I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia blumfergibbit years ago, and moved to California when I was nine. I’ve lived all over the U.S. since then and had the good fortune to try many different kinds of cuisines and meet some really great and colorful friends in my travels.
These days I’m working as a freelance graphic illustrator and have a website with my original art in the public marketplace. Cooking and writing run close seconds to my art as things I am passionate about. I’ve been commissioned to illustrate a children’s book, which for me is an entirely appropriate endeavor, being about 20% grownup and 80% kid in my makeup.
Presently I live on a lake in Northern California with my best friend and other half, Rick, and Miss Boo, the Queen of cats who is actually the proprietor of the establishment and puts the “e” in entitlement.
Hopefully, you’ll enjoy some of my recipes and take a laugh with you from time to time.
I like your blog very much and look forward to your updates! You are providing laughs and I enjoy cooking so I look forward to your recipes. Bon appetit!

Thank you so much for reading. It’s fun for me to do as I love to cook and write so a great gig for me.

just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your article yesterday [the new boat/deviled eggs] – it has been forwarded it to several friends! I had to take that damn boating class quite a few times, and the struggle continues…
regards~
Tashia, thank you for reading. It was totally silly. We finally had to sell the boat when the restaurant grabbed too much of our time, and I was just getting good at it.

Believe it or not, I am buying Clarke Island just off the coast of Halifax. I will be traveling there Feb.10 to close on the property. The current owner, Tod Maitland, explained to me that Halifax is a truly Cosmopolitan Community of approx. 500,000 citizens from all walks of life,and highly intelligent and friendly.
Can’t wait to get there and walk my new Island. I may but Evans Island as well,
if it is still on the market. I plan to leave both Islands in their natural pristine condition, and NO SUBDIVIDING FOR SURE. I will be constructing my home/office there to spend the next 73 years in peace & harmony…UFFDA!!
Nice speaking with you…. Andrew Norman McDoneld ~ 414-551-1200 Int.Cell
HI….. You have to try my new fried fruit….. awesome to say the least and very easy to fix. Sounds weird doesn’t it ? However, it is heavenly. I just invented it today, using what I had on hand, and a little imagination thrown in. I beleive one could possibly begin a Cafe Chain featuring this new treat. Advise?

Hey! I live in Northern California too. I’m just outside Sacramento. How about you? I also love cooking. My novel centers around food and the comfort it brings. Love your blog!
Robin, thanks. We’re an hour and a half north of Sacramento. Sounds like we have some common threads!
Yes we do. Hmm….Orland? Corning? The Olive Capitol of the world?
Ah, you’re really close to us – we’re in Oroville
We are practically neighbors. Hour and a half away neighbors, but neighbors nonetheless.
Yup, we’ll have to keep up with one another – yes?
Absolutely.
