Thanksgiving is my favorite meal of the year, but I’m never satisfied. It’s not because we don’t have enough food. It’s because we have too much. It’s the sheer quantity of selections that leaves me wanting more of one thing or the other. But there’s no room for a second bite! And I didn’t cook so there were no leftovers.

I know it won’t be long before I resemble this bird — stuffed and exhausted — so I just want to say as we approach Thanksgiving that I am thankful for many things.

Swordfish sausage sounds so interesting. It looks so pretty. But does it pass the taste test? Continue Reading
I seem to be thinking about Spain a lot these days as witnessed by my last few posts. Perhaps I’m channeling my ancestors. Or, perhaps I’m subconsciously psyching myself for another trip to the Motherland. One can hope for the latter. 
Whatever the reason, it makes for good eats! And while I couldn’t set a chair for each of you at the table, I hope you’ll feel like you were there …perhaps even be inspired to create a similarly themed dinner in your home?
