With so many wonderful young people in our youngest generation of Kellers and so many exciting futures ahead for them, I thought it perfect to begin sharing some of their stories by congratulating Josie Keller and Martin Kungys on their engagement! Some of you already know Martin well, but others don’t, so I would like…

Bill Marquardt was quite the character. He was also a dear friend to both Rex and Marie, although he was especially fond of Mom/Grandma, as she was of him. “Uncle Bill”, as he was known, was an important figure in the Keller family’s lives through the 1950’s and well into the late 1960’s.

Featured on page 18 of the Family Cookbook, this quick but oh-so-satisfying dish is a perfect side dish to accompany any entree. Just reading the ingredients will remind…

With the coming of cooler (hopefully) temps, Kari and I thought that a spicy pasta sauce might appeal. Thus, Jenness’ Spicy Puttanesca Sauce from Cafe Citti in Kenwood (page 83). You NorCal folks might know it well.…
