Cooking delicious, new recipes is one of the pleasures of life... Bacon, butter and cream are a recipe for pleasure! (I'm a Jew, though, so we go with turkey bacon... For shame!)

I also enjoy the ritual of finding new, exciting things for my family to taste. Tonight I am mixing a block of cream cheese with fried onions, green peppers and one of those packs of frozen spinach. Salt, pepper, a little chili powder, touch of nutmeg, cream over shredded sharp cheddar, over No. 5 pasta, a little while in the oven and... We'll see!

Every day I thank my FRiend Kenny Bunk for teaching me his recipes and encouraging me to be brave in the kitchen. (Well - I worked as a chef for many years so we learned from each other!)

Many is the time we clinked glasses and said - now THAT's delicious!

Thank you for this post. Bon Appetit!

I think what I like best about food and cooking, are the surprises - trying recipes that combine things you wouldn’t think to combine, but which turn out different and wonderful. (I’m a great fan of sweet-with-savory; and I’ve found that texture in food means a lot to me.)

I think one of the reasons many of us overeat is because we’re not eating ‘diversely’ enough - our taste buds (and perhaps our bodies’ desires for nutrition) are wanting something that they aren’t finding in our routine diets...

“I’m a Jew, though...” Well God bless you! Lived in Israel for several years. Best years of my life. Miss an Israeli falafel sandwich...
