Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Nothing says home to me more that a plate or bowl of seafood gumbo! The aroma fills the home and lingers in a most pleasant way and if you are lucky enough to enjoy a few helpings then you really feel like you can kick back and watch the fire flies glow that night.
Seafood Gumbo… make it for someone you love… it takes time, preparation and quality ingredients … but the smiles you receive are worth it!

In making anything, it all boils down to using quality ingredients in the right generous proportions. If you take the time to make a good tiramisu… take a little more time, better ingredients and make the best!

What’s Christmas without a special ham and a uniquely yummy glaze? The glaze takes nearly as long to make as cooking the ham… but it is worth it!
You never know what will happen when my daughters come home to visit! They decided to make gingerbread cookies in the shape of the popular cellphone game “Plants vs. Zombies”… plus a tribute to their Biological Psychologist mother in the form of a Brain… ah… yummy… I guess?
Enjoy the season!
When my daughters Kristin & Karen come home for Christmas, we all work on making some of the family things we all enjoy. A few days ago, I caught Kristin making one of our favorite ‘with coffee’ desserts… Biscotti! Making the dough isn’t difficult with a heavy duty mixer and a good dough hook… and the real trick is to slice the biscotti after coming from the oven the first time … using a good serrated bread knife.
Today is Christmas Eve… and we are making Tiramisu for tomorrow … not a real traditional Christmas dessert… but nice after a smoked spiral cut ham with my special Apricot and Pineapple glaze!
Bon appetite!
The extra time and effort going into the preparation of making BBQ’d ribs makes the final effort extraordinary.
So, what wonderful things are you going to make this season??
