Summertime in Annapolis means food fresh from the farm
If you want to avoid the crowds, try farm shopping Tuesday mornings at the Riva Road Farmers Market, open from 7:00 a.m. to noon.

Veal parmigiana after mundane chores
What is worst.? Doing taxes, paying bills, or filing an insurance claim? These are all on my “to do” list this week. Oh yes and there is buying a new car to replace the mini that was totaled.

The size of Labradoodles and importance of comfort food
The importance of relativity came across to me physically and mentally, on my many levels this past week. On a physical level, this new wisdom manifested itself in the size of dogs. That’s right. Dogs. Last night, having not seen Halo and Leopold, dogs belonging to my son Chris and his fiancée Laura in someContinue reading “The size of Labradoodles and importance of comfort food”

Chili: A Great Pre-Holiday Feast
If the chili looks this good cold, you can imagine it looks piping hot ladled over a little Basmati rice with some grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. I was too busy and the kitchen was too crowded to take photos of the holiday Master’s swim group gathering. I figured that afterContinue reading “Chili: A Great Pre-Holiday Feast”
Greek Burgers with Fennel
My husband reminded me this morning that six weeks ago I could barely hold a mug in my hand. Whenever possible I was drinking beverages out of disposable plastic because it was lighter in weight. Now I don’t give a thought to lifting a pottery mug. I can even lift a frying pan which meansContinue reading “Greek Burgers with Fennel”
