About me
I'm a retired chemist so now I have to do my experiements in the kitchen rather than the laboratory. I like to experiment and thankfully my family is very adventurous. Even the grandchildren ages 11 to 14 are foodies. I belong to a group of retirees that meet once a month at our Senior Center to share food. Each month is a different theme and each person is assigned a dish to bring. This is a great web site to explore and try new things. Don't be fooled by the picture. The costume was a retirement gift from my co-workers . I just volunteered to do some cooking at group home for developmentally disabled adults. I'll be looking for recipes

Hello Darlenal, would love to know how the Eggplant casserole recipe meets your family tastebuds... but since your family is not picky eaters, I have the confidence they would love as mine does.

Btw, you look great and very professional on your costume, hahaha.

I can see you live in Minnesota, that means a lot of cold weather in winter time, right? but I think it must be a very beautiful place with lots of woods and wildlife... I can see you cooking thick and rich stews and soups and baking lots of lovely smelling breads and rolls... here in Mallorca Island we have now 35 ºC, that means about 95ºF, but thanks God we have wonderfull calas (small beaches nested between pine tree woods) with lovely clear, clean and blue waters. Mediterranean Sea is all around us. I think this is one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean coast of Spain. We came here to live (we used to live very near to Madrid) three years ago when my husband was pre-retired and we do LOVE this place. It´s just warm-cold in winter (about 10ºC, 50ºF). It never gets as cold as to have ice on your car windscreen in the mornings.

If you like to bake your own bread, as I do, I would recommend you "The Bread baker´s apprentice" by Peter Reinhart.

OK, honey, I wish you a nice week and good cooking.
Regards from Spain.


I'll be trying your artichoke chicken tonight. Every time I make my spinach-artichoke dip I think, well this will be good on chicken. And here it is pretty much! Thanx!

Darlenel, the pictures look awesome! Great job!


Alas, I never think to bring my camera into the kitchen. When I am preparing food I'm at one end of the house and stupid me... the camera's forgotten up here in the office. If I do remember to bring the camera down with me next time I do the Smoked Salmon Roll-ups I'll be happy to post a photo. Meanwhile... think of two long, thin slices of lox over-lapping. Spread some of the filling mix at one end and then roll from that end to the other so when you look down at it there's the soft filling in the middle. There are a couple of layers rolled around of the salmon to support it and then I like the crunch of the sesame on the sides but that's just my taste. Does this description help any better? I sure hope so.
Regards


Hey darlen...I don't know if I thanked you for checking out my Ranch Pasta Salad recipe...I don't always get the notices! Anyway, thank you and I hope you find time to try it...with or without your sub! :)


Thanks for commenting on the Parmesan Ball recipe Darlene! Let me know how you like them and welcome to the GR site! Looking forward to sharing lots of recipes with you.


Thank you so much for the comment on my mushroom soup.


Thanks for your kind words regarding my Spicy Mn Curry Chicken. You're right about the fact that a lot of Mn residents are spice wimps. I readily admit I'm one. To me excessive spice heat is torture. I'm looking for pleasure when I eat. :^)
