Slow-simmered curries create such a rich, deep aroma as the spices and vegetables meld together to create a comforting, hot meal. The entire house smells of warming spices, thick with coriander, cumin, cinnamon, pepper. While I love cooking slow-simmered curry for hours, most days I just don’t have time for that. I need to get…
Dill Pickle Soup, a Recipe Renovation Success!
Last week my sweet friend Gina shared the link to a recipe on Facebook. The recipe was for Dill Pickle Soup, a true work of genius from Noble Pig. It reminded me of soup I had tried a few years ago at Fountain on Locust in St. Louis. I took a peek at the recipe…

A few years ago, while visiting a city of about 6,000 people on the mainland of Honduras, I noticed many people hiking down from the villages located high up in the mountains. A steady stream of people were entering the city, tired and dirty from walking down trails that are little more than a cow…

Soften Saturday: WTH was Renee Zellweger Thinking?
Unless you live under a very large rock or deep within a cave, you’ve seen all of the media chatter this week about Renee Zellweger’s new look.

I Ate Here: Bonefish Grill

Yesterday morning I was a bit sniffly. By yesterday afternoon, my head felt heavy, I was sleepy and had the feeling that I was about to have a cold. You know that feeling? Like maybe you are about to be sick? I don’t have time to feel sick, so I headed into the kitchen to…
