Another walk at Ashland
Ran an errand yesterday in the vicinity of Ashland. Whenever it is nice out and I am somewhere near, I try to head to Ashland to check out what’s blooming and just enjoy the beauty in such a central location.

Mashed Cauliflower and Parsnips with Spinach
Several years ago I saw a Rachael Ray episode on Thanksgiving for which she prepared a dish with mashed potatoes and parsnips with spinach and parmesan stirred in. It sounded so good but I wanted to try using cauliflower instead of potatoes to make it healthier. Substituting 2 cauliflower heads for the potatoes, it turned […]
Nostalgia on Third Street
My dear friend Cecy came back to town on a whirlwind visit on Halloween. After a long and lovely lunch we decided to go to Third Street, where we met. She had just turned 13 and I was still (barely) 12. My aunt Mary Jane and my grandmother had moved in up the block and […]

After the […]

Clematis
Rainbows in the fountain
Lexington Green shopping center here in Lexington has a lake with a fountain in it — part of a “green space” between the center and a freeway that blocks the view and much of the sound of the road. A lower level restaurant is lakeside and above it the cafe connected to a large independent […]
Wintry Windy Corner
In all seasons we love heading out to Windy Corner Market for lunch or dinner. It’s out in the country, in the midst of farms. The drive lets us meander through the historic part of town and once in the country it is beautiful and serene. Local celeb chef Ouita Michel created the menu so […]
