Deadline for the CSN Giveaway is Friday, March 4th. Winter came back for the day on Wednesday, dropping about eight inches of snow.The perfect day for staying in and playing in the kitchen.    I boned out a whole (double) chicken breast and stuffed it with my regular sage bread stuffing.      Since I had…

Until yesterday I would have said that winter was just a memory.   Spring was definitely here.   Cherry Blossoms  were out in Victoria, and,  around here,  gardens were starting to bloom with some of the earlier flowers, like crocus and snow drops have been out for weeks. Winter was definitely back yesterday.  Victoria had its first…

We had “Greek” again this week.  This made Moe really happy because I actually made him a  salad. If you have been reading my blog for a while you have probably noticed the absence of salads.   I can make them, I just don’t care for them.  Food should be satisfying and I  get no satisfaction…
