    In Loving Memory

    Marge even though I rarely come to DC any more, for some reason something drew me here today. I was deeply sorry to see that Paul has crossed and you, Paul and your family have my prayers. I remember chatting with you and Paul a couple of times in the past about the Navy and I know how taps...

    Picking a good watermelon

    A yellow spot should be riper than a white spot. Ask me, I buy a LOT of watermelon. :) Should not be dark yellow as that is a sign of over ripe

    My Cooking Experience - Flops & Successes

    Hmmmm well there were several problems that I could only partially fix. Space The biggest problem I had was space, both work area and inside the frig. I know I had an extra frig, but between what I had fixed, groceries that I had for appetizers that I didn't fix and what my mother was...

    Cuban sandwich

    I live in Tampa and really enjoy the authentic Cuban Sandwich. You need the pickles, but I don't like them with lettice and tomato AND I am a lettice and tomato person, just not on this sandwich. I love them pressed where they are nice and crunchy and the cheese is a little gooey. That with some...

    My Cooking Experience - Flops & Successes

    LOL thank you for sharing those pictures Corinne. :) It did make me feel better and I really hate that food was being thrown away, but it sat for hours in a hot hall and my sister and I both agree that pork, beef, and eggs should not sit out like that and then be given to a homeless shelter...

    My Cooking Experience - Flops & Successes

    Well my mother ended up having to come home early (she is 82) and so I left the party a little late, BUT it was a success. My sister convinced me to take the chicken nuggets and people loved them. Maybe I am my own worst critic. Funny thing is, with all the food I cooked, I didn't eat a thing...

    FL - Tampa ... eats by the Ford Amphitheater?

    The Columbia has been around for at least 40 years, so I am not the only one who thinks the food there is good. Has always been a family owned restaurant and they are even newsworthy as somebody stole a bust of the mother who died sometime back from the porch. They had to break the porch up to...

    My Cooking Experience - Flops & Successes

    Well this has really been a learning experience. I have only had two and a half flops. One was the cheddar cheese crackers (will post recipe later so somone can help me figure out why). The second flop is the one that I hate being a flop since I spent hours and hours cutting, dipping and...

    Strong Onion Taste

    Well I am only half done with baking the chicken nuggets. Everything else is done except for stuffing the eggs. That I will do tomorrow morning at the reception hall and then put them in frig. I am so tired that I could cry, so am going to go take a 3 hour nap and then get up and get busy...
