The table was a grand oak, and round, but with a leaf for the big dinners. The overflow sat at linen clothed card tables, in the livingroom and we kids (Timmy, Frannie, Bonnie, Paul, me and Kathy) at ours in the sewing room beyond the kitchen. English, Danish and married into ...
Here we are. Irene and I, all smiles, embarking on a culinary adventure together. Irene hired me to prepare 2 weeks of dinners for her and her husband. Fully cooked, ready to heat & eat, and all healthy and delicious! We had a blast choosing recipes. Irene chose from a few of her ...
Before Blue Apron and Hello Fresh, there were Hamburger Helper and Swanson's frozen dinners. Even before that, when I was growing up, when my father didn't have time to hunt down a brontosaurus à laFred Flintstone, my mother made do with Campbell's cream of mushroom soup and an arsena...
” The server happily got me a side of barbecue sauce for my roast chicken, and I happily enjoyed the clams, corn, the leg portion of my half chicken, the roll, and a couple bites of the redskin and sweet potatoes. I got a box for the breast portion of my chicken and the red...

I am sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience with us. For the first month we decided to keep our menu and our Roast Dinners to a minimum due to Covid and staff safety. However, we have decided to increase the size of our menu and you'll be pleased...
a recipe my mother often made for fancy dinners. After 30 extra minutes and finally pulling the bubbling beef broth out of the oven, it was only to discover I’d never added the rice. Fortunately, there was wine a’plenty and if I know nothing else, it’s how to laugh long and hard...
