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. […]
Million Dollar Pound Cake is another vintage recipe from the 1970’s. It is still a favorite. The name – Million Dollar Pound Cake – pretty well sums it up. It is yummy and delicious. Of course, now days I guess the name should be Billion Dollar Pound Cake. Hot Rod’s assessment, “Soft , moist, dense, […]
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. […]
Ever-Lovin’ loves mincemeat. One year friend BB gave Ever-Lovin’ some Walker’s Mincemeat Tarts that she had gotten at World Market. Now, every year Ever-Lovin’ makes sure he goes to World Market for his Mincemeat Tarts. He likes them. He loves them. We have a friend who does not want to be named, that makes mincemeat […]

Fall is here, and apples are abundant. Why not make a Fresh Apple Cake? This Fresh Apple Cake recipe came from my friend Mrs. Ralph- as in Ralph Lauren (She has his style and flair! – And she is also an excellent cook.). The cake is easy breezy and so delicious. When Mrs. Ralph […]
Disclaimer: I have given you this recipe once before. (Plum Tart). But today I took pictures while making a Plum Kuchen (original name for this recipe), and I thought I would share it again. It is so good. Also today, I used nectarines instead of plums (They were about $2.00 a pound cheaper than the […]
Here is another recipe from the Le Cordon Bleu MasterChef cooking class. To us it is known as a Rhubarb Crumble, but in Ireland they call it Grabhar Biabhog. I remember having rhubarb pies when I worked in Illinois, and they were always made with syrupy strawberries and rhubarb. I assumed that the pies would […]
Long, long ago on a street not too far away, a dear friend made Good Banana Pudding (That is the official name of this recipe in her family cookbook). She served said Good Banana Pudding to Ever-Lovin’, and the rest is history. Ever-Lovin’ loves, loves, loves banana pudding, and this recipe sat a new standard. […]
