I read a version of this recipe – Mango Cucumber Salad – on Mennonite Girls Can Cook’s blog this week and could not wait to try it. Mainly I wanted to make it because Ever-Lovin’ likes mangos, and I was trying to impress him on Father’s Day. He declared this salad “good stuff” – which […]
For Mother’s Day, Ever-Lovin’ smoked ribs in my honor. They were fantastic. I was happy, appreciative, and full. Ever-Lovin’s recipe is based on a recipe from John McLemore’s “Dadgum That’s Good!” cookbook. The store did not have “baby-back ribs” which is what he usually uses. These ribs were a little meatier. Ever-Lovin’ cooked three slabs […]
Cinco de Mayo has come and gone, but the Living Stones are prepared to celebrate a day late on our monthly excursion to the Well. The Living Stones travel to Oak Cliff once a month to share a meal with our friends at the Well. We have eagerly been preparing. Excellent cook Nancy cooked twelve […]
Do you ever have a hankerin’ to make a certain something? How do I describe this? It is not that I am hungry for this certain thing. (Ever-Lovin’ and I can not and should not eat an entire pan of lemon bars.) I want to make it or bake it, and share it with somebody. […]

Of course, now days I guess the name should be Billion Dollar Pound Cake. Hot Rod’s assessment, “Soft , moist, dense, […]

Love to watch the TV series Downton Abbey. The Buds (friends) gather to watch the show each Sunday night. Before this season of Downton Abbey began, excellent cook Nancy (also a Downton Abbey fan) sent me an email that had a menu and recipes for a Downton Abbey Premier Party from Food 52. Several […]
My love affair with potato soup began many, many, many years ago. Although many, many, many years ago I did not know it was potato soup. Back story: Aunt Nela was my mother’s sister. To say that she was a fantastic cook would be an understatement. Sweet Mother of Pearl! Could she ever cook, bake, […]
I love this cheese ball. I adore this cheese ball. It might be my most favoritest cheese ball I make. I really really wanted to make this cheese ball before Christmas, but…. It is easy breezy, but somehow it did not get made. So today I made it anyway. Maybe we can have it […]
First order of business. Augh-h-h-h! The computer gremlins are here again. My post from yesterday, did not go to the email subscribers. In that post, The Mrs. (my dear friend) shared her North Dallas home with us. It is beautiful, and if you want to see this home tour, click on this link. The Mrs. […]
