Lightened New England clam chowder. 3/26/22
This clam chowder recipe is an adaptation of Gabrielle Hamilton’s from an article in The NY Times. Hers, I am sure, is delicious but contained way too much cream and oil for us. So I slimmed the recipe down to … Continue reading

BFD – Breakfast For Dinner. 3/20/22
For this Sunday’s BFD I decided to make an arugula salad and top it with a scrambled egg. I accompanied my bowl with a piece of rye toast with melted ultra thin cheddar. John had his usual omelet and we … Continue reading
St. Patrick’s Day! 3/17/22
My paternal grandfather was born on St. Patrick’s Day in 1890. Not only would a lot of dinners that I cook seem totally bizarre to him but there is no way my grandmother could have found the ingredients with which … Continue reading

Chicken dinner. 3/14/22
This homey chicken dinner reminds me of Thanksgiving, but easier. The rotisserie chicken I buy from Costco is not the whole bird but their vacuum packed offering of cooked breast meat. I divide the package in half (about 1 lb. … Continue reading
