Here's a shocker: I started blogging ten years ago today. Ten years! And now, a gazillion posts and one cookbook later, I'm ready to hang up my hat. Maybe I'll retire to Florida and take up golfing. Maybe I'll sit on a park bench and yell at the clouds. Just...

I'm on a lemon kick. As you might recall, last week I offered you an addicting batch of Lemon Wheel Cookies. For dinner last night, I served old-world Chicken and Lemon Polpettine. And for lunch today, I tucked into a plate of Linguine al Limone. Here's the step-by-step recipe for...

Bake a batch of sugar cookies, dip them in Limoncello-infused icing, top them with a round of candied lemon, and what will you have? Lemon Wheel Cookies! (Or should I call them "Pucker-Up Cookies"?) You might like to serve these lemonicious beauties at tea-time. Alternatively, you could transport them to...

I'm addicted to Caramelized Onions. The dark-bronze, candy-sweet strands are almost too delicious for words. I love them on pizza. I love them on hamburgers and steaks. Heck, I even love them on a bologna sandwich! Easy to make? Yes. All you need is the patience of a saint: Thanks for...

Do you have drip-irrigation installed on your property? If so, then I have some questions for you! First up, did you install the system yourself? And next; do the water lines require annual maintenance? Read on, and I'll show you three of the gardens at Clover Hill where drippy-drip-drips are...

A firm, cookie-like crust...a soft, citrussy center...a crown of sweetly whipped cream...can you blame me for wanting to share this Persian Lime Pie with you? Note: I ate half of the pie as soon as I'd finished filming the recipe. Another note: My friend Brenda J. took the remaining pie home...
