I was at my monthly book club meeting today. (Don’t ask about the book….)
We were discussing food. Sometimes, it seems like every group of people I find myself in ends up discussing food. Perhaps I’m the common element in it all….
I digress.
It started with coffee – and whether or not anyone wanted milk. The woman sitting next … Continue reading.....
This is a re-post – although I made it for us just last week.
We’re rather fond of this dish…..
As I am ‘not feeling 100%’ as the Brit’s would say I decided to do an easy recipe.
Shrimp with a Greek flavor: tomatoes, dry or salt-cured black olives and finished with Feta cheese.
The feta I get is sheep’s … Continue reading.....
This is my answer to the much more decadent Fettuccini Alfredo and a variation on Spaghetti Carbonara.
Leeks are best in this, as they are mild, but you could substitute 2 onions, just sauté them until very tender and starting to brown.
The trick to this is to time the pasta so that it’s ready to drain when the leeks … Continue reading.....
Do you like Ramen?

I love noodles and pasta of every size, shape or nationality (including Ramen)
This is also a re-post, the original having been done years ago (as usual) but, as we have been eating a lot of meatballs lately I decided to do a short series of meatball posts.

Plus I can justify eating more meatballs and that’s always a good thing.
About the meatballs…. I have discovered that If I put the whole lot on a plate, … Continue reading.....
More yellow tomatoes anyone?
Actually, it’s not the yellow ones that are doing so well at the moment; it’s the ‘Ananas’.
Ananas is the French word for pineapple so I have no idea how it got to be the name of a popular tomato here.
It’s a very large tomato, like a BeefSteak, that is yellow and orange on the … Continue reading.....
We went from summer to fall in a day.
The weather is cool, the morning are wet and foggy and mon mari is contemplating lighting a fire in the evening.
So that means I have only a short time to make all the summer foods I haven’t done yet.
I made Fried Green Tomatoes last night, this pasta with fresh … Continue reading.....
Shrimp with the flavors of the Mediterranean: tomatoes, peppers, Greek olives, and feta cheese on spaghetti
It made me happy..
As usual, make is as hot as you like but with all of these flavors, even mon mari was happy without any added heat.
Although he did note that we needed to make a run to the big Asian supermarket … Continue reading.....
