Old Rose was arguing with her boss a couple weeks ago about their rib recipes and which was better, so she decided to put him to the test and declared a rib-off! The invitation said to bring your best ribs to the party and each person would vote on the winner.

Now,

My famous (?) Greek Salad

It’s almost summer again, (fingers crossed anyway) and at our house this usually means backyard BBQ’s and potlucks with friends.

If you’re like me, you never know what to bring to these kinds of things – you want it to be something quick and easy, but also something people will eat! I

Diana Pimlott's Moroccan Salad

Diana was actually one of the first people we met when we first moved here in 2003. She worked at the liquor store then. But we met her out at Muchalaht Lake – honest!!

Anyway, Muchalaht Lake was where I was introduced to Diana’s Moroccan salad during a camping potluck

Christmas cookie exchange

Recently someone was talking (or did I read it somewhere?) about having a big Christmas cookie exchange and meeting at the Ladies Auxiliary Hall and sharing all the goodies.

I’ve been involved in a few of these in the past and they’re always fun and a great way to get a variety of baking without doing

Jim Pimlott’s Clam Chowder

This soup has become one of our new family fav’s. The fact that my husband is the one who prepares it, makes it even more fabulous in my book! (Now if I could only get him to do the dishes!)

This is a great soup in any season, but is especially welcome at this time of

Homemade Children’s Playdough

This is way better than the store bought stuff!

This recipe is from an old Church fundraiser cookbook I was given years ago. I made this constantly when my girls were little. I always doubled it as it gave both of them a good amount to play with.

Homemade Playdough:

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1/4 tsp cream of

Food Porn with Linda

Wikipedia defines ‘Food Porn’ as, “a provocative term variously applied to a spectacular visual presentation of foods boasting a high fat and calorie content, exotic dishes that arouse a desire to eat or the glorification of food as a substitute for sex.”

The delectable goodies that Linda Hooper bakes up definitely ticks all of these boxes
