Something took a leak in our cupboard?! It was just peachy….
Do you know what’s lurking in your cupboard getting ready to make your day? Well, there we were, Dorothy and I, just minding our own business, sipping a leisurely cup of tea when Dorothy happened to notice a stream of light yellow liquid slowly wending its way across our kitchen floor.

Duffy’s had a second chance to make a first impression!
My first trip to Duffy’s was last Thanksgiving and it was memorable only in its deficiencies, not least of which was the lack of turkey! Since Mike seems to be a particular fan of Duffy’s and we were looking for something fast and easy, we decided to give the downtown Stuart location a chance to …

Tartan Pub in Orleans: Good for a pint, as a buffet not so much!
Perhaps Tartan’s Buffet is better after a few drinks? The Tartan’s hard to find tucked away in this tiny strip mall If we hadn’t been invited, we’d never have found it at all. For me, the buffet’s only fair and the decor’s kind of tired But those servers in their kilts really have to be …

The Original Pancake House in Jensen Beach is NOT a load of crepe!
You may be full of crepe when you leave the Original Pancake House There may be some readers who can’t tell pancakes from crĂȘpes, But they’re really quite as different as chimpanzees and apes.

Another Un-Recipe: Creamy ginger-coconut chicken off the cuff!
On most evenings, I at least have a vague idea about what I am going to prepare for supper. Yesterday, at 7PM, I had less than a clue. There are times when inspiration just totally fails. The only thing I could resort to was looking in the fridge and freezer and see what I could find. …
