I have experimented with ice cream flavors since buying my Wally World churner several years ago. At first I made the “usual” stuff: chocolate, strawberry, vanilla. Then one year my Jaboticaba tree flourished and I used some for ice cream. One year we were having guests and I asked for their favorite flavor which was…
Some years we have a LOT of avocado, and like zucchini or tomatoes in the midwest, we annoy our friends and neighbors by trying to gift them some fruit. We just had a wind storm and 40 or more of them were on the ground. After dumping them on our friends, I tried to think…
Today is DH’s 64th birthday, and I wanted to make something special for dinner. I had a taste for green papaya salad, and so I bought a (I thought) green papaya at the grocery today. But, it was not green….it was actually a bit overripe. I improvised, and used the overripe papaya, its seeds and…
These are not to be believed: 1 large jar grape jelly (or 2 cans of jellied cranberry sauce) 2 jars chili sauce 1 large bag meatballs Place in crockpot on low for 6 hours. Bask in the ensuing praise.

It is our tradition to have crepes for Christmas morning. We fill them with fruit, or powdered sugar, or syrup or jam….or all of the above! This year, Christmas fell on a Sunday…..no time to make crepes before church. I thought of making a New Year’s Day feast….but same problem: it’s a Sunday.. So, I…
This is our traditional Christmas morning breakfast (along with sausage and bacon!). For fillings we use powdered sugar, syrup, jam, canned fruit….a combination of all the above….and DH usually adds in his sausage or bacon! 1 cup flour 1 cup milk 2 eggs, beaten 2 tbsp melted butter Beat the eggs, add the milk and…

I admit that I am not an adventurous eater. I am not averse to trying new things, however. I AM influenced by my prior food experiences, and so I guess I never tried spaghetti squash due to my fear of another “acorn” debacle. I was wrong. The forums at myfitnesspal.com are rife with praises of…
We have learned to love Green Papaya Salad. We have adapted shredded green papaya to make coleslaw. Today at church, the “lunch providers” brought a soup/stew based on chicken broth, chicken and with chopped papaya chunks in it. “Hrmmmmm,” I says to myself. “Kinda squash-like. I likey!” So tonight I took some green papaya, sauteed…
Ok, so I have learned to love my homemade guacamole. I have also lost 60lbs….by NOT eating homemade guacamole. So I found this stuff, with veggies for dipping, is a guilt-free-satisfier-of-my-snacking-need treat. Ingredients •2 cups chopped fresh broccoli, cooked and chilled •1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream •1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion •1 tablespoon…
It’s all Christy’s fault. She was waxing ecstatic over our abundance of avocado trees and their great potassium supply. So, though DH and I have never been fond of the things, I made some guacamole for pupu dip when she and Brion came to visit. Alright, it’s good. Oh, alright, it’s damned addicting: 2 ripe…
Malay Apples are called Mountain Apples here in Hawaii, and it is thought the first Polynesian explorers brought seedlings with them when they inhabited these islands. They are apple shaped with deep red or pink skins. The white flesh is similar to a pear. And they are in season now. “What should we do with…
