It says fall on the calendar, but the thermometer has reached well over 80 the last few days. The swamp cooler has been working overtime to keep my classroom cool. Warm classrooms are not conducive to learning so I truly appreciate even the trickle of cool air coming from the vents. Dismissal is miserable – [...]

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again! The other day I tried to make a chocolate Cool Whip pie and it was a big flop. It was more like a dessert soup than a pie. Tonight’s pie was much, much better. It still wasn’t as chocolatey as I thought it would be, [...]

There are so many quirky things that I love about Nantucket. Comparing Take It or Leave It treasures found while at the dump. Getting soaked at the beach without going in the water as the fog rolls ashore. Watching funny creatures like horseshoe crabs scurry across the ocean floor. Buying (and devouring) yummy Portuguese bread from [...]

You put the lime in the cocoanut and drink it all up… I thought I would do a repeat of my first Cool Whip dessert – which was festively red, white & blue – for the Fourth of July, but I decided to try a new twist. The leftover Lemon Pie from last week was [...]

To celebrate my father-in-law’s 79th birthday, my mother-in-law took us out to dinner at the SeaGrille last night. My in-laws both ordered blue fish which is never on my culinary radar. Charlie chose the Fisherman’s Platter because he always goes for the most bang for your buck! Instead of choosing my usual stuffed shrimp or broiled [...]

Homemade whipped cream is absolutely sublime – a heavenly blend of the most basic, real ingredients. Cream. Powdered sugar. [...]
