Honeycomb Cake with Sponge Toffee Garnish
When searching for a suitable dessert to pair with my Sadek Blue Bees, I came across this gorgeous, but somewhat ambitious cake. I'd never worked with candy melts before, but who could resist that honeycomb exterior? Made with bubble wrap, no less! I read the...
Green Beans, Tomatoes and Kalamata Olive Salad
This salad has only a few ingredients and takes minutes to throw together. The flash-cooked and cooled green beans lend some crunch to the meaty tomatoes, along with the salty tenderness of the olives. Delicious! I'm sharing this post...
Strawberry Trifle with Chocolate Mousse
This scrumptious trifle combines the intensity of rich chocolate cake and chocolate mousse with the creamy lightness of whipped cream and sweet strawberries. A feast for the eyes and the taste buds. We had an unexpectedly large crowd for dinner one night recently and...
Tostadas with Shrimp & Guacamole
This easy appetizer can be prepared in advance with just a bit of last minute assembly. I'm sharing this post with Between Naps on the Porch.
Fusilli with Ricotta and Spinach
I'm always on the lookout for simple pastas for weekday meals. This dish is essentially a deconstructed version of a stuffed pasta, both quick and tasty. SaveSave
Lobster Risotto
Risotto is a traditional Italian dish made with starchy Arborio or Carnaroli rice, that give the dish a soft, creamy texture, a feature the uninitiated attribute to the addition of cream. Not so! It’s the process of adding hot stock to the butter, onion and rice...

Entertablement Abroad – Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford
Good morning and Happy Groundhog Day! Today we are picking up in Oxford and as it's also a Sunday, in place of attending a church service, we will visit Christ Church Cathedral. Lovely spring flowers greet us at the entrance. Christ Church is a joint...
Entertablement Abroad – Christ Church College, Oxford
There are few places to rival the beauty of southern England, especially on a sunny day. We had visited Oxford a number of times, but for whatever reason, we had never seen Christ Church Cathedral and it was on my list to photograph. (I've now done 34 of the 42...
Entertablement Abroad – Harewood House Part II
Good day, everyone, and welcome to Harewood House Part II. Sorry for the delay in providing the sequel to Harewood House Part I. Travel and the holiday season got the better of me in the intervening period, but I'm determined to tie off as many loose ends as I can...
Entertablement Abroad: A Travel Taste Test
Greetings, dear readers! We are once again under our own roof and happily in reach of wireless services. Thanks to everyone for their good wishes on our journey. My trepidation about the cruise proved groundless; no seasickness at all. It was smooth sailing al the...
Entertablement Abroad – Quick Packing
Good morning to all, and Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends. This is a quick post on quick packing, very much to the point as I'm currently in Venice, bags packed and ready to embark on an eight-day cruise down the Adriatic. This is a first for us, as the...
Entertablement Abroad – Harewood House
"Where shall we go today?" was the question. Our three weeks in England were almost at an end and we – Glenn, that is – had done a lot of driving already, so I was hesitant to suggest Harewood House, almost two hours from our self-catering cottage in Derbyshire. He...
