The Goddess has been thinking a bit about Thanksgiving. She has a lot to be thankful for, but packing up the house isn’t high on the list. She’s doing it way too slowly, but it’s going. But, I digress…what else is new? Continue reading

This is one of those totally self-indulgent dishes…well, self-indulgent for me. I love fried rice. White rice you can keep, except to act as a nice fluffy, feather bed to be blanketed with a great sauce. This is a version of an after-work meal that I dream of. It’s the sole reason The Goddess makes extra rice. Continue reading

The Youngest One brought some homemade sausage from Vermont and that just says, “Grill, baby, grill”! Potato salad seemed like a good idea and since the grill was going anyway, why not grill the potatoes? And the onions, too? Turns out, that was my one good idea for the day! Continue reading

The recipe title is quite a mouth-full, isn’t it? We enjoyed this wonderful dish, at a dinner party in Puerto Rico, over 25 years ago. From the first bite, I was completely smitten with the flavor and the texture. It was creamy, salty, all gooey with cheese and truly delicious. It was about the best fish I had ever eaten. The hostess told me she would gladly give me the recipe. I don’t think she wanted to share the recipe, but I was bulldog-tenacious and wouldn’t give up. I begged and begged her for months, until we were down to pretty much the day before we were leaving the island, when she finally relented. Sometimes Goddess’s have to be persistent. Continue reading

Yes, the garden tomatoes have arrived! Aren’t they absolutely delicious? This is the time of year to indulge in their glory. Make BLT’s, tomato-avocado sandwiches and just plain tomato sandwiches with a schmear of good mayo…excuse while I step out for a cigarette! Continue reading

Slow-roasted, brown sugar-crusted corned beef with beer and onion gravy. Why would you save this just for St. Patrick’s Day? It’s much too good and so simple to be left to one day a year. It makes a great Sunday dinner and the house will smell good enough to eat! Continue reading

Basil, is more than just pesto. We tend to use it in savory ways, but it’s great used in a sweet, dessert-type way too. Basil like mint, comes in flavors. Here we have from the top left corner (clockwise) Purple basil, Thai basil, Lemon basil, Columnar basil, Variegated basil and Genovese basil, the one we’re probably most familiar with. Continue reading

My father loved potato salad. More importantly, he loved my mother’s potato salad. This is the way she made potato salad and she made it well. This is the way she taught me to make potato salad. There’s not much better with a hot dog, and yes, Virginia, that’s ketchup on the hot dog…get over it! Continue reading

This week I’ve been pan-frying things, with coffee on my mind! Here in the Northeast, we appear to be in full summer. You know, after our 15 minutes of Spring, and I finally gave in and kicked on the A/C…A/C is a is probably one of the greatest inventions of our time. It’s a big thing with The Goddess. However, being the Northeast, we may still have a killing frost; one never knows. I tell you, The Goddess loves living on the edge! Anyway, pan-frying is just a good thing to know how to do and do well. It’s pretty much all about a heavy pan and heat control. Continue reading
