My friend Darlene Kunitz posted a comment on her Facebook page that a “Victorian kitchen, with cook and scullery maid, had great potential to be a jolly place”. Indeed! I’d never tell Michael this, but when I ask him to find me a pot or to get me a few potatoes from the storage cupboard,…

Walshinara Sauce
We’ve been eating a lot of meat lately. Mm. Meat. Nothing wrong with meat, but some days the old ticker says, “Hey Walsh, take it easy please.” I listen to my body all the time. And I respond in kind. So when it says, “Hey Walsh, you need to eat that Mint Oreo Blizzard”, I…

I’ve come to love the surprises StumbleUpon has given me, and…
Game of Thrones

She is serving food items like sweet baby gherkins (“Tyrion’s Little Pickle”), cheese slices (“Joeffrey’s a Muenster” cheese), crackers (“King Aerys…
Opimian Wine

Michael, meanwhile, has boxes from our move last spring with no where to put them on account of my wine collecting. Michael shakes his head every time we…
Savoury Chicken Couscous
Savoury chicken couscous. It has couscous! You can pretend you are almost Moroccan. Serve this in a tagine, and people might think you really ARE Moroccan. Wouldn’t you be lucky? They have delicious food. This recipe is healthy (at least I think it is, I’m certain I got this from an Anne Lindsay cookbook, and…
