Welcome Back!
After a long hiatus, we are back in the internet kitchen. When we began working on this web site, it was my intention to become a savvy user. I failed! I learned that I am much more comfortable at the stove than I am in the web design and maintenance chair. So I’ve turned the site over to “a skilled professional” who promises me that I will never have to do more than cook, think about food, and write about it. Hopefully, this means that I can spend all of my time creating meals, discovering new sources of great products, talking about culinary friends and idols and then writing about them while my dear husband, photographer Steve Pool documents it all. I hope that my renewed vigor will entice you to correspond with me – your comments are welcome and desired.

Judie,
The Site is beautiful-pictures wonderful and are all the
recipes of your creation. You look great and I hope that you
and Steve are both well.
Love, Chris
Chris – Thanks for looking – thanks for the comments- we are well and trying to communicate with the world in this, for us, new way – keep checking in and we’ll keep in touch – Judie
Hi Judie,
I am really enjoying all the info on your website. I think I’ll write a quick note to
the Sacramento Bee recommending it, OK?
I have your beautiful book on DelMonico’s
Grandson Ted is an amateur, and sometimes
professional, chef. He had to give up the restaurant business because of stress. He is now the chief cook and bottle washer in a nice half-way house in Lincoln. He cleans carpets but dreams about what he’ll prepare for dinner while he works.
Thank you for sending me your website info.
Love, Annie
Please let the folks at the Bee know about us – the more that join us, the happier we will be! Encourage Ted – amateurs are often the best, most joyous cooks and how wonderful that he is using his talents to feed people who are trying to change their lives.
I might just reminisce about our youthful travels together –
Keep in touch! Judie
So glad you’re back, Judith! Missed your musings on food and life….
Tish – I’ll keep musing – let’s join up for some Diner Desserts – for those of you who might have missed it this (among others) is a delicous book by Tish Boyle –
