Pasta & Mushrooms

July 30, 2019July 29, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

I'm just learning that as a child I may have been a picky eater. Since it's been about a week and Jim and I haven't had electricity so we've been without a kitchen. I've been craving pasta and I'm going nuts wanting mushrooms. When I was a kid I hated both, along with a lot … Continue reading Pasta & Mushrooms

Storm of Biblical Proportions

July 29, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ 2 Comments

Sorry it's been over a week since we have written. Last Friday/Saturday we had an epic storm. We figure, conservatively, we lost over fifty trees on our two Wisconsin properties. Most of them missed the houses but managed to punch thru one sky-light and poked several holes in the garage roof. The weather service reported … Continue reading Storm of Biblical Proportions

Rue 57 Salad

July 19, 2019July 18, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Recently wrote about Salad Nicoise and this morning Jim mentioned that we should write our recipe on a salad we affectionately call Rue 57 and make it available to all of you. We had just arrived in NYC to attend the U.S. Open tennis tournament. We were walking down the street discussing where we wanted … Continue reading Rue 57 Salad

Classic Salad Nicoise

July 18, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

We woke up to big storm with a lot of rolling thunder. If you never been in a rolling thunder storm it's a magnificent treat, and I hope you will experience it some day.  There are no flashes of lighting, just distance rumbling that goes on and on and as it gets nearer it shakes … Continue reading Classic Salad Nicoise

So Who’s the Chef, you decide.

July 17, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ 5 Comments

Within the last couple of years we spent 3 weeks in the Czech Republic at a stunning vacation home just a kilometer from the Austrian border. When we are on a holiday we usually spend a day hiking in the country and eat a late lunch at a restaurant. On alternate days we visit a … Continue reading So Who’s the Chef, you decide.

Quick Pickled Cucumbers

July 14, 2019July 14, 2019 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

I like to make quick cucumber pickles, which I eat as a snack at night instead of cookies or chips. Of course, they are good with sandwiches or as a side dish with dinner. They are super easy to make and you can add an assortment of other vegetables that you have laying around as … Continue reading Quick Pickled Cucumbers

Accent & Decent in the Kitchen

July 13, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

You can't tell very well but the towel side of my small galley kitchen is six inched lower than where I'm taking my photo from. So every time I travel to the frig or get a spice I descend 6 inches. On my way back to the stove of counter I accent 6 inches. I … Continue reading Accent & Decent in the Kitchen

Chile-Herb Corn on the Cob

July 11, 2019July 10, 2019 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

First of all, we apologize for not posting as frequently as we usually do. We arrived in Wisconsin a week ago and have been busy getting things back in order. It has been a very wet season up here. So much so that the farmers were unable to plant their corn for a while. Corn … Continue reading Chile-Herb Corn on the Cob

Border – Czech Republic/Austria

July 10, 2019 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

We've just returned to our little house on the lake in Wisconsin. Was reading REDDIT and came across hundreds of photos of border crossing from all over the world. Thought I'd share mine, here on our blog. The Iron Curtain Trail. James on right in Austria and Jim in Czech Republic on left. Should have … Continue reading Border – Czech Republic/Austria
