Have you wandered downriver yet to visit the International Wildlife Refuge? It is the perfect place to reconnect to nature. Their hours can be found here. You can launch your kayake or canoe at this site to the right. You can walk the pier and go fishing. You can stand inside an actual eagle’s next! They …
This was a pretty interesting weekend. John and I joined some friends (both named Cathy/Kathy!) to take in the last day of the Sherlock Holmes play at the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea. If you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan, it was excellent. John is not, but caught plenty of zzzzz’s especially after a round of …

I love this salad from my eldest sister. I don’t know where she got the recipe from but what I do know is that the people in a certain area of Texas won’t even TRY it and two sheet pans full that I made for a wedding reception there went to the wild hogs out …
When we first got married, we moved into a townhouse right by my Aunt Rosie and Uncle Jim. Johnny thanks God just about every day for that because she helped me along in my culinary education. I could tell I got this recipe from her because she loved her Maggi! Over the years, I’ve left …
I was invited to Karen’s daughter’s bridal shower at Karen’s home, where my first encounter with this salad occurred. I was not a fan of raw broccoli but I gave it a small taste. I was amazed. I have since made this at least 50 times and my extended family always asks me to bring …
Another one of Sirri’s hors d’oeurves made for the Palm Beach crowd. These were pretty good but messy (although the card does not back me up on that) but they were not a frequent flyer for me. Maybe you’ll have a better future with this recipe than I!
