With Thanksgiving on our horizons — despite the retail industry jumping straight into Christmas shopping — I thought I’d share a Thanksgiving anecdote with you. Like many other things in my culinary world, it’s Alton Brown’s fault. For those who don’t know, or hadn’t noticed from many of the other recipes I’ve shared, I’m a … Read more
So on Thursday night we cooked up the marinated Huli Huli Chicken. Part 1 of this post was pretty simple, make up the marinade, dump in the chicken parts and let ‘er soak. The cooking is the tough part. Because of the sugar content of the marinade, you have to be VERY careful how to … Read more

It’s time for another recipe blog! I don’t remember all that much in my life before about age 4. I don’t know why, I just don’t. Just the intermittent here-and-there memory. My family was living in Hawaii when I was 4-years-old. My Dad, who was in the Navy, was stationed at this small base northwest … Read more

What’s cool is that the only fat in the cookie is in the eggs (well, the almonds, too, I guess)!!!! So that makes them as healthy as my Holiday Surprise … Read more
This is Patricia (don’t let the Dr. Dave fool you). Tonight we made our first batch of cookies…. …but not before a shopping extravaganza at Costco on Veteran’s Day. Bulk packs of eggs, butter, sugar, powdered sugar, oatmeal, dried cranberries, vanilla extract… …but not flour. There was a great deal on a 25 lb. sack … Read more
