Home Cooking in Italy
For the time I was in Livorno,Italy I became very spoiled! My friend cooked for me lunch and dinner Tuscan style, fresh simple cooking from the freshest of ingredients. Cooking was quick, simple and delicious. Meals were simple, prepared simply with minimal use of pots and pans. I can take some lessons since when I cook the recipes have many ingredients and by the time I am done preparing the recipe my kitchen is a mess with dirty bowls, pots and pans!
A visit to the Mercato for meat and freshly pressed hamburgers made to order were on the menu often! …
King of the Corn
grilled corn on the cob from myrecipes.com
When I think about summer cookouts I think pasta salad and corn on the cob. As a kid it was often my job to shuck the corn before tossing it into the steamer.

Clover Food Lab!
When last I wrote about Food Trucks, Needham had its own food truck but just for the season when the weather was good. Then they went away and never came back to Needham the following year. I was so excited the suburbs had a food truck. My excitement was short lived.
I thought most food trucks disappeared when the weather got rough, but I learned such is not the case! Food and Cupcake Trucks grace our streets all year long regardless of the weather. I really need to leave my computer more and check out the wide variety of food trucks …
Living in Each Day
A few weeks after I completed treatment for my first cancer I joined friends for lunch. The conversation soon turned to early retirement plans among those who had government jobs.
As I listened, I couldn’t help wondering if planning for retirement was something I had to concern myself about. I was still focusing on getting through the days from one post-treatment follow up appointment to the other. It was easier living in each day, not projecting, getting done whatever I needed and wanted to do was enough for me.
Short-term planning, such as how to get my strength back and fulfilling personal and business commitments made prior to …
Moonakis- Oh What a Breakfast!
When I want to treat myself to something special, I take myself to Moonakis in Waquoit, MA for breakfast. I love the menu and their specials are fantastic but when it comes down to it I always order the same thing! I don’t even have to place my order all they have to do is look at me and write down, short stack plain pancakes!
