This was our last meal together while on holiday. I think of this as a Northern meal when in fact we spent summers clamming in North Carolina. Of course, I saved the best meal for last. I think clams might be my favorite food if I had to choose; though I hope I never have to choose a favorite food since there [...]
This is one of the recipes that my mom had tucked away for years waiting to be tried. She has many and I had the opportunity to browse through her folder picking and choosing what interested me. This was the first recipe I grabbed. Something about them led me to believe they might resemble a [...]
My mom makes the best…………………. If I were to ask my three children they would all have a different answer as to what they think I make best. In fact, everyone of you would have a different answer, one that I would love to know if you’d like to share your answer in the comment [...]
One of my requests upon returning to New England was making a batch of Julia Child’s Baked Beans. This is a 16 hour recipe, and with a little planning can be worked in to your schedule quite easily. We have so much noise going on here that I forgot to plan ahead of time and [...]
I have been planning on making my favorite Brunswick Stew for a while now and knew my dad would help with the barbecuing. First off, this is not a dish for the impatient as it takes a good 9 hours to make. Is it worth it? You bet.
On the other hand is this post worth the [...]
This is the salad that I have been thinking about for over 2 years. Why I didn’t ask my mom for this recipe all this time is beyond me. Then again, it’s sometimes best to leave certain foods that conjure up fond memories to those that made it. My mom made this at our last visit and I [...]

We arrived safely at our destination: Connecticut. After making the decision to drive straight through, our time of arrival was 1 a.m. It was a 17-hour trip, but we managed to avoid all but a hour snafu during rush hour around DC. We were exhausted, but an ice coffee perked us up and we made it all the [...]
My daughter M and I are driving up North to Connecticut today; to the lovely town of Old Lyme. We are going to spend 2 weeks with my family. My other daughters D and L are flying in from Alaska and Phoenix with my precious grandsons W and L for two weeks as well. We will be [...]
With peach season in full swing in the Low country, my mind is churning with recipe ideas. The churning lead me to a Peach Cobbler which was pure heaven last week. This was quickly followed by Peach Ice Cream. So, armed with my new ice cream maker and a little knowledge/experience, I set out to make the perfect Peach [...]
