“In My Kitchen” February 2023
February is such an odd month. It’s when we start to experience the true winter blahs. The weather turns colder and more blustery. Spring seems like a long way off. At least it’s short. I really don’t have a whole lot to add for In My Kitchen this month. (In My Kitchen is a place…
Boeuf Bourginon in the Freezer for The Hundred Foot Journey
Here is a down-to-the-wire post for January’s Movies & Munchies. It’s a partially revamped post from 2015 with a new family recipe thrown in for The Hundred Foot Journey.
Tomato Two-Times Easy Pasta w/Mushrooms for Miss Cecily’s Recipes for Exceptional Ladies

Not Cooking with Fernet Branca
Cooking with Fernet Branca is the October/November selection for Cook the Books. I struggled with the novel and coming up with an inspired-by recipe. I took the easy way out with a yogurt parfait.
A Matter of Happiness (and a classic bourbon cocktail)
A Matter of Happiness tells alternating tales of a 1920s trailblazer in Detroit with her modern day descendant in Kentucky bourbon country. It’s a story of determination for both. Of course, since it is set in Kentucky, there’s lots of bourbon.
