Who'd have a mind to disagree?  I've travelled the world and the seven seas.  Everybody's looking for something.....  Oh, excuse me.  I just got caught up in the song!  If you are too young or just can't remember it - Here it is!  Just notice  that I change the words to suit myself lol! This cake is definitely a dream.  A super rich, decadent dream.  Thank goodness for friends and neighbors, because I really should not eat the whole thing without worrying about getting diabetes.  A super special treat is in order sometimes and this hit the spot ..read more

Okay, you guys.  We are still going strong on this $20 ham we bought for our New Year's Day dinner.  So let's go through what we've made with it.

What came of it is possible the best chops of my entire life!  I love these chops!  The sauce tastes good on potatoes.  I'm willing to bet it would taste good on all kinds of vegetables.  I'm even willing to bet that people who "poo poo" mustard will take a liking to these chops! If you tr ..read more

I used to hear stories about my grandmother getting together with her friend once a month and making 20 loaves of bread not to mention doughnuts and buns and rolls.  Can you imagine?  A whole day devoted to breadmaking and friendship building?  I have my grandmother's recipe for this monthly ordeal, but I have yet to find the friend that wants to spend all day doing it! Several years ago, I heard about this book called Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff Hertzberg, M.D. and Zoe Francois.  It is still available on Amazon if your are interested!  This book make m ..read more
