Scared to Death! When I was a little girl, my mother would often send me to the basement to fetch an item from our large freezer chest. That seems like an easy enough task, but I had a fear of cellars, as we called them years ago. Run, Jean, Run! I’d take a deep breath...

The Tooth of the Matter Adult children have many uses. They help you discover things about yourself—some of which you’d rather not know. For instance, unlike strangers, they will point out that you have a bit of residue in your teeth. Can’t Blame It on the Tooth Fairy Clinging salad pieces are some of the...

Fire Up the Grill My daughter tells of a primal experience on the Copper River in Alaska. While casting nets from a small boat, the group snared a passing salmon, and later cooked and ate it on the riverbank. By contrast, our Ozark farm pond has only carp, bass, catfish—and turtles. Such fish, including trout,...

Oodles of Noodles There’s nothing that warms the innards quite like a well-seasoned bowl of ramen. And Nudo owner/chef Qui Tran know how to make the hearty Japanese noodle soup zing with flavor. The bowl I had recently was a curry ramen, a more recent take on the ancient dish of wheat noodles. Noodle Nibblin’:...

Seasonal Memories Along about now, my mother would commence fall cleaning. As I recall, it took a lot of elbow grease. To usher in the new season, we’d wash windows, take down screens and put up storm windows, rake leaves, flip mattresses, replace summer rugs with winter ones, change slipcovers, put away white shoes, purses,...

It was Monday and half the restaurants in town were closed—or so it seemed. I had a friend coming in from out of town, so I scoured the Internet to see where we should eat that would be new to her. I was looking for sushi, but apparently sushi makers don’t work on Monday. At...

Recently Lucy, Cyndy and I hit the road for a culinary adventure. Before it got cold, we made a trip (about a 27-mile drive) to the little, river town of Kimmswick. Kimmswick: It’s a Feeling The town is more of a Norman Rockwell scene than a pristine Walt Disney theme park village. It’s a work...

The new book, Craving Cookies, by local pastry pro, Helen S. Fletcher might well be called, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Cookie Baking, but Didn’t Know Who to Ask.” The author has the creds to tell us what to do for perfect cookies. She recently answered a few question for me. The Culinary...

Undeterred I’ve not made a beef stew for awhile, but I remember that cutting all the meat and vegetables was labor intensive. I’m convinced I could bake and ice a three-layer wedding cake in the time it takes to get everything in my Crockpot. Even so I was on a mission to make beef stew....

A Bit of Iran on Grand The great reviews of Taste of Persia sent me and my friend, Anne, off in search of the S. Grand eatery. We found it easily in what I call the Persian Triangle, because there are three of the ethnic restaurants within a block: Natasha’s, Sheesh, and Taste of Persia....
