Kickin’ It Cold-School: Cold Salad & Pudding Parfait
It is so hot and humid here it feels like a sauna outside. 112 F is too hot for man and beast! It was so hot that we didn’t eat breakfast. At lunchtime, I looked outside to see sweat drenched people rushing from car to building and decided I didn’t need to eat then either….

Strawberry Lemon Marmalade
Strawberry Lemon Marmalade is one of my favorite spreads. It is not too tart and not too sweet. It qualifies as marmalade is the zest that is in it. Let me warn you now, it is labor intensive but oh so worth it! I would say it tastes a bit like Sweet Tart candy. I’m…
