Who doesn’t love Nigella Lawson? And who doesn’t love egg yolks, cream, butter, lemon, parmesan, and pasta? Okay, maybe you don’t, but I do, and this is my blog, and this post is dedicated to Nigella’s Lemon Linguine recipe. It’s quick. Easy. Delicious. And impresses the pants off my husband. If you are invited to…
Tea in Space Space Space (echo)
Hm. As you know, I have been amused more than once by what people Google and end up visiting my blog. Today’s funny is from someone who searched for “earl-grey tea on the space station mir”. Just by chance I mentioned something about Astronauts and Space Station, and I get the hit. Let’s discuss. The…
Chickpeas and a Salad
Some days, nothing will cheer me up after a Crappy Day at Work except a stiff G & T, a hug from Michael, a long phone call with my sister, followed by a spicy chickpea dish served along side a refreshing salad. Today is one of those days. Let me share my recipe for happiness….
Green Grapes
While my Mom and her consort, Ed, are cruising in the Mediterranean, not worrying about the price of grapes, I thought I would fill my Mom’s shoes and call you all excitedly, as she would, and point out that green grapes are on special at Safeway for $1.00 a pound. Of course, this could be…
Tres Carnales
Up until today, my exposure to Mexico, Mexican people and Mexican food, has been, in order: 1. Speedy Gonzales2. Tijuana Brass (The link plays music. You’ve been warned). 3. Visiting Tijuana by car, our 1974 Ford Station Wagon, my sister and I rolling around like loose golf balls in the back of the car on…
Philly
Day 2 began with me finding a place to return a book I “borrowed” from the Morris House Hotel one year ago. Last year Michael and I had a historical room with ancient books lining the walls. I pulled Irvine Stones “the Immortal Wife” thinking the title was “Immoral Wife” and it took me 3/4…
Talulah’s Garden
I’m in Philadelphia and although only my second visit it is feeling homey and familiar. Had to give the cab driver directions to my hotel. Arrived at suppertime and thought I’d eat at M’s which is adjacent to and owned by my hotel, The Morris House Hotel. But they were full. Much like a post…
Tomatoes
This is a bowl of cherry tomatoes from Mom’s garden. These tiny red jewels explode with flavor. This truly is the best time of year for fresh locally grown food.
Picnic!!!!!!!!
It’s 30C outside. It’s September 8. Winter’s-a-coming!! It’s been a not-so-great summer, but it’s here. Right now. Talked to a decidedly “weird” husband today who seemed to bouncing off the walls, and thought, “Lawn bowling, or anywhere public where he has to deal with people in close quarters is NOT the right thing to do…
