Posted on July 30, 2010 by terry

As I’ve visited vintage food sites, it’s been interesting to not only see, but to read about what folks were eating back in the day. One of the things I noticed – aside from the shocking number of jello salads … Continue reading →

‘Teh Garden’ in Morning…

Posted on July 26, 2010 by terry

Steak and Chop Marinade

Posted on July 24, 2010 by terry

Soup an’ Sammiches an’ Stuff

Posted on July 23, 2010 by terry

I still have my minions working on a table of contents/recipe index thingy. We THINK we may have a solution, but it’s tied up in the QC Testing and General Hobnobbing committee (QTaGH) – they assure me it’s the next, … Continue reading →

Buffalo Chicken Chili

Posted on July 22, 2010 by terry
