Of all the wonderful foods in the lunch buffet at the Asian supermarket, there is still one thing missing in the opinion of mon mari: Chinese Barbecued Chicken Wings. It was our anniversary last week. I bought him a big box of chicken wings. He was thrilled…. And immediately went online in search of a recipe for Oyster Wings. Apparently, Oyster Wings were his favorite at the Chinese buffet he … Continue reading →
I was very politely asked if I would be willing to post a recipe and blurb promoting a weekly recipe newsletter…. Yes, it is a bit of a conflict since I have a site, Thyme for Cooking, that does weekly menu plans… But I rather liked the recipe and I figure the internet is a pretty big place – lots of room for everyone.

I had done the prep work, organized my thoughts, downloaded the … Continue reading →
A long time ago, in a place far, far away, I was married for a very short time. My first inkling that the union was doomed was when we had a fight about me putting rice in the meatballs (known as Porcupine Balls – very good, actually, I should make them sometime). It seems he didn't like rice. It seems he neglected to tell me that. No one in my … Continue reading →
When we lived in Andorra, one of our favorite day trips was to La Bisbal d’Empordà on the Costa Brava, Spain, to buy pottery. When we lived in the US we went to Tubac, AZ (once) to buy pottery. We love pottery. What I love about all of our pottery, and all pottery, is how unique it is. Unique to the artist and / or the region and / or … Continue reading →
