Technically, it’s already spring here. But we had a cool, rainy day on Tuesday, and it seemed we could do with some comfort food anyway, so I whipped up one of my favorites. My butcher used to always have Black & Blue Meatloaf in the case. It was delicious. For some reason, probably not enough…

Kale with Golden Gooseberries
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” — Albert Einstein “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Thomas Edison In most aspects of my life, I’m an inveterate rule-follower. That’s mostly good, I’d always thought, as long as it’s not carried to extremes (yes, I’ve…
Muffuletta Chicken With Pasta & Beans
Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I was in the store (Trader Joe’s, I think) and saw a lonely jar of muffuletta, the last one on the shelf. I knew I’d heard of it, but didn’t remember where or how. Nor did I remember what it was for or how people usually use it. But it…

There’s one place that’s reliable more often than not, but it’s pretty far from my house in a direction…

Less than two weeks from now, Georgia (USA) farmers will start harvesting these magnificent treasures. Yes, there are other sweet onions in the world. Yes,…
Sourcream Coffeecake
Happy National Coffeecake Day! It seems like we have national days for just about everything here in the USA. It’s also National Beer Day, but I’d rather talk about Coffeecake. I know my mom had a recipe for Sour Cream Coffeecake, but I don’t know where it went. I remember not liking it all that much…
Deviled Eggs
Whether you’re looking forward to picnic season, squeezing in one more picnic before the season is over, have leftover Hard-Cooked Eggs from Easter, or just plain want a treat, Deviled Eggs are fun to make and even better to eat. It seems like every family has its own version of deviled eggs, and they’re all wildly…
