Evaporated Corn Pudding
There are two things I most remember about evaporated milk. First, it was the creamer for my Mom and Dad’s morning coffee. There was always a little can of Carnation Evaporated Milk in the refrigerator with two small holes punched in the top, and my folks used that along with some sugar for their coffee. The second memory involves my Uncle Jim’s recipe for homemade ice cream. Instead of milk … [Read more...]
Pizza Stuffed Shells
Is there anybody who doesn’t like pizza? If so, I’ve never met this strange person. Pizza is just good stuff. Recently, I saw a recipe idea for Pizza Stuffed Shells, and I knew that the children of a family I do a little cooking for would love this dish. They did. It turned out great. This is a dish that can be assembled ahead and stored in the fridge, or you can whip it together in about 30 … [Read more...]

My Best Ever Ribs
Every time I cook ribs, I believe I use a different recipe. Sometimes they are good, sometimes not as good, but it’s pretty hard to screw up baby back ribs unless they are raw or burned. However, I have found there is a fine line between cooking ribs into oblivion and having them both well done and juicy. I cooked a rack of baby back ribs this week, and they were near perfect. They were … [Read more...]
I Wing My Way
I think wings might be my favorite part of the chicken. They are highly regarded by others, as well. Americans eat over one billion chicken wings per year. That’s billion with a “B”. We like wings because, first they taste good, and second, they are easy to eat and a specialty of the thousands and thousands of sports bars around the country. Because of an unending demand for chicken wings, they … [Read more...]
Some Like it Hot
On the day our Delta flight touched down in Hawaii, Mona Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, erupted after a 38-year sabbatical. A series of earthquakes had triggered an explosion of molten lava from the center of the earth. Someone had crossed paths with Pele. Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes and fire, is said to have the sole power to create life through destruction. Only she … [Read more...]
Thar’ She Blows
We had signed up for a sunset cruise and a whale watching excursion through the Pacific Whale Foundation on our first evening in Maui. We went one for two. There was no sunset that evening. There was a nice cloud-set, as it had been unusually overcast that day, but the sun was nowhere to be found. There were, however, whales to be watched – two adult humpback whales and one of their … [Read more...]
Chick-fil-A Sandwich (almost as good)
Sunday is often our night to order out – maybe a pizza or a fancy sandwich. When I think of a fancy sandwich, I think of a big, fat Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich. Then I remember it’s Sunday and Chick-fil-A is not a Sunday option. They value their employee’s time, and they are closed on Sundays. Good for them, but bad for me. I really wanted one of those Chick-fil-A sandwiches. … [Read more...]
Janice’s Chicken Lombardy
My long-time friend, Janice Kaltenbach (Aunt Remus), is one of the best cooks I’ve ever been around. Her fried chicken is second to none, nobody makes better potato salad, and her pralines are so yummy they should be illegal. When Janice shares a recipe or says something she made was good, I pay attention. So, when she told me that she had a delicious chicken recipe. I begged her for it and … [Read more...]
