Up to 14” of snow predicted. Hasn’t started yet. I went down to our neighborhood market and bought a few items.
Update Sunday 4:57 am the snow started in the night and I just heard from my friend Joanne who told me about Storm Chips
How storm chips became a bad-weather staple in Atlantic Canada
Here’s a photo of a bag of Storm Chips her friend Colleen just purchased in Nova Scotia as prep for this week’s weather.
I bought a loaf of marble rye at the Bryant Street market this morning. When I went to make a sandwich with a couple of slices, they were staring at me.

I made and photographed a Rainbow Jell-o recipe in a Bundt pan as the mold. A clear layer then the other portion with a bit of yogurt. Took hours as each layer had to set before you could pour in the next.
I thought I had a future in abstract photography using jell-o 😂
I’m trying to get into the Sourdough baking rhythm/routine.
These loaves were recipes from a cookbook I took out of the library
Classic Sourdoughs
by Ed Wood, Jean Wood
Next time I’m not going to do two different recipes simultaneously.
My friends Linda and Eileen baked a delicious fruitcake and shipped it before Christmas. I guarded it carefully and was waiting for my sister to arrive for a visit. She arrived on the train from NYC Tuesday night. Tonight I unwrapped the liquor soaked muslin and sliced it by candlelight. We each ate a piece, savoring the fruits and nuts that were perfectly delicious.
Do you like fruitcake? Not everyone does. We enjoy it immensely. Thank you Linda and Eileen. Voted Best Fruitcake in the USA!

I always wanted to try this. Buy this. But I never did.
I’d eaten Irish butter, Danish Butter and German butter before. But never Italian.
Oh my, it was so good on a piece of toast.
Five stars!
These already prepared Black Eyed Peas (no soaking) were an impulse buy. I didn’t want to do major cooking. When I lived in Georgia decades ago I remember going to the General’s Quarters on New Year’s Day and that’s where I learned about the traditional dish. They weren’t a part of my growing up. Eating a spoonful insures good luck for the new year.

There are tons of recipes with ham hocks, sausage or bacon too.
Look what our friend and blog follower Tookie baked and brought up the the house. Her delicious almond cake. Wonderful with coffee, tea or a little scoop of vanilla ice cream. Perfect timing with houseguests ready to share. I knew how good it would taste as I’ve been fortunate to receive her almond cake previous Christmases.
Recently my friend Vincie sent a NY Times article about the comfort of taking a Signature Dish everytime when going to a party. Her family and friends are always counting on her making Black Bean Salsa and also her signature Broccoli Casserole for holiday meals. When I then sent the article on to my friend Joanne, she was preparing her signature dish of deviled eggs to take to a party.
Are you known for a certain dish that you share?
