It seems like a looong time since I've cooked a family meal, but Sunday was an excellent time to jump back into things. How about those storms?

Last week Price … Continue reading Sunday Supper!

Memorial Day Party Food
I don't know how you cook, but for me it is a little like writing. I take an idea or thought and let it germinate... fester... ferment. I try to consider what I have available, who I am cooking for and what the occasion is. For this weekend's party, I also needed to prepare something … Continue reading Memorial Day Party Food
I Pandered to the Vegetarians and Other Confessions and Observations from a Neighborhood Potluck

Since it was Tom's night off, we attempted family dinner … Continue reading Mac n Cheese
