A Culinary Adventure for the Entire Family
Thursday, October 4th is ‘National Taco Day’. Like many other ethnic foods, Tacos have become as American as Apple Pie, although Apple Pie actually originated in England. Just like people, there are many variations of tacos. If you want authentic tacos, try going to Olvera Street in Downtown Los Angeles where there are many Mexican […]
MY CULINARY DIARY Monday, June 26, 2012 I just love Summer and all the ripe fruit and vegetables that are available. I also love the fact that we can eat lighter meals and feel satisfied doing so. Tonight’s dinner was in fact one of those wonderful salads […]
MY CULINARY DIARY Sunday, June 24, 2012 Today was a Culinary Half-Marathon. Since we were almost out of bread, I decided to make some Country White Bread. I once got a T-Shirt at one conference or another that had the White Lily Flour Logo on it. I had never actually ever used White Lily […]

Tomatoes have long been a favorite fruit of mine, especially when I grow them. During the winter months however, we have to resort to hothouse or imported tomatoes. Aside from fresh, tomatoes come in endless preparations. Besides, canned tomatoes, puree, crushed and paste there is a product called Tomato Powder. Some time ago I purchased […]
Shellfish is one of my favorite foods and when it is available at reasonable prices I can’t pass it up. Our local warehouse store has bags of Calamari, Shrimp, Scallops and Mussels (Seafood Blend) at a reasonable price. It was a 3.5 lb. bag and I was able to get by with using only half […]
