A dish of mine that breaks a lot of the supposed rules about pasta, US Marine-Style Chili Mac. The former Marine was happy with it, which is what matters. I’ve been away from this blog for a while now. Eight months, plus-or-minus a few days, off doing other web projects and writings while upgrading my […]
One of the most popular recipes on Luna Pier Cook is Mary Jewett’s Kentucky Sweet Corn Pudding. We’ve enjoyed it ourselves for many holiday get-togethers over the couple decades since we first got a copy of it from Mary herself. The number of page views on the recipe have really skyrocketed since I first posted […]
Click on any image for a larger version. Scott Lee is an old friend of mine. Not that he’s actually old … he’s as middle-aged as I am, and slightly older by a few months. But Scott’s been around most of my life. We met in art class in 6th grade, spent time studying magic […]
My kids have been busting their butts all day long. The day started with a knock at the bedroom door. On the other side was 13-year-old Ryan. In each of his hands was a large mug of Biggby Michigan Cherry coffee, a mug each for Mary and I. He’d brewed it himself and to tell you […]
Many of you know my dad passed away late December in 2008 at the tender age of 85. I’ve written before of his signature dish, Eggs In A Frame, and of his despising melted cheese in any form even though I have a photo of him eating pizza. But while I’ve posted a lot more […]

57 years ago today my parents were married in Flint, Michigan. For as long as I could remember, my mom made a simple yet traditional roast beef dinner in one of those navy blue oval roasting pans about once each month. But she did it the old way. She’d place the roast in the middle […]
Homemade Dutch loaf, homemade Kielbasa loaf, and some homemade Krakowska sausage, all from Kilgus Meats. When I got the slices of loaf lunchmeats home, that’s when I realized they were still warm. A variation of this article is also posted on the Toledo Food Examiner pages of Examiner.com. Paul … quit bugging me already … […]
Our mom, who passed away on April 21, 2009, at the age of 79, had taken the time once to use a Brother word processor (a glorified typewriter with an LCD screen) to type up a lot of her recipes. Unfortunately, no one told her about the floppy disk drive so she could save her […]
