Mutton Curry
No, this isn’t mutton; it’s chicken. But I made this curry dish with some curry paste that is supposed to be for mutton. That sounds ghastly to me, but I can’t really tell the differences among the different packets of … Continue reading

Hospital Pizza
This is a test to post from iPhone. Lunch today can be this pizza or cream of potato soup, with sausage. This is just a test. Do not be alarmed!
Poached and Pineapple – Ham and Jam
Here it is Sunday again, and time to haul out the brown eggs. We seem to have developed a taste for this meal to be done Hawai’ian style – that is pineapple sautéed in the pan with the ham. Improves … Continue reading

Club Sandwich Casserole
It was dinnertime, and offering a panini always meets with great enthusiasm. Again lunch had been late, so a lighter dinner was in order. A traditional Club Sandwich has turkey, ham, cheese, and various other goodies, so I put in … Continue reading

Less is More
Computers . . . they just blow my mind! I worked at Apple Computer (2/86 – 6/94) and saw so many innovations, but my mouth routinely drops open at what I have seen happening in the industry since then. I … Continue reading
Cilantro – a new favorite
Home from the clinic and starving – as usual! DH had a bowl of brown rice and Peruano beans with Italian sausage – very internacional! My bowl looked like the above. You can’t see the delicious chicken stew that was … Continue reading

Thirteen Pancakes (Pikelets)
An efriend (Hi – Liz) in Canada makes a breakfast item called pikelets, http://myfavouritepastime.com/2014/04/20/poppy-seed-orange-pikelets/comment-page-1/#comment-13510 and explains that they are different from our American “pancakes” in that they are thicker and fluffier. Wheee ! That is always my goal, too, so … Continue reading

The Competition
The rose tree is winning by volume, but the irises are so beautiful in their own right.
What the Bees See
I’ve taken a bazillion pictures of this tree and its beautiful flowers, but always miss showing how really gorgeous the sky is here. We have little pollution, so frequently (not always), the sky is an electric blue. The bees are … Continue reading

Creole Cream Cheese and Red Eye Gravy
It’s Sunday again, and, after a couple of weeks off from poached eggs, we’re back at it again. This time the polenta had a good-sized hunk of the horseradish white Cheddar cheese in it, but the flavor is too subtle … Continue reading

A Beautiful Rose
Yesterday I spent about two hours looking at this picture and trying out different effects on it. Each one was more beautiful than the last, and I was totally mesmerized. This is how she looks with no make up on … Continue reading
Puerco Peruano
Have you ever tried Peruano beans? They are truly magnificent, supplanting the beloved red beans, if you can believe it. Part leftovers and part freshly cooked, here is what we had for lunch yesterday: Into a very hot skillet with … Continue reading

Solid Juice
This array of goodness makes three hearty cups of pure gold, delicious juice. The carrot “fluff” that is left in the juicer is great added to our cooked cereal. Cancer medicines can cause one’s system to balk. So to counteract … Continue reading

Hot Roast Beef Sandwich – sort of Canadian Style
Looks good, eh? We’d been hearing about Poutine. If I have it right, that is French fries with a cheese sauce and gravy. Sounds a bit weird, but Canadians seem to think it is really spiffy, so maybe we should … Continue reading
