Wished I was older than I do right now. Three years and nine elusive months older and I would be eligible for the life-saving, virus-busting, normality-restoring coronavirus vaccine. For those of us who used to ask “What did you do this weekend?” by the non-existent water cooler (Answer these days, btw: “Nothing”), the big questionContinue reading “Never Have I Ever”

Didn’t See That Coming
I flew to Tallahassee (my first flight since the Pandemic) to see my son Chris, daughter-in-law Courtney and new grandson Liam last week. My flight landed half an hour early, so I texted them and they left to pick me up. On the way to the airport, a car careened by them, went off anContinue reading “Didn’t See That Coming”
The Best Crab Cakes
On our Road Trip last August, my husband Zeke and I were on the quest to find THE BEST CRAB CAKES in Maryland. We found them at World Famous Faidley’s in Lexington Market in Baltimore. Zeke loved them so much that he found the recipe online (Food.com) and made them for me in the Keys.Continue reading “The Best Crab Cakes”
Life is Too Short
In the article accompanying my recipes in Bon Appetit of June 1991, I said “Unless a new recipe I try is really fantastic, after I prepare it once, I throw it out- there are just so many to try!” This still holds true, although I tend to hang onto recipes that are good and throwContinue reading “Life is Too Short”
Wishing you Love, Light and Happiness
Happy New Year Foodie in Miami People! While most of us were hoping for a much more “normal” year of 2021, so far at least, it doesn’t seem to be in the stars. I am somewhat exhausted from end-of-the-year activities, including cooking and cleaning. While by November, with cooking fatigue, I could barely muster grillingContinue reading “Wishing you Love, Light and Happiness”
2020- A Picture Paints a Thousand Words
Christmastime is Here
My favorite Christmas T.V. Show is Charlie Brown’s Christmas. I think I like it because it explores how Christmas isn’t always merry and bright, but sometime sad and lonely. Anyway, this Holiday season I’ve experienced a bad case of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). It’s ironic, because in a normal year if an event getsContinue reading “Christmastime is Here”
Christmas Cosmo
Since it’s Christmastime and most of us are stuck at home (except you naughty boys and girls!), let’s make an easy and refreshing Holiday drink. The original drink calls for white cranberry juice, but if you use red, with green sugar, it looks quite festive. Cranberry Juice has lots of Vitamin C in it, toContinue reading “Christmas Cosmo”
Baby It’s Cold Outside!
Or at least it was last week, a refreshing change from Miami’s usual 80 degree weather. Since it was perfect tree-decorating weather, I invited Emma and Guillermo over for dinner Monday to trim the tree. It had been a long day and I had taken out one lobster tail and two steaks to cook forContinue reading “Baby It’s Cold Outside!”
