Wonderful Vegetables
I love living in Glendale and having all these small fresh vegetable grocery stores. Today, I happened to go to two different stores, and one had giant mushrooms, and the other, Edna’s had small, heart-shaped red peppers. Both were just the size for stuffing.
Scrambled Burger Quiche
Scrambled Burger Quiche is my take on one of my favorite meals. Many years ago, we used to go to a restaurant that had something called Scrambled Burgers. I loved them, being a mixture of ground beef, spinach, onion, and cheese. I thought that combination would make a wonderful quiche.

I remember when the wonderful movie Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe came out in 1991, and I wanted to try fried green tomatoes. It was not until 1993 that I was able to get a hold of green tomatoes to make the dish, and again in 2009.
When I was at the corner store, there was a big box of beef steak sized beautiful green tomatoes. I bought two, and I’m going back for more. Those tomatoes were wonderful!

It was cold in Glendale, and Accuweather said that it might even snow on Saturday, so I thought it would be a good idea to have soup for dinner on a cold rainy night. It was Friday, so that also meant no meat. I also wanted something fun to eat with the soup, and wontons sounded like a plan.
New Years Eve Asian Chicken Wings
Recipes in this Post
When I was a little girl, my mother took me to some function where there were Asian chicken wings on the buffet table. I have always loved chicken wings, and these were wonderful.
For years, I have been trying to duplicate them, never with success. Either they were burned, or they tasted flat, or they were too salty, or they were too sweet, or they were not brown at all. Yuk! Well, I was determined to finally start the New Year with a great recipe.
Without further ado, the recipe!

Well, I’m not in that sort of pickle. I made Watermelon Rind Pickles.
