Current situation is sitting on the porch with my husband and dog. The husband is watching some YouTube video on how to do something he needs to do for work. (update – he was actually watching how to install heads on my Mustang- totally unnecessary) The dog is mad that we are not throwing is his tennis balls so he is destroying a stick that … Continue reading Citrus Cake
Current situation is me sitting in a chair in my bay window listening to my husband, daughter, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law chatting around the island drinking coffee and eating breakfast. There are a few others that haven’t come down yet and I guess last nights dinner party was a little too much for my father-in-law; he stayed home in bed this morning. Everyone is here … Continue reading Custard Tarts – Portuguese Pasteis de nata
Not sure what happened but I set this up to post on Sunday at 9 am and it didn’t. One of my loyal fans LOL just asked what the bleep happened. So I am throwing it out there now. I can’t tell you the last time I made a pan of brownies; ya it’s been that long. I do miss a good brownie but I … Continue reading Fudge Topped Brownies
I have mentioned a couple ok maybe a few times about World Wide Wednesday. What is WWW? Where did it come from? Why is she still talking about it? My daughter started it with her expat friends when she was in Japan several years ago. When she came home she finished out the year with us. She would make a meal one day a week … Continue reading Rugelach Cookies – World Wide Wednesday
I hope your Thanksgiving was everything you expected. We had a wonderful meal pretty much right on time and per usual I only forgot one thing, we were putting all the sides into serving bowls when my daughter asked where the peas were? Oops I guess it was the peas this year. I seem to forget something that I had planned every year. One year … Continue reading Christmas Sugar Cookie
So yesterday morning I slept in to around 7; I know is that really sleeping in; Not for most but for me it’s pretty good. I came down to the oven on, a large cookbook on the counter and too many dishes in the sink? My husband was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee and the dog watching the news. I asked … Continue reading Rich’s Banana Nut Bread
We had a house full last weekend and what was super odd for me was I didn’t have anything planned. I always have at the very least meals planned and always food on hand. This time around I was clueless. I have been working around 50 hours a week for over a month now and I am completely spent. Everything came together and we had … Continue reading Biscuit bread pudding
I am curious how many people that took up gardening last year because of Covid are still gardening this year? I do know that my local gardening store was a little more prepared for it this year; unlike last year when they were out of just about everything. We have had some sort of a garden for well over 30 years now and it … Continue reading XL Zucchini go-to’s – lemon zucchini tea cake and zucchini bread
Last night I was watching the last season of The Great British Baking show and the task was to make 2 different flavor profile quiche. I know this might come as a shock but I have never made quiche before; I know what is my damage. Honestly I haven’t really had any that blew my skirt up; if you get my drift. They have been … Continue reading Ham, Broccoli and the Cheesiest Quiche
There’s nothing like a Spring snow storm to cover up all the mud and brown grass. It is a good thing that daffodils and crocuses can handle the crazy weather we have here in New England. I does amaze me that some people forget how to drive in snow, seriously it wasn’t that long ago how quickly they forget that it’s slippery out there and … Continue reading Oatmeal white chip craisin and pistachio cookies
