Many, many lifetimes ago my husband worked in the dinning room of a big fancy hotel. There, they made a “classic” caesar salad, that he still maintains contained no mayo, mustard, and heaven forbid no worcestershire. Looking at the picture you may surmise that this is clearly not that “classic” recipe, with the additions of… Continue reading
On any given day if I ask my Husband what he wants for dinner most of the time the response will be “Chicken? Maybe fish? Or we haven’t had a steak in a long time”. Never does he lead with “how about eggplant? or broccoli?”. Therefore I sometimes have to be sneaky when it comes… Continue reading

I think it is perhaps time to put away the childhood version of tomato soup from the can, We deserve a more refined, grown up… Continue reading
There very few foods that I don’t like. So few, I can count them on two fingers. Swordfish is one. Whenever I admit this to any of foodie friends.
