Restaurant Review – Kinaree Thai Cuisine
I think I’ve had some sort of mental block. When anyone says to me “Hey, want to go for Thai food?” I think back to this tiny hole in the wall in Fairfax, California where Ken and I would sneak off to once a week to get our fix. Or the restaurant we would wander [...]
OBE’s Good, Bad and Ugly Homemade Halloween Treats
Good Morning. I have never aspired to be a genius in the kitchen, which by all accounts of my hearty Polish upbringing is so very wrong. There are a few things where I claim master title status – baked meat is right up there. I am a cole slaw champ. Potatoes 12 ways is my [...]

Coconut Cocoa Date Balls
Ken is a chocolate junkie.

That would be just fine for me. In the sweets universe, chocolate rates well below sour candies and rides at the back of the bus when in [...]
Summer Kanten
Editor’s note: Christa and I work tandem on the food column these days. She writes the stories and I take the photos.
I love Christa’s yummy un-jello Jello recipe this week. But, my family is totally not down with melon – of any kind. So, you’ll see that the photo doesn’t really look like an apple [...]
Shaker Salad Dressing
I don’t have to tell you that I’m a big proponent of getting kids involved in the kitchen.
Kneading dough, scrambling eggs, flipping pancakes- some of my best childhood memories are of learning basic kitchen skills from my parents.
It’s with a love for nostalgia and good food that I find myself encouraging my little person along [...]
Raspberry Yogurt Ice Pops
Everyone keeps telling me it’s still only spring- that summer hasn’t truly arrived yet, and that we may see many more weeks of inconsistent weather yet.
The boots may come out of the closet again.
The SPF 45 might sit on the shelf for a week or more.
The barbeque cover might be put back on.
I’ve had no [...]
