Cookie Hooky Day!

Filed in Delaware by on December 16, 2013 2 Comments

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m really far behind this holiday season!  Today I took my daughter out of school for a cookie hooky day.  Chocolate chips, peanut butter, sugar cookies and chocolate-orange- coffee truffles are on the agenda.  Guess I’ll start shopping tomorrow! If you’re done all this stuff… that makes me […]

Merry Christmas Eve!

Filed in Delaware by on December 24, 2012 20 Comments

I don’t have any recipes to share this year because I decided (after 20 years of cooking Christmas Eve dinner) to give myself a present and have tonight catered – nothing extravagant, just good food from a small local restaurant.  I even went to Fulton’s and purchased high quality disposable plates.  I’m feeling a bit guilty, but extremely relaxed and am actually looking forward to being part of the celebration this year.

I want to wish all our contributors and commenters a wonderful holiday and thank them for making DL a great place to hang out!

So… what are everyone’s plans?  And if your cooking, feel free to share your amazing recipes!

Happy Thanksgiving – Let’s Cook!

Filed in Delaware by on November 22, 2012 10 Comments

I have some time before the teenagers wake up, so I thought I’d try and put up a Thanksgiving foodie thread!  This year I’m trying some new recipes, along with my son’s favorites – since he just returned home from college and deserves some special treatment!

I’m sticking with Turkey as the main course, but having some fun with the side dishes.

Just the possibility of snow brings out the kid in me.  And while I know this isn’t the most convenient time for a major snowstorm – and I still have a gazillion things to do – I’m secretly thrilled.  So in the spirit of you can’t control the weather here’s Lena Horne performing my favorite […]

Happy Juneteenth

Filed in National by on June 19, 2009 16 Comments

Juneteenth is a holiday that many people don’t know about.  From Wikipedia: Though the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued on September 22, 1862, with an effective date of January 1, 1863, it had minimal immediate effect on most slaves’ day-to-day lives, particularly in Texas, which was almost entirely under Confederate control. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, […]
