Welcome to my virtual kitchen!

I hope you enjoy your visit here, whether it’s your first time or your 30th. I first started sharing my recipes as Facebook Notes, until my friends began asking how they could share them with their friends; so I gathered my courage and tiptoed into the world of blogging via Tumblr. As interest in my blog started “cooking,” my wonderful hubby set me up at WordPress with my own domain. (All the content from my previous blog moved here as well.) Let me know what you think, and be sure to bookmark it for future reference!

My other hobby, scrapbooking, is also documented at WordPress here.

Deli, New York Style!

It’s hard to believe, but our medium-sized southern city has a pretty authentic New York deli — River Street Deli. It’s tucked into a building along Frazier Avenue on one side and Coolidge Park on the other, with panoramic views of the Tennessee River (and my workplace!) We’ve each been there several times, but this was only our second visit together; the deli closes at 3, but we left work early for an appointment with my surgeon and grabbed a late lunch after. My favorite thing is their seafood salad and his is the Reuben; but today we opted for the oven-fried chicken sandwich and the meatloaf sandwich, both daily specials and both excellent.
