September 14, 2020 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

We've been having a crazy heat wave here in So Cal. Full disclosure - cooking has been the last thing on my mind. (I know. Shut up.) Still, I was kind of excited to participate in this month's Melissa's Produce Challenge: A Fall Side Dish.  Although I'm not quite ready to throw on a scarf and boots - WAIT. Who am I kidding? This is California. ...

Technically, today's recipe is Plum Pulled Pork Sliders with Jicama Slaw. Whew! That title is quite the mouthful, isn't it? Actually "quite the mouthful" is completely apropo for today's recipe which is perfectly descrbed in the title. Say it with me: "Plum Pulled Pork Sliders With Jicama Slaw."  *deep breath* As usual when I tackle these monthly ...

Also, this post is over-illustrated with photos because it's too difficult to tell without them. Brace yourself. The Stairway to Heaven This story ...

May 4, 2020 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

It was May 1977 and I was turning 22 years old. I celebrated that birthday enjoying dinner with friends. After which we decided to go see a new film called Star Wars. Back then we knew nothing about the phenomenon it would turn out to be, of course. And, to be honest, the posters that advertised it looked a little hokey. You know the rest of the ...

April 23, 2020 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

I have a confession to make. (Warning: if you're waiting for a big, juicy "chisme," you'll most likely be disappointed, but that's not important right now.)
