Welcome

I had a demanding career back in the day and traveled a lot so needless to say, I would do about anything to avoid cooking. Ironically enough, I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.

Anyway, since my husband and I dined out several times a week and well, we still do, people always wanted my advice on where to eat, what to have, what is the best new hot spot and they wanted details, details, details. I live in a vacation spot so I would also be asked for recommendations on where to take out of town guests and by price range, no less. So this blog is a way for my friends, family and anyone who is interested to read about my latest dining or drinking experiences, mostly in and around south Florida. They might even find a recipe or two on those occasions I actually stay home. Good eating!

Dutch Cookie

Since I just started this blog and it's about food, it made me think back about a baked goodie my grandmother used to make. It was called Dutch Cookie - don't ask me why or where that name came from. I've searched but can't find anything like it. But as a kid, I just loved it. She would make pizza dough, or what seems to me that's what it was. She would spread it out onto maybe 3 or 4 round pizza pans and then she would take her fingers and make little pockets in the dough. She'd then make a mixture of brown sugar and eggs until it was a gooey, gloppy substance and then she'd pour that mixture over the dough spreading it out to the edges. She'd top it off with sprinkles of more brown sugar and cinnamon and bake. The smell was so good and it tasted wonderful - like a big sweet pizza.
