Pickled Ginger Aioli

Brother had a Halloween party at school last night.  It ended up being a drop off party so I found myself within spitting distance of Central Market and over an hour to myself.  What a gift!  Only since I wasn’t prepared for the shopping excursion, I didn’t have THE list.  Maybe it’s my age, or the fact that I’ve had…

Homemade Italian Salad Dressing

Husband went to Dallas yesterday for a funeral.  The last of the Schell brothers died this week at the age of seventy-six.  Husband’s father was one of ten children and this uncle was the last one to pass.

A Long Hiatus

So I took a little break. It’s been exactly 18 months since I last blogged and to tell you the truth I didn’t miss it much. Until today.  The weather finally took a slight dip and I feel like cooking. Hell, I feel like throwing dinner parties, and baking pecan pies, and testing every recipe I’ve collected over the past…

Heavenly Hash

So the past seven days are really a blur. The details of our week are vague; however I am pretty sure I have not made a meal since last Sunday. A funny concept since I spent the entire week entertaining. Note to self: cooking and entertaining are not mutually exclusive!Suffice it to say, between hosting Easter parties, our church Wednesday…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
