A Time To Celebrate
Hello my friends and followers…I wanted to take a second to let you all know I’ve not forgotten my responsibility as a food blogger. Tomorrow Miss T will graduate from high school and begin the next journey in her life. With a house full of company, a holiday weekend, a big reason to celebrate, food, laughter, family and friends my blog will be taking a back seat for the next day or two.
I hope that all of you have enjoyed a relaxing long weekend and are ready for summer. Thanks for dropping in and check back soon as I’ve got many more bee stories and recipes to share with you. I’ll be going through a large box of tissues tomorrow evening as my baby girl walks the stage but what an exciting time in her life! I plan on relishing every moment of it with her.
Enjoy!

The Cake That Was Not Meant To Be Photographed
Today I’m taking the vintage quest to New Mexico. I have a copy of a cook book named New Mexico Cookin’, published in 1976. Notice the cost was $1.29. I challenge you to find a new cookbook for so little money. This book came from the collection of my hubby’s great-aunt Esther. She was a very good cook, traveled about the U.S. and Mexico with her husband Clyde, wore false eyelashes, hats of all kinds, and flamboyant costume jewelry. (more…)

Lily Wallace Corn Pudding
I’m getting a kick out of reading the recipes in my old cook books. I admit it’s a bit of a challenge to find ones that I want to make and know we will enjoy eating. The book I used today is The Lily Wallace New American Cook Book. Lily Haxworth Wallace is listed as Editor-in-Chief and the copyright is 1945. This book was given to me in the late 80’s by a neighbor whose name was Vivian. She was a beautiful and classy older woman who recognized my love for cooking. (more…)

Gama’s Buttermilk Pie
I promised “vintage” recipes for the month of May. I looked up the word vintage in the dictionary and turns out it is a word used to describe wine. This may not be news to you, my savvy readers, but it was to me…in that it isn’t descriptive of other things with age. Below is the description I found in the dictionary on my iMac.
vintage |ˈvintij|noun
the year or place in which wine, esp. wine of high quality, was produced.
• a wine of high quality made from the crop of a single identified district in a good year. • literary wine
• the harvesting of grapes for winemaking.• the grapes or wine produced in a particular season.
• the time that something of quality was produced: rifles of various sizes and vintages.
adjective
of, relating to, or denoting wine of high quality: vintage claret.
• denoting something of high quality, esp. something from the past or characteristic of the best period of a person’s work: a vintage Sherlock Holmes adventure.ORIGIN late Middle English: alteration (influenced by vintner) of earliervendage, from Old French vendange, from Latin vindemia (from vinum‘wine’ + demere ‘remove’).
I began to think, should I call it antique recipe month? (more…)

I Hate Chiggers
Well, I’m just going to start by saying a weekend away does wonders for the soul, relaxes the body, strengthens the bonds, and allows time for reflection. My weekend away with the girls was marvelous. What a superb and interesting group of women I spent my weekend with.

Berry Berry Delicious
I’m outta here! Temporarily, that is. I will be heading out-of-town later this week with a bunch of girlfriends to have girl time and fun times down at the river. The Guadalupe River in Texas is a wonderful place to unwind, relax, chill out, call it what you like. (more…)

Brownie With A Bite
With April being declared the month of sweets I don’t seem to be posting as often as I would like. The flip side to that thought is, I would have too many sweets covering the kitchen counter or the dining table and filling up my tummy. (more…)
