Cooking, Southern style
Remembering when friends were over to spend the night, company was in for birthdays and holidays, mother's canasta club meeting once a month and company for the Germantown Fair, the aroma from the kitchen and those wonderful meals my mother prepared always come to mind. She also had many entries in the Floral Hall exhibit at the fair each summer and prized her collection of blue ribbons on transparent tarts, beaten biscuits, pecan pie, homemade bread and rolls, her moist jam cake, yummy cherry preserves, yeast donuts and a variety of homemade pickles and preserves.

Food for few: meals for one or two
It seems to be a real challenge for some people to cook for just one or two people and it looks difficult but it is really quite easy to do. After the kids have left for college or married, you've divorced or you have lost a spouse, it is a big adjustment to down size your grocery purchases and the amount of food to prepare. If you aren't careful you will waste a lot of food. I intentionally try to prepare enough for one leftover meal when cooking.

Kabler's Chatter -- Dining in Philadelphia
After visiting Philadelphia a couple of years back, I decided it was one of the greatest historical places to visit in the United States other than Washington D.C. The historical area is filled with three main places to visit, the National Constitution Center, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The three top tourist attractions can be visited all in one day. Philadelphia is rich in history but it also has great night-life activities, shopping, culture, the arts and great food. Of course you can't leave without trying the great Philadelphia Steak and Cheese Sandwich.

A taste of Germany
This week I will share with you some recipes from family and friends from Germany. Of course my heritage is German and I guess that is why I love their foods. I also had a wonderful neighbor back in the 80s from Germany and she lived close to the Black Forest where she often rode her bike. She shared with me several dishes that I enjoy making for my family. My first Black Forest Cake was in her home and I have never had better. I am sharing with you an easier version of the cake but delicious. In the early 90s, I visited Germany and it was a delightful trip. The cuisine was rather good with the exception of peas and potatoes which were served with most every meal and deli luncheon meats which were served everywhere and everyday for breakfast.

Potluck dinner treats
Potluck dinners are fun to attend and they are a great place to take your favorite dish. The word potluck dates back to the 16th century when it referred to the luck of unannounced guests showing up at mealtime. Since the hosts hadn't had time to prepare a special meal, guests ate what was simmering in the pot. Later it was known as a supper or luncheon where each guest brought a dish to share. The luck then was how good was the dish that the guests prepared.

Kabler's Chatter: Stir Fry
Sometimes cooking seems like a chore, but it doesn't have to be that way. A stir-fry meal can be enjoyed by all folks. Most people think they have to have a fancy wok, but it is not necessary. A good heavy skillet will work almost the same. In today's article I want to give you some tips on stir-fry cooking and recipes that are quick and easy. I love the seasonings often used in stir-fry and I think you will too. The best secret to great stir- fry is to constantly keep moving the food around in the pan and cook the vegetables to the doneness that your entire family will enjoy. For instance if your husband does not care for real crunchy vegetables, then cook your vegetables a little longer to please him. After all this is the main meal for the day. When I prepare stir-fry I use an electric wok. I have had it for years, it is a carbon-steel wok and cleans up so easy. If I cooked with gas on my range top, I would probably invest in a stove top wok. On occasion I have used my big heavy old iron skillet and it did great.
