Today, we visited Vroman's one of our favorite bookstores in Pasadena, CA... no, we did not go to the Wine Bar, but I did manage to get another cookbook.Not sure, but if I counted right, I would be very close to having this as number 100. I need to have a recount count. Last time I counted I did not include the ones in my home office that I am in the middle of always reading. Hence Diane graciously reminded me today: "...another cookbook..."? Told her there are three recipes she would love. Needless to say, on the way home she asked about it and let her know.In case you are wondering it is called "From the Oven to The Table". I do a lot of baked meals and it is easy to do and tastes better than boiling or sauteing.Yes, there are many wonderful baked recipes, just to tease you, beets, sa...

Throwback Thursdays: Love "One Drive" the photos keep on coming... sometimes it is a distraction because I click on it and then I am motivated to see other photos and spend some time reflecting on the past.This of course can be a huge distraction and not what I intended on doing. I am very obsessive and compulsive about time management, hence I could say "One Drive is not my friend." Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

I often get asked “So what can you build on this lot?” or statements like “This lot is not buildable.”I smile and just shake my head and take the trouble of advising the potential buyer or the potential buyer’s agent to reach out to a savvy hillside architect and they will help and will be pleasantly surprised at the answer they get.Some listen, others just move on. Today, I ran into a post that happened to share this Los Angeles Times Article. I enjoyed reading it and it just confirmed what I have been saying for the past 26+ years. Please check out this article  https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2023-11-20/building-home-on-a-steep-hill-and-constrained-lot-in-los-angeles Once you read it come back and let me know your thoughts😊I hope this changes your mind about those “unbuildabl...

The Traditional Pasta with Clam Sauce from Italy is with Spaghetti and white clam sauce.Gratefully I have many Pasta cookbooks. I used a combination of old traditional Italian recipes with a more modern version Pasta Modern: New and Inspired recipes from Italy and I bought it up to the next level.I am a firm believer that the ingredients make a huge difference. If you cook with top-of-the-line pasta it makes a difference.If you add top of the line ingredients the flavors are so much better. Now to bring it up to the next level let me share my thoughts. Truffle infused pasta; truffle infused olive oil. Then add one black tru...

Thank you, Debe Maxwell, CRS , for inspiring me to write these gratefulness posts. I was not sure if I would be able to do all four, but I managed to get it done. Thank you again.Now with that said, I am so grateful for being in such a good place financially, that we can afford a great deal of luxury when it comes to cooking and eating gourmet food, to name one subject. Just as a background, I have managed to collect, as most of my regular readers know over 190 + cookbooks in the past 29 years. Some were gifts from friends and Active Rain peeps, they know who they are so I will not embarrass them😊. Many of these cookbooks were written by Michelin rated Chefs whose restaurants we had the pleasure of dining in. Not just here in the United States but in Europe as well. Honorable mentions g...
