TASTING EVERYTHING – Marilyn Armstrong
I'm a firm believer in tasting each item on your plate separately. Why? Because I put effort into cooking each part of the meal and I want you to taste it. I'm in favor of not mixing your whole meal into one gloppy mess. If I've made the effort to cook three or four separate … Continue reading TASTING EVERYTHING – Marilyn Armstrong
WORLD SHARING WHILE WATCHING THE IOWA CAUCUSES – Marilyn Armstrong
Share Your World 2-4-2020 This year, politics is more critical than I ever remember it. To be fair, though, I've always been fascinated by our elections, debates, primaries.

Like apples, walnuts, or … Continue reading IT’S APPLE SEASON! TIME FOR WALDORF SALAD – Marilyn Armstrong
THE JOY OF COOKING SHOWS – BY ELLIN CURLEY
The less I cook, the more I watch cooking shows on TV. I particularly love baking shows and I haven’t baked in years. But I’m obviously not watching these shows to improve my cooking skills or to learn new techniques or even to collect new recipes. I think for me, it’s more of an outlet. … Continue reading THE JOY OF COOKING SHOWS – BY ELLIN CURLEY
