have such things as cream cheese, peanut butter, broccoli rabe, corn flakes, and eggs being thrown at us. And that’s just some of the things. The rest I’ve blocked out, fearing a relapse and a possible return to the...

Chocolate dipped strawberries – hands down! This year I may turn my small crock into a fondue pot and have other items skewered for easy and NO fuss dipping fun! Even the macaroons! Easy vege: cut up a bunch of root veges...

beef or pastrami, and sauce should be on the side, if at all. It’s all about the rub and the mop. It can also be chicken, though that’s trickier. My dad used to be the pit master for church barbecues and would make...

Halibut poached in butter or goose fat vs. braised pork belly ... I wouldn’t want to have both in one meal so I’ll probably never decide which is more delightful.

is wonderful; they seem to have a real connection. The food is glorious too. That fish in all that butter! Oh god, glorious!
