Happy 100th Birthday, Oreos!

Today, March 6, 2012 is the 100th birthday of Oreo Cookies.  I do know a few people that don’t love Oreo cookies – but not many. Oreos have become a cookie icon in their 100 year history. Even I, organics-make-it-yourself freak that I am cannot resist the siren song of the Oreo.

As I was leafing through my blog (can you say that? I mean electronic leafing) I realized that I have numerous recipes that include Oreos as an ingredient. I thought posting a list of the recipes would be a great way to celebrate 100 years of twisting and dunking.  Ready? Continue reading

If you’re not already one of my regular readers at Flamingo Musings, I like to introduce myself proudly as “a middle-aged South Florida woman who’s never had any work done.”  Almost a year ago, I quit my government job of over a dozen years to make jam. So, yeah, you could say that I’m just a little bit, um, quirky. My family thinks I’m nuts, but that’s another story. Let’s stick with “quirky.”  Actually, that’s probably why Marye and I get along so well.

I’ve been playing with some of my Freakin’ Flamingo jams lately, and this gives me a chance to share one of my creations with you! Piña Colada Jam just has “Summer” written all over it, but you can do more than just slap it on your toast.

Here’s a sweet/savory supper idea that’ll take you 30 minutes or less to put on the table.  This recipe is for 2 servings, but you can easily multiply it for a crowd: Continue reading
