During my nearly 3 decades on this earth, I have eaten in hundreds, probably thousands, of restaurants across Europe and America. Only once did I refuse to pay for my dinner (a revolting Mexican place in Sacramento that served us what looked like leftover catfood in a corn husk). This was 8 years ago, and [...]

These delicious hotcakes are light, fluffy, soft and so much better than your average Bisquick pancakes!.Top them off with some fresh honeycomb, and let the honeycomb flow down the sides. They’re easy to make, with ricotta and some every day pantry ingredients. Five to ten minutes prep.

My Question of the Day: Why would a Midwesterner stand in line for 20 minutes for corn?

1/4 cup butter (I only had olive oil, worked very well too)

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

I should have listened when people told me their stories of enormous piles of zucchini, of eating zucchini day in, day out all summer, wild tales of “drop and run” actions by neighbors who can’t get rid of their zucchini either, and so on. But I did not.

We recently moved my grandmother into assisted living. Never an easy move, but her new two bedroom apartment is almost as large as the old house where she had lived since she got married in her 20’s. She has high ceilings, windows in three directions, and lots of light. She’s also made some new friends [...]
