TGIF….yep, it is Friday and a day when most…well, some people go out to dinner to celebrate the end of the work week….but then many go more for that laid back easy meal such as take-out or pizza delivery. OR, if you are like the Captain and I…we like to hang out at home especially…
Knock! Knock! Who’s There? Well, my dear readers, this is not a Knock Knock joke. This is the kind of “Knock Knock” that comes to your door that you can not refuse answering…… or at least, I choose not to refuse. Actually, the knock didn’t come directly to my door, but through the many miles…
“Curiouser and Curiouser!”…..“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” Good Morning dear readers…..and you willl most likely recognize the quotes above as being from Lewis Carrol’s “Alice in Wonderland”!, Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland This beautiful morning in sunny Florida has me hopping around like that silly white rabbit….although some of…
Avocado and Tomato Salad! The Captain and I entertained out of state guests this week-end. And we managed to get a visit in to a Farmers Market. I love fresh produce and you can’t get much fresher than from a market right on the property owners land. I picked up some garlic and green onions…
Chipotle Adobo Chile! When I lived in New Mexico, I learned how to make so many really flavorful dishes! I thought I liked and could eat “spicy hot” foods…. but I have to confess that the foods I thought were spicy hot…were really quite mild. When the Captain and I go to a Mexican restaurant,…
Now before you turn away at the thought of No Meat Chili…please just hear me out! We all know that we our diets could use a little refinement… I am a meat and potatoes person and so is the Captain. However, once a week I try to include a meatless meal on our menu. But…
Pico de Gallo….such a simple combination of flavors of items you most likely have in your pantry. If I am having any kind of Mexican food….you can be sure there will be pico de gallo sitting on the side to add to any dish. I love it sprinkled on the top of enchiladas, tamales, chimachangas,…
Salsa Anyone? My Dancing Friend Across The Pond just visited the Captain and I for a lovely 12 days! She Arrived on the 20th of September and flew off to London on the afternoon of the 1st of October! I am sure if she is reading this post….she will assume I will be discussing…
Escabosa Black Bean and Avocado Salad! Wow! this is a great salad. While living in New Mexico, we had many chuck wagon meals when branding time rolled around. Each brother, uncle, cousin and all their children would rally around when it was time to round up, brand and give shots to all the Spring calves….
Once, A Long Time Ago…in a Galaxy far, far away… Ok…Texas is not in a Galaxy far, far away….but it did provide me with a wonderful cold soup recipe, called Gazpacho! Gazpacho! A fresh tasting cold soup, so perfect for anytime, but Spring and Summer time are my choices. There is a story behind this…
Remember the game One potato, two potato, three potato four? I always think of that little “diddy” when I visit our Farmers Market every Saturday morning! I am not sure what your weather is like where you are…or if you have fresh vegetable markets to go to this time of year… So, I invite you…
My Grandmother loved Tomatoes and I used to help her can all her veggies from the garden. I was so glad for the experience as I turned to canning after I got married. Grandma made her breaded tomatoes with a bit of sugar and I found out when I started making them…the sugar is necessary…
