A few weeks ago, Vince and I invited two dear friends over to our house for an old-fashioned family supper and game night. Vince found a board game called Smart A** almost a year ago and the four of us had been talking about playing it for months. Smart A** is a “Who am I?” “What am I?” “Where am I?” question and answer game for ages 12 and up. It's very fun and very kid friendly. I must admit however, some of the questions, aka Hard A** questions, were kind of tough.
Cooler fall weather is coming and I'm party planning. I'm hoping that we'll soon be able to take advantage of a cool and breezy Lady's Island evening to invite a few of our friends over for a grilled salad supper out on the deck. I already have really fun and yummy recipes in mind.
Cooking is therapy for me. A day alone in the kitchen is not only a great chance to be creative, it's also an opportunity to escape from the concerns of the day. It's kind of like culinary yoga. Over the years, I've learned that messing up every dish in the house is very good for my soul.
#ShowMeYourTable
On July 22nd, I taught my very first virtual cooking class for the University of South Carolina Beaufort's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Hosted by USCB on Zoom from my kitchen on Lady's Island, the class of 92 students was very well socially distanced while still being able to interact with the hosts and the presenter. My dear friend, local photographer Susan DeLoach, helped me pull off the presentation.
When Vince and I were first married, back in the old days when I used to have weekends off, watching Nathalie DuPree's cooking show on PBS was one of the highlights of my Saturday mornings. Nathalie was always dressed in a colorful apron with matching oven mitts and hot pads. I loved her style of cooking and her recipes and her amazing ability to make everything she cooked look doable for a home cook. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I'd have the opportunity to meet my favorite television chef, let alone be able to call her my friend.
