I was such a lady….  On June 11, Henry Wise Wood Senior High, Class of ’85 is having its reunion. Am I going? Nah. I already keep in touch with the people who have remained my friends over the past 25 years. You may remember my blog entry of March 27, 2010 when I took…

For those familiar with my blog, or more for those people who know me quite well, here’s a rare image. A salad. Made of vegetables. Let me introduce you to a Katchoomber Salad. You must read about it and get the recipe at Cookbook Cooks as I did this very morning. I’m always looking for…

First, a welcome to Miami Culinary Tours to Walsh Cooks, and a warm hug to all my Followers, public,  anonymous, or just passing through. If I could, I would give each of you a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie, just out of the oven. But you are stuck with a picture. You will remain thin. I…

This is my Mom: The event included admission to the garden, a seating time in their Pine Pavillion, table service that included your choice of tea or coffee, followed by a split scone filled with cream…

For Valerie of, A Canadian Foodie, and anyone else that might be interested in my Bolognese sauce mentioned in my interview with Sharon from Only Here For the Food, here it is: If you click the image, it will increase in size (said the bishop to the actress), but in case not, here it is…

We had plans for today, but they didn’t pan out, so were left with a surprise “free” day. We weren’t all that sure what to do with ourselves.
