A guest blog

Friend and blog follower Kristin and her husband Rick are visiting Australia. While snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef they saw this wine bottle covered with barnacles. And guess what! They thought of me.

Yes it’s a great find for a post. Thank you

Silent Sunday (a Day Early)

My friend Vincie just wrote an email to inform me that I’m a day ahead of myself and it’s only SATURDAY-not Sunday. Ooops. and I just hung up a new 2026 calendar on the kitchen wall. Guess it would help if I looked at it!

Anyway I like this photo from the archives and maybe I’ll post a second Silent Sunday tomorrow on the correct day of the week.

A Spoonful for Luck in the New Year

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.

I’m ready for January first
