Heart Pizza and Pink Lemonade for Saint Valentine's Day
Shaping your pizza dough into a heart and...
cutting the pepperoni into hearts makes a simple St. Valentine's Day meal.
To make these pink sugar rimmed glasses, I dipped the rims in pink lemonade concentrate and then into pink sugar. I made the rest of the concentrate into the pink lemonade that filled the glasses.

Capt. Berk's Oyster Stew
I know this is not the season for oysters, but in honor of Father's Day, I wanted to post a recipe that was handed down to me from my father. My father was a waterman and tonged oysters from the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay each winter. He was even once featured in Diner's Club magazine. Here is his simple but wonderfully delicious Oyster Stew recipe.1 pint oysters
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 can of Evaporated Milk
2 Tab. butter
In a heavy bottomed saucepan saute celery in the butter until the celery starts to become clear. Add oysters, with their liquor, and simmer until the edges of the oysters begin to curl. Add milk and simmer 15 minutes. Serve hot with crackers.
A Pot of Hot Cocoa
My kids love hot cocoa when they come in cold from making snowmen in the wintertime, but they also love it in the summer. They come in from the pool and into the air conditioning and they begin to complain of being cold. I think I am just a sucker and they have just figured out a way to get hot cocoa in the summertime, but I pretend I don't know. Here is how to make it homemade for a crowd.
3 cups boiling water1 cup of evaporated milk, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tea. vanilla
1/8 tea. salt
Combine sugar, cocoa, vanilla and salt in teapot. Add about 1/8 cup boiling water. Stir well; until ingredients have blended. Add the rest of the water (2 7/8 cups) and milk. Stir.
