Last night, we went to a small gathering; a dinner party. Big fun!

Our Lady of Weight Loss is lounging on the zero-gravity recliner in the back courtyard. Every so often she “yells” something to me. Directions, you might say. “I have a request,” she says. “Be sure to wish all the Tushkateers (and anyone else who is reading our posts), a heartfelt Happy Labor Day Weekend.” A [...]

Eat This: Lose Weight – Cold Cucumber Soup

Janice Taylor — Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:17:17 +0000

This Dysfunctional Chef has been experimenting with cold cucumber soup. Woo Hoo, Yahoo and Lah-Di-Dah! Most recipes that I’ve stumbled across, tripped over and dipped my Dysfunctional tasting finger into include heavy cream or olive oil and I get why. Creamier, tastier, but still–not how I want to cook or blend in this case. [...]

Dysfunctional Chef: Mexican Deviled Eggs

Janice Taylor — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 14:11:19 +0000

I was thrift shopping and found an “deviled egg tray” in the “fancy” cabinet that holds all the really prized and expensive household items.
