The Joy of Cooking
I felt happy when I read on the Huffington Post that Irma Rombauer, a St. Louis widow, took her life savings and self-published “The Joy of Cooking.”
Her daughter tested recipes and created the illustrations and they sold the book from Irma’s apartment. The book is now published by Simon & Schuster.
Hope is always around!

USA National Dessert Day Today!
Every day is dessert day in this house! Though I think I’ve just about heard it all now (well, maybe not), comes this tasty treat from Italy: VIAGRA Ice Cream. Yes, something so cold can apparently make you so hot! Maybe now I also understand Silvio Berlusconi a little bit better (not really). What protective bubble have I been in? Coming soon near you.

Garlic Bashing

Our Friend Garlic: peeled, rubbed, roasted, marinated, chopped, bashed.
I appreciate all of the immunity-boosting goodness Garlic imparts to us so I do not mind gently peeling back her protective skin and actually enjoy the lovely aroma on my fingers as a result. As a caveat, though, some people may find garlic juice on their skin to be irritating so this does need to be considered.
The juiciness and glistening of the clove as I mince it into tiny bits and leave it out at least 5 minutes so the oxygen in the air stimulates an enzymatic process that releases even more beneficial reactions for our health provides a visual delight. On the other hand, some of us loathe garlic but do appreciate generous helpings of swarthy Mediterranean cuisines full of garlicky goodness.
GARLIC: Y or N ?

Hello World! Hungry Yet?
Welcome to Our World at Your Table: Planet Earth’s Cookbook.
All things food is the theme here! And sometimes other things that catch my eye or interest.
What sets this apart from other food fare? Beats me! I just like to share recipes I’ve collected, on a somewhat regular frequency, depending on how immersed I am with work and life etc.
Well-traveled taste buds are how I reduce my carbon footprint. Maybe you’ll soon join me on this adventure via my cookbook, Our World At Your Table: Planet Earth’s Cookbook.
Ciao for now… Susan
