Panini Cheese Hinge, Internacional
My panini pan is way in the back of a cabinet, so I don’t often think to get it out to preheat on the stove for the ten minutes this takes, but when I do . . . oh, my … Continue reading

The Ultimate Spaghetti Bread
Sometimes things turn out even better than expected! Last night I made a focaccia, six sandwich buns, and my “experimental loaf”, which came out exceptionally well. When I make bread, I make slightly more dough than I need, and then … Continue reading

Split Pea and Lentil Soup, Strawberries Alongside
Monday’s split pea soup was really good, but I had forgotten that we favored the addition of lentils to this fabulous lunch dish. So yesterday I soaked up some plain lentils, using my famous Nissan-Thermos vacuum bottle method to pre-cook … Continue reading

Lovely Leftovers
DH wanted yet another cheeseburger for lunch today. I am not that fond of too many meat-heavy meals in a row, so I dragged out little pokes of all kinds of things in the refrigerator. With the aid of the … Continue reading

Blue Blueberry Pancakes

Beyond Delicious!
I just can’t seem to make this picture delicious-looking enough to get the wondrousness of it across. And, yes, this is “leftovers”! I had made Chicken Cacciatore with Linguini and steamed kale the other night, and there was some left, … Continue reading

The Window and the Flag
A window into a partially lit room and a crumbling balcony made for an interesting photograph on our day trip to Bisbee on Monday. The flag visible in the lower right-hand corner piqued my interest. I thought it might be … Continue reading

It’s Not Monday, and . . .
I didn’t do the washing today, but we did have the traditional Monday/laundry dish – Red Beans and Rice. It was doctor day, but a bit of foreplanning produced lunch in about two minutes once we got home. All I … Continue reading

Soup – Salad – Sandwich
The three “S’s” of good eating. After a morning of slinging boxes around in our storage room, this late lunch proved to be just right. How can you go wrong with a roast chicken, pepper cheese, and tomato panini on … Continue reading

Israeli Cous Cous Goes with Everything
Much as we love it, I don’t always think to cook Israeli cous cous as frequently as I should. It goes with everything, and is just totally delightful. See how colorful it is with this BBQ’d chicken and vegetables? The … Continue reading

Cranberry Relish
This is one of our favorite dinners. Roast chicken, in a rich gravy made from the very gelatinized bone broth from the roasting process, is great comfort food, but it is the cranberry relish that makes it so very special. … Continue reading

The plan had been to take a day trip over to Bisbee today to stalk the many photographic opportunities there, but the wind decided to play havoc with the dust today, and visibility is, uncharacteristically, almost zero. Weather reports say … Continue reading
Lazy Cheese Pizza – Baked
It would seem that the extra effort to grate the cheese topping isn’t really necessary to success. It all melted together anyway, and tasted great! So . . . I guess one doesn’t need to grate to be great! ;->

Lazy Cheese Pizza
I was pressed for time, so didn’t grate the mozzarella, just sliced it and arranged it in a wheel. It turned out really nice; shall repeat the procedure henceforth. Maybe it was because I hadn’t made a pizza in a … Continue reading

There were lots of rocks at Amerind, really big rocks, and I took pictures of many of them. Winnowing them down to the most interesting was a tough job, but here’s what I settled on. We all noticed that this … Continue reading
