My friend Claudia is always the hit of any gathering.  She is from Guadalajara, Mexico, and she can cook.  She walks into the party, school function, etc with a bundle of these wrapped up in foil and a freshly cooked salsa then let the swarming begin.  You’d better get there early, because they disappear in [...]

Yesterday would have been the boy’s Urgroßmutter’s (Great Grandmother’s) 90th birthday.

We decided that we would honor her with a cake.  There was much debate about which cake should be made.  Most were clamoring for a [...]

Wondering where capers come from? It is not from papayas, that is for sure. Thank heavens I jumped at the chance to attend the International Food Blogger Conference (IFBC), May 2009 in Seattle.  Besides getting the most amazing goodie bag I met some of the greatest people.  One of those that I was luckiest to [...]

I am frustrated on a daily basis about the lack of decent restaurants in this godforsaken town. One look at the local restaurant scene and one would think that the town was designed for the college students. Granted this is a University town, obviously I am not talking about Berkeley, but it would be nice [...]

dark. dark. January. dark. We need some color, some jazz, something to bring us out of these doldrums. How about some flavor punched Nam Jim? What is Nam Jim you say? Well, that is a question not easily answered.  While combing the internet for recipes I was never able to find two alike.  Or even [...]

Life is what happens when you have other plans That was the saying on the back of a sugar packet I received at a restaurant in Pretoria, South Africa about 14 years ago and it has become the motto of my life.  This was not the post I had intended to write next, but corrupt [...]

It is hard to believe that a salad that was made famous by the Waldorf Hotel Restaurant in the 1890′s, now the infamous Waldorf Astoria, has turned into a ho-hum potluck classic.  I have a new version here that will relaunch this into your repertoire.  This is a feel good salad that tingles with bright [...]
