So deviled eggs are actually a year-round side dish in our house, because it’s one thing that everyone will eat, amazingly enough. There’s something just so…yum about deviled eggs. What is it? I rarely follow a recipe when I make them, although I sometimes use this ( Read more... )

Honestly, sometimes the parts of the meal that I like best surprise me. Yesterday we made grilled swordfish, cherry tomatoes and homemade tapenade. I wasn’t so sure I would like the tomatoes and tapenade, but was really looking forward to the swordfish. Turns out? We ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago I was in San Diego, hosted by the fabulous RWA chapter there. I went in one day early to do something I rarely get to do when I travel: sightsee. I was determined to spend one free day in San Diego, and see more than the hotel and airport. I spent all day ( Read more... )

I love fish tacos and it’s hard to find good ones where I am. Odd, since I’m near the ocean. But I’m in Maryland, and I must say that California (and Arizona and Texas) have much better fish tacos than around me. So I went searching for a recipe, and came up with this ( Read more... )
