It’s a potent concept that can strike those who least expect it. Yes, friends, it happened to my non-cooking, food loving husband on a recent business trip to New Orleans. He came home raving and craving the grilled oysters smothered in butter and cheese that he and his client slurped down together ...
Kitchen Chronicles
My Decorated Masterpieces
I’m too impatient to enjoy piping and flooding sugar cookies alone. In fact, I find it tedious and virtually impossible. I know some of you feel differently and look at the art of cookie decorating as therapeutic. But for those of us with a shaky hand (especially after a few too many cups of coffee) ...
Slow and Steady Wins the Race (the latke making race) — GIVEAWAY
Suzy showed up for our latke cooking date yesterday in her old t-shirt and jeans, leaving her nice fleece zip up in the car so the distinct scent of canola oil wouldn’t have a comfy place to settle in. I also wore an old t-shirt and sweatpants, sure that I would need a change of clothes before I ...
Imperfect Little Meatballs in My Kitchen Aid
If you can believe it, my friend Debbie and I started cooking and freezing hors d’oeuvres for the holidays and the clock hadn’t yet struck December. We usually make crab cakes, caramelized onion squares and lamb meatballs but this year we wanted to change things up a bit. So we consulted Cooks ...

It took a bit of time to get into our groove this year, as my Dad needed to adjust himself to having me in his compact NYC city kitchen. Plus, I started things off on the wrong track when I removed a loaf of his rising ...
Keeping it Light
While sipping my coffee, the photo on the cover of the Dining section of this mornings’ New York Times grabbed my attention. With my imminent visit to Manhattan to view the inflation of the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade balloons, I found the image of the balloon guy chowing down on a turkey leg ...
Shop Early at PotsandPans.com
I just got word of an amazing sale which starts the day before Thanksgiving, NOT the day after. Why wait until Black Friday to shop! I've already started my holiday shopping and can't wait to take a look at PotsandPans.com tomorrow for their pre-holiday sale. I've been told there will be a "30-70 ...
Like an Old Married Couple
Cooking with Kathe for Thanksgiving was fun as always. With pots, pans, baking dishes and countless ingredients strewn about the countertops, we were Tazmanian Devils spinning feverishly around the kitchen moving from one prep station to the next, making cranberry bread, carrot muffins, stuffing and ...
