Linguine with Spinach, and Garlic — and Early Year Successes
January and February are busy months because I teach a course during the first six weeks. As a result I do less cooking — and as a corollary, less blogging. Barbara happily and ably leapt into the void, and she … Continue reading

Random Post During Quarantine
Sometimes I worry I’m about to go past my expiration date. That thought occurred to me a few days ago, when Barbara noticed a very large bird in a tree alongside our driveway. “Looks like a raptor of some sort,” … Continue reading
Walks, and Another Italian Lunch
This was another good week, featuring walks on a country road and cooking as we like. The walk is usually 1.0-1.5 miles down the road from our house and back up again. We stop for a short rest by the … Continue reading

First Snowfall, Tuesday Night Dinner
Like much of the country as we begin December, we got a hefty chunk of snow the past few days. Through Sunday evening, Monday, and Tuesday, the total accumulation here was about 12″ of fairly wet snow. With significant changes … Continue reading

Fall Visit in the Verde Valley, Arizona

Salads in the Snow
