Do you have big Memorial Day plans? Not me, thank goodness. May has been a crazy-busy (fun!) bacchanal and I’m looking forward to a quiet, healthy reprieve. I took a long bike ride yesterday, and followed by the grilled fish and pile of vegetables I prepared last night, it put me in the right mood…

I’ve been grilling a fair amount of rainbow trout lately – it’s one of my very favorite fish to eat, plus since I’ve learned that the farm-raised version is of high quality and safe to eat, I feel I can eat it without worry or guilt (source: Environmental Defense Fund Seafood Selector, a must-read site…

Well hello sunshine! It is some kind of gorgeous outside this morning, wow – bright green, bright blue, crisp and fresh. We forget that a few times per year, Minnesota is where it’s at. Take that, New York… Right. I’m kidding, and only attempt the flabby jab because that’s where we were Sunday through yesterday….

I think I finally dare to plant flowers and herbs. I’m usually itching to get out there; but this year, with our snowy, freezing, miserable April and May? Meh. Then I walked outside this morning… Oh, it smells like flowers! It smells like (gasp) spring! And just like that, I’m ready. Hmmm, I think I’ll…

Ooh, I found ramps (wild leeks) at Whole Foods today, yummy. I found (more) morels and fava beans as well. Springy springy! And naughty naughty, because it threw off my whole dinner plan. Or, I should say it doubled my dinner plan – the original plan is still in place, but just for Nathan and…

And now it’s Monday. The parties are over, Mother’s Day has come and gone, and it’s high time to depuff. Bites of pastry, pizza, and lemon tart are lovely, all things in moderation after all… But fresh fruit and vegetables are lovely too, and given the havoc that too many refined carbs, drinks, meat, and…

Ahhh,Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you’re all enjoying a lovely day! I sure am – John’s doing the dishes from last night’s dinner party – now that’s a gift. (As you can see in the pic, we put a fair amount of tableware through its paces.) So, last night’s dinner menu (recipes posted in comments,…

OK, here’s the deal. It’s just about midnight (which makes it Sunday, Mother’s Day, Happy Such to all you Madres out there)… I got oh, about five hours of sleep last night due to Nathan’s Boy Soup birthday sleepover… I have a cold… I just spent the entire day prepping a three-course dinner for nine…

Hallelujah, dining al fresco has finally arrived! Everything tastes better outside, in the fresh air, don’t you agree? It’s all about hitting the Sensory Sweet Spot – a perfectly balanced stimulation of the five senses (my definition). A little wine and cheese in your kitchen? Nice. A little wine and cheese on your deck, alongside…

Congratulations Rudy Maxa! Rudy’s new series, Rudy Maxa’s World, debuted Saturday, May 3, and tonight was the celebratory party at Nick & Eddie. I went early, left early; John arrived late, left late – we overlapped by oh, about 10 minutes. But that’s cool, I get to see my Johnny all the time – but…
