A sunshine tulip and white sketches. 02/05/2013
The tulips I brought back from Amsterdam last year are all in bloom, except for 3 Allium bulbs that I lost to greedy rabbits. I picked all white bulbs and got big surprise when a few of the carefully picked white bulbs turned out to be a bright sunny yellow! That is OK. Oh well, […]

A spring poulain! 29/04/2013
Spring is supposed to have arrived, but on some days? I wonder if I made a mistake with the seasons..maybe we are moving into winter? Noo..n..it is spring, surely. In spite of icy weather, we have lilacs blooming profusely, wisterias drooping low with heavy blooms, tulips swaying their hips and young ones grazing in the [...]

Blueberry ~Lilac Scones~ 24/05/2013
What would I do with blossoms all year long? That would certainly be so nice~They make everything look so feminine and pretty~I love that lilacs are edible..the colors..The taste is not wow.. I must admit..it's almost insignificant to me..which makes lilacs even better for people who abhor strong tastes..It is ever so subtle~♥The fragrance stands alon […]

The Back Door 13/05/2013
We don't live in the kind of house with a back door that the family or friends use to enter the house. But my Grandmother had a farmhouse like that. In fact no one ever entered her house through the front door.But I love the idea of the presentable front, and the welcoming informality of the back door. I have a friend who lives in a part of the world wh […]

Mulch, propagating and gifts from neighbours 06/05/2013
My favorite gardening show Gardening Australia talked about growing plants solely for mulch. A waste of space I thought while watching it. I recently cut back my lemongrass for mulch, but still harvest it for cooking and tea. One plant that has not been used for much is the cardamom. I was so excited upon finding my first plant. Gosh I could grow my o […]

Today's post is my ode to green tea, beloved of my tea cup and my palate, and it will be one crammed with pictures to facilitate the making of this involved cake. I cannot live without green tea, but don't take my word for it. The proof's in this baumkuchen, this chicken noodle soup like no other, almond sables, this stupendously easy and deli […]

Meet Me in Montclair
It's been a long time since I visited Montclair, NJ, and a lot as happened to this city since I've been in the kitchen and living life in suburbia 30 minutes away. Montclair was always an enclave for artists and hipsters, but now it's like the Brooklyn of New Jersey (and Brooklyn wasn't always hip, believe me). The once dusty antique shop […]

Blossoms and Orange Olive Oil Cake 19/05/2013
Tree blossoms. The yards are blanketed in them.+And the rhododendrons - they are late coming to spring's party - but they are here. They're pretty fleeting. One swirl of the Minnesota winds and they scatter. But everything is fleeting, isn't it? The days I thought I would never be able to walk through my home without stepping on a lego or a mi […]

Sweet and Spicy Cashew Chicken with Quinoa 16/05/2013
Here is another quick and delicious meal that I prepared recently when we had our two little grandsons all day and our daughter came for dinner afterward. I had seen it on two of my fellow blogger's sites - Highlands Ranch Foodie and Saving Room for Dessert and thought it looked delicious. It was! The recipe is originally from Cooking Light and called […]

Golden Elderberry-Sambucus canadensis ‘Aurea’ 22/05/2013

Isn't she adorable??? At 11:30 I went in the house after cutting all the Iris that were flat on the ground from this weather. It was low key for the rest of the da […]

Tummy Grumbles for Granola 21/04/2013
“My tummy grumbles for that!” my youngest son said as he pointed to the jar of Granola I had made on whim the night before whilst he was tucked up in bed. There’s something nice about a big glass jar of granola sitting perched on the kitchen counter - don’t you think? I’m not sure what it is? It’s probably linked to my obsession with food and lifestyle mag […]

Best Ways To Cook Perfect Rice 31/05/2012
These three methods include boiling which will require twelve times as much water as rice, the Japanese method which will require you to use five times as much water as rice and the steaming method which will require you to use three times as much water as rice. You want to keep in mind that your rice when cooked should be whole and distinct. So that your ri […]

This is the time of year that I begin to decide what has been worth growing for the following year and the plants that I will give another year to prove themselves! Pagoda Dogwood Definitely a winner of a small tree, I keep it pruned up so that I can grow plants under it. It likes an acid fertilizer and tolerates moisture. Azalea Karen This is a wonderful […]

Clean Out The Fridge Pasta 26/05/2011
It's been a crazy time. We've been searching for a new receptionist at the clinic, and I seem to be the most computer savvy of the group. Scary, that. But anyway, it falls to me to put the ad in craigslist. A simple part time receptionist job, paying a mere $10 per hour, and I got over 200 responses the first day. After plowing through the first 30 […]

Naga restaurant review 24/05/2013
Am I the only one whose heart sinks when I read about a restaurant where the cuisine is described as pan-[insert huge geographical region here]? Africa is a continent, not a country (as they say), and a vast, not-very-homogenous one at that), and pan-African cuisine can only lead to the kind of messy culinary copulation [...]

Sweet and Spicy Slaw 21/05/2013
When I see a big, gorgeous, head of red cabbage like the one that was in our CSA box a couple of weeks ago, my first thought is slaw. I just checked, and I’ve posted about slaw almost as many times as I’ve posted about scones, but here’s one more that’s very worth considering for Memorial Day weekend or any summer party. It’s from Plenty, and the recipe is a […]

New Ones and Just Chilling 21/05/2013

Here's two little paintings to frame for Saturday. Sadie,the puppy, is just chilling. […]

Portrait of a Rooster 24/05/2013
Morning Call20x16 Oil/CanvasSoldMorning Call was loosely inspired by my lovely bantam rooster Vincent who, in real life, has an interesting shock of orange feathers on either side of his comb reminiscent of the pageboy type hairstyle worn by a young Vincent Van Gogh. His hearty crow announces each new day.

PROUD MOM OF A PUBLICITY HOUND 12/05/2013

She always smiles; she’s a golden retriever. Columbia Living published another recipe spread of mine: “Simple Salads & Sandwich Spreads.” YEA! Seeing my wo […]
