We have actually done some grilling this past week, but absolutely no turning on the oven. Remember last week’s takeout? Well, after working all day, I’m thinking of doing a repeat with…

Southern Hotness!
Yikes! As I write this it is 98 with a heat index of 105! That is actually not as hot as it was supposed to be today. Of course, the day is not over. When it is this hot, turning on the oven is just not something I want to do. Actually, cooking with any…

Southern Seashell Memories
My heart is breaking when I see the destruction caused by the oil leak in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. It makes me want to return to a better time, gathering seashells along the beach and using them in a tablescape. The shells used in this tablescape were gathered by my friend Darlene. A lighthouse,…

Southern Table in the Garden
As I have been working today, I have noticed the pink flowers pouring over the fence in the back. It reminds me of when I put in my garden last year as these flowers were blooming. Alas, I am not putting in my regular garden this year. I am gardening in pots. Too much going…

More Southern Porch Stuff
I’ll have to admit, when ever it is even the least little bit warm enough, I’m ready to move it outside. I love having morning coffee on the porch, lunch on the porch, dinners on the porch. I’ll even try to arrange to have meetings on the porch. Anything to be out enjoying the sunshine!…

Southern Respite
During the week, breakfast is kind of a hit and miss sort of deal around here. More often than not, I grab something as I am sitting here at my computer with a cup of coffee as I am working. Weekends, though, are another matter. Even though there is plenty to be done on the…
