Best Recipes of 2010 What Would You Buy to Make One Recipe? Once upon a time, I knew this guy, Mike. Now Mike could cook, he just didn’t. He had a place he called "The Kitchen" because he sat down for supper there nearly every night. You and I would call it by the name on the door, Ruby Tuesday. Mike offered to bring dessert to a gourmet club dinner and mentioned his favorite dessert from a hole-in-the-wall restaurant famous for its chocolate enchiladas – chocolate crepes, actually, but stuffed with pillows of whipped cream studded with bits of strawberry, banana and pineapple, then drizzled with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce a

Technology Updates for KitchenParade.com

Dear Kitchen Parade Readers & Visitors, UPDATES UPDATE 11:00am Wednesday 4/21 I just now realized that some links are not working properly. For example, if you start on the Recipe Box page and click Mother's Day, you will reach not the Mother's Day recipes but instead the main holiday page, necessitating an extra click to get to Mother's Day. I'm checking to see if there is an automated way to re-instate these links but it's likely to require manual updates, page by page, link by link. FINAL UPDATE 6:00am Monday 4/19 So, yes, "we got it!"

"Delightful." ~ Pauline "Yumm!" ~ Melanie The Family Grove In the 1950s, my Minnesota grandparents bought a place in Florida and flew south in a fast ’53 Ford to become snowbirds. Now if the words "place in Florida" conjure up something grand, think again. The place was a sandy patch parked with a small trailer with one bedroom and a pull-out couch in the living area. After my grandfather died, Gramma walked the beach for long hours, finding solace in the sea shells that washed up along the Gulf Coast.
