I'm still cookin'

Boy does the time fly when you get older. My camera died so I was without for a while and now Miguel saved me and gave me Javier's old one. Love the start-up sound Javier! Anyways - I'm still cooking - a little bit of everything. Here some recent successes...



Pasta with shrimp garlic and basil...thanks Pats and Marg for the smiley face spatula - I think of you every time I use it!



I'm forever roasting chickens.


Eat your red fruits - most of these come from our garden.


My Uncle Dick taught me everything you need to now to build a good sandwhich.
I cooked the eggs myself but the crab salad is from the store!


I've been on a Ossobuco craze recently - I think I've made it 6 times in the last 3 months....this version is Milanese. Veal shanks that melt in your mouth. If you dare the marrow is delicious.


I bought some of the small squid at the market. We floured the tentacles and deepfried them - if you like that sort of thing this was an OMG. I felt like I was in Greece. William made his famous squid in tomato sauce and parcely with the bodies - no foto but trust me it was fab.

Thanks for the artwork Marlou!

I decided it was time to change the look of the blog a little bit.

Thanks Marlou for providing the "cover" artwork for so long!
