Top o’ the mornin’ to ye! St. Patrick’s Day is here again, one of the favorite holidays around the ol’ Flamingo Pond. The husband is half-Irish, and back when we got married, we made a deal: I would get all the Jewish holidays and he would get St. Patrick’s Day and Christmas. I took this [...]
Eating healthier and dropping a few pounds is on the table (you’ll excuse the expression), once again. This time, it’s my turn by doctor’s decree. I’m following my own advice – not going off the deep end, not going into deprivation mode, but rather, transforming some favorites into equally delicious alternatives. Let’s face it. If [...]
Many of you have been telling me that you’re using Freakin’ Flamingo jams and marmalades in ways that have nothing to do with toast, but that’s no surprise to me – I’m doing the same. Today, I mixed some of my Piña Colada Jam (part of “The Cabana Collection“) into muffin batter, and ended up [...]

That’s why we’re married. I thought the occasion called for something a little special, and since I’d made some challah bread in a loaf-shape [...]
Eggs are a hot topic, lately. You’d think that cooking an egg would be the simplest thing in the world, but it’s not so easy to get over-easy every time. We love soft-cooked eggs for breakfast (and sometimes even supper) at our house, and even now, I keep looking for a formula to make the [...]
Happy New Year! I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for following along over the last year. 2010 was a pretty exciting and volatile year for me.
