Happy February 29th, all! I hope you do something special to mark the quadrennial occasion. Personally, I will be going to my wax appointment, taking a much needed trip to the grocery store, washing my hair, and curling up to read some more of The Lotus Eaters. Yes, sometimes that’s my version of celebrating. Today [...]

Gung hay fat choy! Yes, it’s a day late, but I was busy yesterday. I hosted my 6th Annual Lunar New Year Dinner, with my largest turnout yes! Into the double digits, I was reminded that although my place is small, I have the most awesome of friends since they don’t even seem to notice. [...]

At an intimate gathering on Black Friday, a small group set out to make Gingerbread Houses… to create magnificent architectural structures suitable for seasonal display. It’s sad to say that this small, intimate group if not the craftiest bunch in the world. The construction of the gingerbread homes lacked a certain something, and the end [...]

I actually had quite a few ideas for the mystery dish this time around. After the success of the Bacon Chutney, the pressure is off to make something folks will actually eat. It’s still fun to try a new dish. My mom and aunt both tried it and thought it was good; I thought it [...]

I made it through Lent – no meat. I sustained myself on a crap-ton (literally) of beans, grains, fruits & vegetables, and a bit of rice and pasta. I learned that I am not a fan of meat/protein substitutes. I don’t need tempeh or tofu or fake bacon, I’d rather have a deliciously prepared dish [...]

I did it!! I won them over with BACON. Not everyone, since my father refuses to try anything new and only eats turkey, dressing, and gravy at our massive holiday feasts. Christmas is a bit easier, since we have cocktails and appetizers downstairs while unwrapping gifts, then we head upstairs for dinner. That means if [...]

This year I had grand plans for making home baked goodies for people. They’d be presented with a large basket full of goodness made with love. So much for that. In reality I barely had time to make anything, but the three I did make turned out pretty good! Definite keepers are Maple Walnut Spice [...]

If you celebrate it, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was fantastic. I’ve been told that eating black-eye peas on the first day of the new year will bring you luck for said year. This was going to be a Mystery Dish for one of our holiday dinners, but I had to share with [...]

My friend and realtor Carrie held a Customer Appreciation Breakfast this past weekend, complete with a visit from Santa! I invited Mir & Oseia as my guests, and my friends Amber and Tricia were there with their kids, too! I haven’t seen them for awhile, and it was a great visit. None of the kids liked Santa. [...]
