Cold weather calls for comfort foods
While we aren’t really into traditional cold weather here in our little home on the mountain, there was a nip in the air today. I took a walk over the acreage to see leaves already coating the ground mingled with a heavy blanket of pine needles and cones. We are expecting a light frost the…

Fall has arrived
Normally we have warm weather near until winter and many times into mid January. This year hurricane Ian must have pushed milder weather into Alabama. I have to say it is a wonderful relief from the near no rain, humid high 90s we have endured this summer. There have been fall like blustery winds and…

Chocolate Bananas
One of my favorite childhood memories involves chocolate bananas. My father was an avid Earnest Hemingway fan. His favorite book was The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. As far back as I can remember we took an annual road trip to Key West for a two week stay on the island. This was…

Raspberry infused goodness
I remember images from long ago of large groups of people celebrating in a massive hall of a castle. Whether it was a holiday or a victory or some other important event it always centered around a table laden with food. The centerpiece of that table would be a large platter with a whole roast…

Another year
….of canning fig preserves came to a close today. I managed 50.5 pints preserves and 6 pint syrup as the final total. That’s a couple pints short from last year but I still have 6 of those pints left so there are plenty. I’m just not certain we will get a second harvest to share…
