loved seeing the picture of Mum!
Love, Kath
I have partaken in several Sunday dinners and as a fellow “foodie” I can vouch for their goodness. I certainly have eaten more than I had planned…Mum and David enjoy the meals as well… and the company is devine.

Thanks, Penny. You are a jewel!
Hi Carol, It was nice meeting you last Friday at the Valentine’s party… I like your blog with all the recipes with beautiful pictures…. You are one daughter-in-law in a million and your mother-in-law must be very special.. continue enjoying your Sunday meals and enchanting your family (what was cooking in the pot today?).

Hi Chantal, Thanks for looking around my blog. Today, I fixed another pulled pork, because I wasn’t able to get any photos at the Super Bowl Party, and I didn’t get to eat any either. Everyone scarfed it down before I had a chance to sample. So I made it again today, along with coconut rice and a salad of arugula and red grapes with a shallot dressing and garnished with crumbled blue cheese. Wow, that salad was yum-mee! I had tons of grapes left over from the Super Bowl party and came up with that salad as a way to use some of them. For dessert, I served store bought cheese cake with a home-made raspberry sauce. I melted some seedless raspberry jam, added a little Chambord (raspberry liqueur) and at the very end, tossed it with fresh raspberries. Topped it all off with a dollop of whipped cream. It looked very Valentine and tasted delicious. I will have it all posted tomorrow or the next day. I hope you come back again!
Carol was so sweet to invite us.
It is so much work you know before during and after…
I already knew how good she is . She invited us many times before. Not just cooking. Every thing. She has that gift . She is so highly smart and bright , she can turn everything beautiful, a text, a picture, a plant, a dish of potatoes tomatos and green beans,..
We loved the crab cakes and the corn pudding, Carl is still talking about the corn pudding and I’m nuts about potatoes especially if they are beautifully cut and served on a dish with colorful tomatoes and green beans(have you seen that picture?), Thank you Carol and David, we had a very pleasant evening and we love your dog ginger is a sweet heart and your cats are drop dead gorgeous, and the fish is unbelievable, it is all so perfect…Thanks
You are much too kind. Thanks for all the accolades. Now, my head is certainly too big for the hats we were looking at! LOL!
Do you ever try any of the old Good Housekeeping Recipes from Mildred’s heyday?
The old recipes are really fun to read, especially from the very early books, say, 1906. At the time, stoves were either wood or coal, so instructions include how to build and maintain the heat at high, medium or slow. They used ice boxes, so instructions often refer to packing items in the ice box. Mildred was very scientific in her approach to cooking. She refers to two types of adult diners, the indoor worker and the outdoor worker. An excerpt:
The first division includes those who engage in hard, muscular, outdoor work; the second includes those who are tied to a desk in a heated office, in school or in shop. The first, or out-of-door worker, with plenty of oxygen at hand and no hard brain labor, can digest more food and food difficult of digestion, because his blood supply is not called away from the digestive organs to the brain. Ha ha, sounds funny, but sort of true!
