Am happy to report that after laser surgery in both eyes last week, I have regained my vision enough to work at the computer again. I apologize for the downtime, but it’s difficult to work at the computer with one eye or the other taped shut. On this Memorial Day weekend, there are probably many readers [...]

Since the procedure includes taping the eye shut for several hours followed by massive eye drop applications, the bottom line is my vision is going to be impaired for several days and my not have postings [...]

The weather has been so nice and sunny the past few days, I plunked down money at the market Tuesday for a couple of cartons of ice cream. Since one was vanilla, which begged for a rich chocolate topping. I had a bottle of store-bought topping in the refrigerator, but I also had the ingredients on [...]

The headline of today’s blog is not only the title of a great film from a few years back, but also one of my favorite Southern dishes. With a mother and grandmothers who all hailed from Kentucky, fried green tomatoes were a standard dish on all their tables. Of course I am nuts about big ripe [...]
