Helping People Feed Themselves with Free Vegetables

READ MORE –>

This is such a heartwarming story that I just had to share. It is a cool story about helping those who wanted to help themselves in these trying times. Yes, it was free, but you had to do the work yourself. That just might be the greatest gift of all. This is the story that [...]

Black Truffle

READ MORE –>

I couldn’t resist. At $169 per pound it is quite an investment. I only bought a small fraction of that, one of the smallest ones there (the picture is deceiving, it is sitting in a demitasse saucer). I have never seen them in the supermarket before. I just had to, it called to me. I [...]

Nando’s Double Breasted Burger

READ MORE –>

The South Africans make some of the best ads out there. This is no exception, I think that my husband (a South African) must have watched it 20 times. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of eating a Nando’s Peri Peri Chicken, I am sorry. I will post my version at [...]

Product Review: No Pudge! Fudge Brownie Mix

READ MORE –>

For those days when you need something chocolate and you need it fast. There is a mix out that doesn’t have anything funky in the mix. Can you believe it. This is the lazy person’s (my) brownie mix. I know homemade is the best, I won’t deny it, but this comes a close second. This [...]

Review: Cooky’s European Deli & Market

READ MORE –>

I really love new food scenes, and there is a new one in town. Well, now it isn’t exactly a restaurant, or not just a restaurant. It is called Cooky’s European Deli and Market (what a ridiculous sounding name). The first day it opened I had to go. We were like three kids in a [...]

The Story of Stuff

READ MORE –>

My sister-in-law sent me an email with a link to this. My boys and I sat and watched it this morning. Yep, it is 20 minutes long, 20 minutes. That is a long time to keep my attention let alone that of two boys 8 & 10. They were very intrigued as was I. It [...]

When is a problem a good thing to have? When you have too many fresh vegetables from a local farm. We bought into a CSA (community supported agriculture) this year.  Every week during the growing season we get a share of the farm. Just look at all the goodies, even with the unseasonably cold weather [...]

Luxembourg

Thumbnail image for Luxembourg READ MORE –>

This is one of my most favorite cities in the world. The best seafood of anywhere I have ever been, and it is not even on the coast. I ask my husband why we can’t move to Lux, he just laughs. His family lives only an hour or so away in Germany. Maybe that is [...]
