"Are you done yet? Are you done yet?" Hubby was like a toddler on a long road trip. Only it was not the boredom or the distance that drove him to impatience and me to insanity. In his case, the culprit was the lip-smacking, finger-licking dinner I made and was photographing, so I could share it with you. He was driving me crazy! "One more minute, dear," I kept calming … [Read more...]

My sister and one of my nieces travel a lot. And I mean A-L-O-T. When I grow up I want to be cool just like them. Every time they go to a new country they come back with a bagful of new recipe ideas.
