Louisa made her famous Kitchen Cabinet Cake today. When it cools, I just can't wait.

We took a couple of weeks off for vacation. Be back soon. "till then, we are working on a recipe for Baked Stuffed Clams. There have been so many "hits" on them, we thought it appropriate to post a recipe. But as always, nothing is posted until we are satisfied with the recipe and it tastes really good.

12/23/10 - Christmas Greeting
Christmas is just about here So to all the readers of this blog - Merry Christmas, and to those of you that don't celebrate it - Happy Holliday. See you all after the new year.

9/26/10- Addition :
A link has been added to an auxillery blog that delves into the interesting and sometimes unusual things that make life easier while cooking. "TIPS" give it a look! It will be updated as topics of relevence are remembered. Thanks for your patients.

9/22/10 - Changes :
The header picture has been changed; the winter scene seemed too cold. Hopefully the serenity of the placid water is more soothing and appealing.

9/6/10 - Home prepared Meat.

Well we went to the grocery and bought about 20 lbs of pork chops, 18 lbs. of chicken breasts and 25 lbs of chicken leg quarters. On sale no less. Well out of the pork, we managed about 6 nice pork chops, the rest I cut off the bones and cleared most of the fat and ground it into ground pork. It is so much nicer knowing what goes into your ground meat. And of course the pork was NOT INJECTED/Tenderized.

As far as the chicken goes, the legs always come with the backs, excess fat and sometimes even the tail, all of which was removed before freezing. The breasts were much better, not much in the line of waste, but a good washing and into packages of two before freezing.

This is one of our ways of dealing with the bad economy along with providing ourselves with better food.

We also grind our own chicken and turkey, when it’s on sale.
