New Beginnings

My goal is to offer interesting tidbits about food and recipes that are unpretentious but delicious - for family or friends!

I don't get "fusion" cooking.  Also, I don't know about you; but when I order a nice fish dish in a nice restaurant, I'm disappointed when it comes out on top of my mashed potatoes!  If  I want to mix my food, I'll do it myself!  Besides, my mother taught me that mixing your food on your plate is bad manners.

I don't pretend to know all about cooking; but I love it, and I like to prepare tasty dishes.  If you want to identify my favorite cuisine, it would be continental or French.  However, I'm a southern belle; so I enjoy an occasional down-home meal (not too much fried stuff though...I try to be a little healthy).

But I do like experimenting just for fun, and I fortunately have an international market across the street.  Have you ever tried a dragon fruit?  Apparently this fruit isn't only beautiful and exotic, it's exceptionally good for you too!  It can help one lose weight, and it is also good for blood pressure. Maybe have one handy when your fish is served on top of your mashed potatoes!

Stay tuned!
