Recently my man Dan and I traveled to California for many reasons. The #1 reason was to visit our daughter and son-in-law in Napa. Another reason we made this plan is; a few months back while dining with some great friends in Texas we were exchanging vacation ideas and talked about a trip to northern California. Our […]
A few weeks ago I shared a post telling about the mysteries going on in the hive I call Queen Charlotte at the Greensboro Science Center. The hive was weak, few bees, no brood, and no sign of a queen bee. If you read the previous post you’ll recall there were multiple queen cells and before […]

Tonight I am teaching a “honey” cooking class at the Savory Spice Shop in Greensboro. I cannot wait to share this recipe for Honey Lemon Custard. This recipe is one of the easiest and most delectable desserts I can share with the class and you. I love it so much I’d like to take a […]

If you read the SSBP post you know I pay particular attention to where my seafood comes from as well as how it was caught. I found these fresh, east coast mussels had just […]
