  • One vacation not to take

    I have very fond memories from my childhood of going on summer vacation with my family.  There is something exciting about packing your bags, driving several hours, and being away from home for a few days.  However, now that I am an adult who does not get his summers off, I have found that I enjoy them even more.  It is good to get away and take a break with my family.  It is good to interrupt the routine, step back from the business of life, and be away with each other.  It is good to rest.

  • Learn to STOP before changing your cooking style

    Hello once again, my friends. It is certainly good to be back to writing and sharing some culinary ideas. As I’m looking out the window, it’s in the 90’s outside and frankly, I am ready for some cooler weather and heartier cooking.

    As most of you know, I have a love affair with cooking. I love food. Plain and simple. Not just food for the sake of our bodies needing it, which of course we all do, but more for what it provides for our souls and especially how it brings people together.
