During Mother’s Day Dinner, my daughter, Marcia, remarked how much she liked the English peas her Dad cooked that day even though she’s never liked English peas. I reminded her that she was very fond of Creamed Potatoes and English Peas I cooked for Easter Dinner. She said, “Maybe that’s it! I’m eating peas along...

A Good Neighbor(Recipe: Country Potato Bacon Soup)

I found some Yukon gold potatoes in my potato basket that needed cooking.

Following the teachings of my grandmother to “make good with what you’ve got”, I try hard to use up as much food as possible and not let it go to waste.

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 03:23:05 +0000

Frogmore Stew is shrimp, potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, and smoked sausage boiled with seasoning and served with cocktail sauce. I’m not so far out in la-la land that I don’t recognize that fine dining and rustic dining are diametrically opposed. However, rustic dining that’s really good is fine.

Our church placed a cross in the courtyard that we were to fill with fresh flowers. I had contemplated my newly planted daisies which are beautiful and bursting with...

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 22:38:21 +0000
