OK, this is crazy. It's 44 degrees on #AnnaMariaIsland right now. I know #MardiGras isn't until March 4, but I'm feeling like a hot pot of #gumbo would be just the thing this weekend.

Man Dies After Eating Leftover Pasta: A Doctor Explains the β€œFried Rice Syndrome” It might seem hard to believe that a simple plate of leftover pasta could lead to a tragic outcome. Yet, this is precisely what happened

A good reminder on the "danger zone" temperatures - for optimal food safety, food should be kept at lower than 40Β°F/5Β°C or above 140Β°F/60Β°C to keep bacteria from spreading to dangerous levels, esp for starchy foods www.wecb.fm/man-dies-aft...

Top food trends for 2025 Tinned fish? β€œComplexitarian” dining? Buckwheat? See what’s next in the sustainable food world.

Great piece by the amazing @rebekahdenn.bsky.social for PCC Markets, a food co-op that serves shoppers focused on organic, natural foods. I think this is more useful than "trend" pieces by marketing agencies, which often cite campaigns they're working on for clients as "trends"

Big thanks to @lifesafeast.bsky.social and @katflinn.bsky.social for the turkey pot pie recipe. I used NY cheddar (so creamy) and in the filling I used potatoes (husband doesn’t like carrots/parsnips) and baby Limas instead of peas (H doesn’t like peas). Also used baby portabella shrooms. πŸ˜‹

Irene Flinn 1934 - 2024 - Kathleen Flinn My beautiful and amazing mother, Irene, has died. She had turned 90 on the 4th of July this year. She passed away just after midnight on the first day of autumn. If you read my third book, Burnt Toast...

My beautiful 90-year-old mom passed away - four days before the first of two hurricanes hit our home in Florida. I finally found the emotional strength to write about it.
