I was right. This place is amazingly good. My first visit wasn’t just a fluke. Today, the place was just opening for lunch, so we had our pick of the tables. One long booth should be big enough to hold the salad, pizza, and dessert…oh yes, there was dessert. Dessert is not the …
Good morning! This is my first post via crackberry so I’m not sure what to expect. I know I won’t have the font options that I love but hey, tehnology is grand. This is the start of my birthday week. Yes, in my family we get a week for our birthdays. And no rules! Its …

I learned something new about myself. I’m a big ol’ chicken. I am kicking myself for not taking food pictures. Taking the camera out in front of family at a crowded restaurant…..give me the chills. Normally, I’m not that afraid of stuff like that. I’ll probably never see the people in the restaurant again. And …

(this is a previous post that I forgot to publish before I left for the beach) St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner and because that day is also my birthday, I always chose NOT to wear green. It’s not my favorite color although people give me a lot of compliments when I wear it. …
After talking to Momma, I made some hot tea. “Hot tea will help that congestion”. Since she was sitting at HER mother’s house during this phone call and I didn’t hear any objection from Grandma, I decided to try some. And since this is about hot tea, I think it’s time to break out the …

Sunday morning, I woke up with that dreaded feeling—the shots had worn off. My head was back to it’s regular pumpkin like state and my lungs were as tight as before. It usually takes about 48 hours for the oral medicine to kick in, so I resigned myself to just laying low and resting. First, …
Famous words from my father. I’m not sure if it will cure me if I can’t eat it. The medicine makes my stomach cranky so I’m not going to try to eat a whole bowl of it yet. BUT.. look at it!! When I tasted a few spoons of it, I was astounded. …
They are everywhere. 100 calories of Hostess cupcakes. 100 calories of chips ahoy. 100 calories of decadent Godiva chocolate cheesecake with chocolate graham crust and gorgeous dark chocolate shavings. Okay, maybe the last one is not a real food item but if it was, it would be about the size of a nickel. If I’m …
Last night, while cooking gumbo, I felt like a train had hit me. I assumed I was just tired from the week, but woke up at 2am with a massive nosebleed and terrible pressure in my chest. I tried to go back to sleep, but finally dozed off again at 6. I was at the …
If you’ve taken a hard look at the yogurt section lately, you may have seen something called “Greek yogurt”. What is this stuff and why are we now eating imported yogurt? Greek yogurt is plain yogurt that has been strained. That’s it. It has a LOT more protein than regular and the thicker consistency makes …
I finally found it! A few weeks ago, Momma called to ask me about Mamaw’s Gumbo. She knew I was frequently on a stool next to the stove watching her make many good things and wondered if I happened to remember the gumbo. I knew it involved a long roux ritual and a can of …
I had a great Friday and felt like doing something different. So, let’s bake a cake. This is my favorite cake recipe. I call it Baby Food Cake but it’s real name is something boring like “spice cake”. I remember clearly making this many times growing up. It came from the Bell Cookbook which is …
Run: 4.5 Sugar: 124 I have heard many good things about Amy’s organic foods. I stopped eating frozen dinners about 2 years ago when I tried to read the ingredients on a box. These were the first in a long line of processed products that I have banned from the kitchen. I noticed recently that …
Run: 3.5 miles Sugar: fasting-110 Wednesdays are usually my celebration for surviving Tuesdays—they are bad luck, I’m telling you—but this morning was not off to a good start. I woke up with face pressure. Fun. That usually doesn’t mean happy things in the future. Not to be deterred, I knew that the day after Read …
