The swirly things stayed south of us but we got much rain.
Oh, it is that time of year again isnt it?
Dogwood all blooming and horses on the track..
Thank you, Jinxy!
These cookin’ thread are great fun for me, and I think there is something for everyone in them!
Nana sounds like an awesome cook, and an awesome freind to that for that lady!
Kudos, Nana!
I knew all Downeasters had fire pits.....absolutely a prerequisite for clam bakes! Skip the banana leaves if you’ve got seaweed and spend the saved money on more beer!
LOL
They popularly demand that you throw it away, right?
I couldn’t live without them when they are nice and juicy.
Definiely a problem - I’m going to check with my local florist. Maybe if I plan it right, I can get her to order some...
I don’t know about all women but cooking for an appreciative husband makes me strive to excell.
No better compliment than 2nd’s or 3rd’s.
Hmmm..
Seaweed on your pork butt?
LOL
Absolutely right - and it’s something that I don’t see in younger folk. I can’t tell you how often I hear that the husband does the cooking; and it’s mainly a survival thing - their wives just don’t cook!
Guess I’m just an ol’ fuddy-duddy.
That breakfast skillet is a quiche?
STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU
1 1/2 (8 oz.) pkgs. light cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 c. icing sugar
7 tbsp. Marsala (Italian dessert wine)
1/2 c. sour cream

2 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. instant espresso powder or instant coffee
2 1/4 (approximately) 3.5 oz. pkgs. lady finger style cookies
1 oz. bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semi-sweet chocolate, grated
Blend cream cheese, icing sugar and 5 tablespoons Marsala in processor until smooth. Mix in sour cream. Slice 1/2 of strawberries; cut all remaining strawberries in half.
Combine boiling water, 2 tablespoons sugar and espresso powder in medium bowl; stir to dissolve. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons Marsala. Dip one lady finger briefly into espresso mixture, turning to coat.
Place flat side up in bottom of 8 inch square GLASS baking dish with 2 inch high sides. Repeat with enough lady fingers to cover bottom of baking dish, trimming biscuits to fit.

You are not a fuddy-duddy!
People should learn and know how to cook.
Single or married, male or female!
I think it is becoming a lost art..
It’s not a skillet...it’s baked in the oven & prepard just like a quiche but no crust.
It does me too, Sis.
I just love cookin; for Mr B.
(I also love it when he cooks for ME!)
LOL
Teens trying to “end it all” tonight.
So far none of them have.
Woohoo! That must mean he’s doin’ good if he is liking
steak again!
You can save the enchiladas for us! :D
I’m finding that Hamilton gets right up my nose.
No wonder he was in a duel..
Ahhhh...I see.
Dogwoods are long gone.
Town is full of out of towners.
Driving on the expressway has been bumper to bumper.
I think we have doubled in population.
