This is my 2026 food blog with my food photos.

What’s in the basket this week?

Eating out is for my own love of food and sharing my favorites with you.

Hi, I’m Barb.

I  love trying different cuisines. I have had to adjust my tastes due to different medical issues that have arisen over the last 15 years. I no longer eat in at the physical Restaurant or Cafe. I usually get home delivery.
