear friend who works in our office and from time to time, she and I (and others as well) bring in leftover goodies (or occasionally fresh baked specifically for the office people) to nosh on. The other day I spied a rather fluffy looking cake in the kitchen and went hmmmm. So […]
As I’ve previously mentioned, I have been reviewing my older posts (this is from 2018) and updating them. This is an oldie but one of my more popular salads in my recipe rotation.
