Amazing Numbers—Merci Jacques
Somewhere in the vast universe of cooking videos, I watched Jacques Pepin create 3 vegetable salads. I was riveted as I always am when watching this great man cook. But here was the shocker: the third recipe he demonstrated in the video was a Cream Dressing that his mother used to make. While making […]
Adventurous Covid Vacation & Thinking of Onions
Learning the intricacies of RV systems has been good for our brains. 3-week vacation coming to a close. End of the days after parking are always the best. (See photo re: Lake Marion) Lots of time to contemplate recipes ahead while Roy is driving on I95 and not much navigation required by the nervous navigator. […]
Staying in Place and Garden Ravioli
Lake Jordan State Park is a beautifully wooded, spacious camping location for staying 4 nites. No wonder it’s so popular—senior rate for site with electric/water is $27.00. So lest anyone think that RV’ing does not include daily exercise, I report our 3.5 mile walks the last 2 days and a photo of Roy’s inventive use […]
Back Roads, Highways and Unique “Campgrounds” + Snacks

We have had some including no campsites in Gatlinburg TN area; bumper to bumper traffic in Pigeon Forge; and staying overnight in the Visitors Parking […]
Stone Mountain and Beyond Taco Tuesday

Anyone know the largest monolith in the world? Monolith defined: Formed of single large block of stone. Taco Tuesday: Beyond Meat Spicy Crumbles heated in frying […]
FDR Little White House and Ratatouille Pasta
Lovely short ride from our campsite to Warm Springs where FDR built his southern white house after he first visited the warm sulfur springs (88 degrees) that helped him move his legs after contracting polio (at 39 years). Very modest house with wonderful patio/porch; servants quarters with garage where his hand operated car was kept; […]
Pine Mountain Georgia—Lots of Surprises and Good Chili
Staying in place for 3 nights and exploring the area. Pine Mountain is a very cute tiny town with wonderful antique shops. Below is a photo of a found art object for Roy’s next project???? First Surprise—our gas tank holds 55 gallons $$$$. Next surprise—never much had the hots for Walmart but they are everywhere […]
Discovering Solar Power in Georgia—Soup for Supper
Second Day with the Thor Vegas; Continuing on Route 19; observing solar panels on both sides of the road as far as the eye can see near Butler Ga. Research: Southern Power “planted” 1070 acres and it’s “paying off.” Supper: Mom’s Vegetable Barley Soup, made at home and frozen, just for the trip. YUM!!!
Stopped by Covid for 8 months…but back on the road with an RV
Our own food, our own bathroom in our used Thor Vegas RV. Headed towards Georgia; loving small towns on Route 19 all the way. Enjoying cotton fields and pecan orchards. Farmers of Georgia, be proud. Please put signs on your crops so that we can all enjoy your hard work feeding us. BTW, Warwick Georgia […]
Shepherd’s Pie:Mostly Vegetables with Cauliflower Mash Top
Missing a lot of items in my newly moved into kitchen, so I flavored the sautéed onions, carrots, celery with fresh garlic, dried thyme, salt and pepper and ketchup. Sprinkled flour to sautéed veggies, poured over some beef broth (from Better Than Bouillon). Simmered till carrots were done. Added frozen peas. Then topped with previously […]
