Valentines-Day

No, I did not fall off the face of the earth. Although, there were times in the past month that I felt like jumping off. Ever since the Holidays, Chez SCGG has been a hotbed of disease and dysfunction, governed by Murphy’s Law. We didn’t even have our Christmas tree down when the first of us fell. Fever, chills and unspeakable gastrointestinal maladies gripped Mr. SGCC like a pit bull with a meaty bone. Poor Mini-SGCC was the next to succumb to that ghastly flu. No sooner did she begin to bounce back when Mr. SGCC went down again. And then, it was my turn.

So stressful in fact, that I resumed an old habit of grinding my teeth in my sleep – which caused me to crack a tooth and require dental surgery. The fun never ends here, folks. Even the dog got sick!

That too. read more >>

Well here we are again, at the end of yet another year. Where does the time go! It seems as though it was just twelve minutes ago and not twelve months ago that I was sitting here writing my New Years post for 2009. …

kiss the cook!

Hello and welcome to SGCC! I’m Susan, a professional writer, food columnist, recipe developer, wife, mother, daughter and sister, who used to be a lawyer in a previous life. My love of food comes from a long line of wonderful and creative Italian home cooks who didn’t always have a lot, but knew how to make a lot out of what they had. I hope that you enjoy yourself while you’re here, and visit often! read more >>
