A favorite re-run…one of my first blog posts. Interesting to see how my style has changed since last October….. ******************** Obviously, I do a lot of cooking. With the first signs of Fall hitting last week, that interest turns to baking and candy making, gearing up for all of the parties, feasts, gift giving. Snacks […]
Hello! If you are linking to this page from Griffin’s Grub, don’t run off yet….There is another “Breakfast on the BBQ” recipe at the end of this post–a cinnamon roll cooked on the grill–and you can’t see it anywhere but here! I think. ***************************** Well, Y’all, I am doing it. Breaking a vow. I told […]
Funny what you remember, sometimes. I can’t tell you what I had for breakfast two days ago, but I remember, verbatim, the audio tapes we used to listen to in high school French class. “Où est Phillipe?” “A la piscine.” “Avec Luc?” “No. Avec Anne.” “Où est Sylvie?” “À la bibliothèque.” So, in case you missed […]

Although let’s face it—those ARE still cool….I am talking boat drinks, water sports, and blasting the A/C kind of cool. The temperatures are hovering in the triple […]

Maybe they have the mindset that everything has to be new and fresh, or somehow someone is getting shortchanged? I don’t get it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I […]
So, up until this point, my husband has managed to escape any real significant embarrassment in my stories. Oh, I have talked about how we met, and his less than adventurous culinary tastes. I may have mentioned a drunken party foul or two, and I DID post that picture of him in yellow tights. But […]
I know that an inordinate number of my posts have lately made reference to boys’ pieces-parts. It isn’t because I have a perverse interest in such things. Rather, it’s because when you have boy children, their bits are always getting them into some sort of trouble. It’s just always there, in the way, tempting them […]

Show of hands—who loves cheese? If you didn’t raise your hand, you should probably quit reading, because the three recipes I am offering today do nothing, if not provide in-your-face cheesiness. How could you not love cheese? Your loyalties are now in question…. If you did raise your hand, you are my friend, and I love […]
Sometimes I wonder what our neighbors to the north think of us southern ladies. They must get awfully confused by how we are portrayed in movies, books, and lore. There seems to be two predominant stereotypes about southern women—the Southern Belle, and Daisy Duke. The Southern Belle I am sure it comes as no surprise […]
