Hello? Moderation? Anywhere? Anywhere? After a lovely date-night feast (such as at Mission on Tuesday night), I would normally shoot for a much lighter day the next day(s). With lots of exercise. You know, to balance it all out. Moderate a bit? Ha. So I took off yesterday morning for a brisk (and insanely, miserably…

John and I achieved another lovely date night last night – this time dinner at Mission American followed by a drive around the University of Minnesota and the Riverfront District (the dinner + drive combo is our fav). Mission sits in the old Aquavit space (sniff, loved Aquavit) in IDS Center. Playfully chic interior, pretty…

Cuteness time! As I mentioned earlier, Nathan is with my sister Stacey and her baby Cooper, having a blast visiting my parents in Montana. Stace just sent these sweet pics today so I thought I’d share them for a few smiles. Coop’s red-haired self looks pretty little in the shadow of those mountains, fabulous. Hey,…

More cucumber raita tonight (it’s so good, I made it again today; it’s my new favorite cucumber salad), this time alongside king crab legs. Can you tell I was needing some new grill subjects? The tandoori turkey breast tenderloinlast night was scrumptious, definitely a keeper. Tender and flavorful, John and I had an awful lot…

Lookin’ for something to grill tonight? Me too, something other than steak or shrimp, so I flipped through my latest Cuisine at Home magazine for inspiration and decided on the gorgeous cover meal – tandoori turkey with peach chutney and cucumber raita. How fabulous does that sound? I am all over the spicy, sweet, salty,…

Double the pleasure, double the fun! With…two salads for lunch (sorry, not all that titillating, ha). First up a fresh plate o’bounty thanks to my LaFinca CSA veggie share – salad greens and arugula studded with chopped kohlrabi, onion, pea pods (love ’em raw) plus peppers and avocado from the grocery store. Followed by a…

Girls, girls, girls! Not in a Motley Crue kinda way (at which point I have to admit, I love me some Motley Crue, esp. Dr. Feelgood, on my iPod as I write this, no lie), but in a Suz + Baseball Moms kinda way. First up, Friday Morning (afternoon) Coffee with Suz, on her patio,…

Moderation? Mwahahaha… The day started nicely – I dropped Nathan at golf, then went for a lovely walk in the North Tyrol Hills neighborhood of Golden Valley (I walk all sorts of cool Minneapolis-area neighborhoods, especially the hilly ones; much more interesting to me than walking around the lakes and more potential for torching cals)….

A quick post here since for some strange reason, I’m pretty tired tonight, even after a nicely moderate, party-free day. It’s in honor of moderation, in fact, that I thought I’d share an interesting observation. I had two burgers today, one for lunch, one for dinner. Doesn’t sound moderate, I know, but stay with me….

A relaxing, mellow Saturday today – hot as hell, but that’s OK. It was a good day to not have to do much of anything, given how tired I am from staying up so late last night. Why oh why do I do it? I know that I’m too old for such shenanigans…but there I…
