New Year, New Look, & A Giveaway!

2011 was quite the eventful year around the ol’ Flamingo Pond. Particularly the last six months! I’ve taken my particular brand of crazy, Freakin’ Flamingo, to the web, the South Miami Farmers Market,  and even teaching the occasional culinary/canning class at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, here in Miami. (Click on that last link to see [...]

And Now A Word From Our Sponsor…

  Me, that is. Or I should say, Freakin’ Flamingo! You know I’m making some wild and sexy jams with a South Florida / Caribbean twist down here, right? I’m playing with Florida’s seasonal best and sometimes bringing in the flavors of other parts of the country – but always with our own local flavor. [...]

Piña Colada Muffins & A Guest Post

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 [...]

Freakin’ Flamingo Motto Contest!

Everybody recovered from the 4th of July? Yes? Good! Totally time for a contest! I’ve been using the catchphrase “Everybody Gets Jam!” for about 7 months now. It started out as a private joke between me and the hubs around Christmastime, when we were trying to figure out what to gift people for the holidays. [...]

The Pickle Experiment: Spicy Garlic Cucumber Pickles

Now that I’m back from my travels, I’m going back to the farmers market for inspiration, both for personal use, and for Freakin’ Flamingo. I love pickles. I can’t think of any meal that a pickle can’t perk up. You know that I’ve made pickles before – pickled asparagus, pickled carrots, pickled spring onions & [...]

Endive, Avocado, Tarragon & Grapefruit Salad & An Eat Write Retreat Retrospective

The glow of the first Eat Write Retreat weekend still lingers. Sitting in a kind of nasty Hilton Hotel room in Silver Spring, Maryland two days later (to be clear, not the conference hotel, which was the incredibly beautiful and awesome Madison Hotel in downtown Washington, D.C.), surrounded by bags and boxes of insane (in [...]

Brunch: Stuffed French Toast

So, yesterday was our 22nd wedding anniversary. When that fact sank in, we looked at each other and said – simultaneously – “Wow. And we haven’t killed each other, yet.” See? 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 [...]

Jam For Sale

So, what’s new, you ask? Here’s the thing. I fell in love with canning and, as it turns out, I’m pretty darned good at it. I decided (with the support of my husband, who also thinks I’m pretty darned good at it) that I’m going into business to sell my jams, marmalades, and assorted other [...]
