Remembering Weetabix
One of the things I got “hooked” on in Europe was a cereal similar to Shredded Wheat called “Weetabix.” From the first bite, I thought, “Where has this wonderful stuff been all my life?” Well, I was surprised to learn that I needn’t have moved to Europe to enjoy this crunchy delight. It has been… Continue reading

For some tea drinkers – present company included – a cup of tea is just fine and nothing more is needed. We drink our tea, sometimes in copious and staggering amounts, but that is all.

Fruitcake Free-for-All
Lots of jokes are made about fruitcake, but it’s still one of the most popular food items for the winter holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, and News Year’s).
