Are certain foods really an Aphrodisiac?

“Recently my firefighter and I were out to dinner,  as we both scoured the menu we rejoiced in the fact that they had raw oysters on the menu! It’s kind of our thing! Of course we ordered a dozen! So, I said to him as we waited for our sexy goodness, “Do you really think that oysters are an aphrodisiac or is that just lore?” Not skipping a beat, in expected fashion, he gave me a wink, eager to test the theory either way, appreciative yes,  but I wanted to more concrete proof!  Oysters for example are high in Zinc, which has been linked to an increased libido,”

Game day Grub

     Football season is winding down, sadly my New York Giants have been eliminated early by the Green Bay Packers, who I liked for one weekend when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys.  Sorry my heart lies with “Big Blue” good, bad, or even while they were glorious relaxing on a yacht when they should have…

Henry Joe’s Birthday Churros

A well stocked Kitchen

     Not too long ago, a good friend of mine, had been marveling over the copious amount of spices and oils I had in my cupboard.  “Is it really necessary to have all of these spices?” she asked curiously.  “Uhh yes.. it most certainly is,” I replied in mock horror, that she should question the goings on in my pantry. …

My kitchen is my Sanctuary

I like to meditate.  I started Japa Meditation several years ago after listening to the late great Dr. Wayne Dyer.  I found he and I to be kindred spirits of sorts,  on the same journey and his wisdom spoke to me.  I also felt meditation would help with my anxiety the same way cooking does,…

I Like Nifty Gadgets

Pssst…I have a confession.  I like nifty gadgets!  Just like men covet and worship women, tools, heavy machinery, and bitchin’ cars,  I love kitchen gadgets.
