Okay- a friend and I were talking... he confided in me that he always keeps a few fancy/expensive bottles of wine in his kitchen even though he doesn't drink it. He says he keeps them simply to attract & impress girls! Another friend has simple (okay- JUVENILE) tastes but she always stocks what...

Snowball I made myself a snowball, as perfect as could be. I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me. I made it some pajamas And a pillow for it's head. Then last night it ran away, but first, it wet the bed.' Shel Silverstein

Back in 1745, when Hannah Glasse wrote her iconic 'The Art of Cookery Made Plain And Simple', she included the following: To make a Yorkshire Christmas Pie... First make a good standing crust let the wall and bottom be very thick; bone a turkey, a goose, a fowl, a partridge, and a...

I'm no different than anyone- we're all the same. I'm a fairly private man and don't necessarily air personal stuff in public places- unless it just naturally kinda comes up in conversation. And even then I have always been the tactful sort. Polite. Appropriate. Respectful. That said- I'm no...

I thought this was really cute! :) The Goose of Christmas Past by David Leite | Leite's Culinaria

Dear former co-workers sent a couple of "hot" new music cd's in their Christmas cards, this week! First, Jen & Kurt sent me Susan's Boyle's cd. I loved her appearances on Britain's Got Talent and LOVED the whole "ugly duckling/singing swan" thang. The cd is pretty good- I can't say that it's...

Hey guys... I want to used crushed peppermint disc candies for some things as Christmas draws near. Only trouble is- the canides I've gotten are so hard I'm having troble crushing them properly. It seems either the pieces remain too big to do much with- or they pulverize into powdery dust, with...

Hello Dear Friends... I've had to leave several quick messages like this these last few months, it seems. Life isn't easy and simple now as it once was. All is good- just filled w/ other things too... namely time consuming family drama. And some work stuff that has me bouncing about and...

Wow! Did You See/Hear Martha S. on Rachel R.? On Joy Behar's show a panel watched an interview w/ Martha on a ABC's Nightline... Martha kinda slams Rachel! I could hardly believe my ears! While not being mean about it, per se- Martha said essentially (not verbatum) Well, Rachel cannot bake and...

entries at 'TheFamiliaKitchen' on the meatball, etc.! I have to limit the number of websites I access at work so I'm unable to visit as often as I wish I could. But when I do visit I stay a while and catch-up w/ everything you've contributed since last time I was there- and I have a ball every...

I admit that I like to go all out when entertaining. Including appetizers. But if ever there was a meal all year long that didn't really require ahead-of-time nibblers, it would be Thanksgiving! It just seems there are always SO MANY LEFTOVERS- and the apps just add to them. Sometimes it seems...

...but I am absolutely ADDICTED to this song and video right now! Please give it a watch/listen and see if you aren't, too! The beautiful girl who leads this group is the daughter of Linda Davis- who country fans may remember was one of Reba's back-up singers for many years- actually, she did...

Check this out! :) Snowy Village Cakelet Pan | Williams-Sonoma

Oven-space in my modest condo kitchen will be an issue later this month for a pre-Thanksgiving meal I’m doing for a group of buds, so to work around that I’m making a few of the “Pumpkin Icebox Pies” from Martha’s November “Everyday Food”- page # 129. This recipe doesn’t rely on custard for its...

A friend recently made a Bisquick "Frito Pie"- which reminded me of something that I just have to share- and w/ the holidays drawing near, the timing is perfect! Are any of you familiar w/ the hilariously funny Broadway show “Greater Tuna” from a few years back? The Home of Greater Tuna...
