I’ve got to admit, it has been a while since we took our goods on the road. Life gets busy and have been enjoying our volunteering with the foreign officer program. However when our church announced a “Gift & Gourmet” event, we couldn’t...

I love to expand my horizons. Texas is known for its big skies, but I’m talking about flavor horizons beyond the curve of the Earth. One of the most priveldged opportunities that have been offered us is to befriend foreign officers in the the DLI (Defense...

My postings and Farmer’s Market appearances had been very quiet this summer. We were busy packing and putting our home in Laytonville up for sale. I am a literally “born & bred” Californian through all my family’s travels, but we knew it...

Nigella Seed isn’t something I grew up with. Rather it was one of those “Superfoods” I read about, but never saw in the spice aisle. While perusing a gourmet food store in Healdsburg, CA I found a tin of it and brought it home to discover. The seeds...

Butter is something that any home cook takes for granted. Just always keep it on hand and enjoy it in baking, sautéing and even roasting. Though I mostly use olive oil in my cooking, butter is my “must have” luxury. Lately my daughter and I have been...

Growing up in my teens I remember the wonders of home dried snacks. Mom would corner the market on bananas and we’d have sweet crunchy banana chips. Next thing you know apples on our trees would be ready and out comes the handy dandy corer peeler machine. The...
