It’s cold out there… Well, it’s cold out there somewhere other than Alabama. I scroll through my Facebook timeline and see posts of my remote friends about freezing cold, and knee deep snow, and I want to be there with them. I love snow. I want to be cold, curl up on the couch all […]
LAST SEEN IN MY KITCHEN ...
Quick And … Fancy? You got it!
One of the both weird and heartwarming customs of my native land was (and I hope still is), showing up at the door of your best friends on a whim.

Some Things Will Never Change…
Here it is — the mother of all homemade dishes. When mom cooked it, we were rushing back home from school, because we could smell it from the distance. It’s an epitome of comfort food and, if you are lucky to be not counting carbs, home made noodles or mashed potatoes are in order. Forget […]
