Hey, if a tv show can do it (Orange is the New Black – a Netflix Original series), so can I! This, however, is not another episode of Piper Kerman’s memoir-turned-tv-show, but a tribute to an island. Okinawa, that is. I visited the local fruit market yesterday, and walked away with…
Poke, Okinawa Style
One of T’s first trips to the island of Hawaii, had him excitedly exclaiming over the turtles, the mango (they’re just falling on the ground!!!), and poke.

The Japanese Pancake ~ it’s SO fluffy!!
I blame credit QB for introducing me to the Japanese pancake! She just had to have her going away party at Hanon Seaside Cafe… as if it wasn’t enough that they serve a beautiful and tasty cappuccino, or the baby creme brûlée-breakfast dessert (if you can have dessert after dinner, why not after breakfast?!),…
By Design
Home-baked bread doesn’t need anything special to be special. However, decoratively scoring into unbaked loaves, that have been gently blanketed with a dusting of flour- creates a stunning food-gift…much like spending a little more time on wrapping a present for a loved one- may you feel love with each bite you take ❣️
Two Eggs, please
Two eggs, sautéed onion, bacon, and thyme – topped with a sheer blanket of gruyère cheese, all tucked in a little ramekin, pop it in the oven and suddenly, this simple, diner staple becomes something special… line the ramekins with ham, throw in some fresh chopped baby spinach, top with halved cherry tomatoes and you’ve…
