I don’t know where to put this - Lee move it if you want. We leave for Portugal two weeks from today. We’ll be gone 16 days. Sooooo excited! I’ll post pics if I remember to take them.

Judy just came out of surgery. The doctor said it all went well. Now I just wait a little longer.....

My first tomato of the year is coming in!

What do y'all do when you're just totally burned out from cooking. I don't think I've cooked more than a small handful of meals in the last 2 or 3 months. Mostly, when I'm done working for the day, we just go out. I really just don't want to cook anymore. I've been cooking and feeding...

I've been posting a few things in beverages and what are you doing today. I thought I'd actually pull it all together into a thread. I'm in wine school - working on a sommelier certificate. I've posted pics of the new fridge and some of the wine flights for classes. If Lee has time and wants...

Lee, I couldn’t find a place for pickling or charcoutrrie. Feel free to move this. I bought a quart of baby cukes and put them up as baby dill pickles. In about a week, they’ll be ready. Since I only work in Small batches, these will be refrigerator pickles. Judy swears that I make the best...

VeraBlue got married this weekend. She and Lou have been together 23 years. It was a Mardi Gras wedding!

A few years ago, Starbucks started the egg bites craze. Now you can get them lots of places for a quick breakfast. You can even buy them frozen at Costco etc. I’ve never been impressed, but I love the idea of them for a quick grab and go breakfast. So this weekend I made my own. Spinach...

Two notes: Corned beef can be very salty. I put mine in a pan of water and bring to a boil. Then dump the water and repeat. Maybe a third time if your brand tends to real salty. You’re not cooking it, just kind of leaching out some of the salt. This is optional (you all know me and know...

This is my mother-in-law's recipe. It's a real Michigan thing. You can find it in the convenience stores and gas stations around the State in big glass crocks. 1 lb Ring Bologna 2 tsp Pickling Spice 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper 12 Bay Leaves 1 tsp Salt 2 cloves Garlic 4 cup White Vinegar 2 cup...
