Christmas (and Thanksgiving, but we don’t celebrate that here) is right around the corner. I’m still surprised how fast these Christmases come and go and how much changes over a year. Seems that the older I get, the more changes. Or maybe that’s just me? When I saw a basic recipe for cauliflower and potato mash in a supermarket magazine, I wondered what it would be like to mix that…
I already expected a lot of laughs when I got a package from my girl Teri. Why? Oh, I don’t know. Call it gut-feeling, call it intuition, call it a sixth-sense.

I could almost imagine the characteristic taste the sweet caramelized onions would add to the fluffy mashed potatoes, and the fantastic scent that would arise would…
Those Christmas recipes are popping up like daisies. Don’t you just love it? It’s my favorite thing to cook up and photograph because it’s all such pretty and unique food. A few months ago I ran into a recipe for grilled potato slices in a women’s magazine. Made a mental note and then shoved it to the back of my brain. Where it emerged from the dark dungeons of my…
