There’s this little tradition that’s come up. A cheesecake one. You all know my status as a cheesecake aficionado/connoisseur. I take cheesecake very seriously. Look at me. VERY seriously. So, Tucker (my lil bro) is in the Navy. Means we don’t see him very much. When he comes home, I find it to be an excellent excuse…
A St. Augustine Memorial
A LONG while ago…we took a trip down to Penney Farms, Florida to visit Kara’s grandfather. He’s 90 and doesn’t travel anymore so we brought the party to him (or lack thereof, we’re not really partiers) for Memorial Day weekend. Penney Farms is a retirement community. And it’s about 45 minutes away from Jacksonville and…
Lemon Meringue Pie
See, now….I’m sure in every family cookbook, there’s a recipe for Lemon Meringue Pie. It’s been passed down through the generations and invokes memories with just one bite. (sort of like that scene in Ratatouille) I LOVE that movie, and not just because the chef’s name is Remy. I’m off on a tangent. Back to…
Grilled Corn Salad
Summertime. It’s really hot. Summertime also means grilling out a lot (at least in my house it does). Burgers, hot dogs, pork chops, veggies, fish, etc. So how about a crisp, smoky, cool salad to go along with those juicy burgers? Instead of the ole stand by of corn on the cob… This is super…
Buttermilk Pie
Back with a vengeance!!! We’re mostly settled in the new home. So awesome that our closing/moving date was on the 2nd hottest day on record in Knoxville. High of 104…and we’re moving a truckload of furniture. AND the A/C in the U-Haul was out. Guess who had heat rash at the end of the day?…
The Original Mast General Store
A little while ago, we took a trip over to Blowing Rock, NC and I mentioned the Mast General store. Residents of Knoxville know now that we have our own nifty Mast store downtown on Gay Street. It’s a great all-purpose store. You know…for general stuff. Valle Crucis, NC is a hop-skip-and a jump away…
“Restaurant” Pancakes
First thing’s first… Ahhhh….that’s so much better. Now, where was I? Oh yes, the pancake. Is there a more simple breakfast pleasure? To me, pancakes mean Saturday morning. Delicious cup of coffee, some crispy bacon, and a stack of spongy pancakes that soak up all the syrup within a ten mile radius. Humor me for…
Quaintness – You’re doing it right
Every year if time permits, we like to go visit my Nana in Blowing Rock. You see, Nana is awesome. She was married to my Papa for almost 40 years before he passed away back in 2002. And she still fiercely loves him and talks about him as if he hung the moon. She treats…
