Are any of you like me?  Since Christmas has come and gone, I am left thinking about all the things I didn’t do.  Do not get me wrong.  I did plenty, but I always want to do more. (I realize that this is a fault, but I can’t help myself.)  I wanted to see the […]

Friend Kim is hosting an 80th birthday party for her mother.  Kim’s mother is amazing.  She still plays tennis each week – in two tennis leagues no less.  (And she looks good in the cute tennis outfits also.) Kim called, and we discussed her party.  I had a couple of trays to loan her, and she […]

Corn Dip – I remember it well.  It was an holiday open house at an antique mall on Lovers’ Lane.  One of the dealers was serving corn dip.  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  I think we all embarrassed ourselves standing around grazing on the Fritos and Corn Dip.  I will never forget it.  She told us […]

Spicy Crackers are so easy to make, and they are a big a hit for a salty/savory snack at a party – or anytime for that matter. Backstory:  I bought two packages of spices to make Spicy Crackers at a craft fair.  I wanted to make more crackers for the Christmas Eve Open House, so […]

Sesame Asparagus Roll-ups are so good.  I like them.  I love them.  They are so good that I was determined to make them for Stephanie’s shower. It took three trips to as many grocery stores to be able to find asparagus to my liking.  At one store, the asparagus was too large (I almost wrote […]

Sheila and I have been cooking together for as long as we have known each other.  Back in the day, we were part of a group of “church ladies” that cooked lunch for about 125 women once a month for Baptist Women.  We had so much fun together – and still do! Sheila has always […]
