My family and I suspect most Americans don’t spend enough time eating. Oh my we get enough FOOD to eat, but seem to spend very little time enjoying the experience. We’ve been working at adding more variety to our diet in the form of organ meats, sea food and vegetables, to my dear husbands meat-and-potato-loving [...]
I am going to move stuff around on the blog now that I have it stable again. I am going to re-add all my recipes and pictures from the past and now that I’ve found all my old blog posts I am going to start moving them on here one at a time. So sign [...]

Charcuterie. MMMM sausage…… sigh… I LOVE sausage. I obsess about good sausage. I make great homemade sausage. I ran out and bought Ruhlman’s book after hearing about it on No Reservations. Tony Bourdain’s da bomb. I’d do him in a hot New York minute, so to speak. Here’s a great pic/rendering I found on Salon [...]
DJ and I went to a chi-chi market (Angel’s Food Market, which is a great place to shop) in a neighboring town and bought some nifty edibles. I am working on “intuitive” eating: eating when I am hungry, and just until I am not hungry any more, not to the point of bursting and dying. [...]
