Commanderie de Bord…oh!

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Nov 15, 2008 at 9:56am

Ah, good morning. I’m up and at ’em, perhaps a bit on the late side, but in surprisingly good form considering the wickedly not (!) moderate 16 wines I tasted last night. Santé! Yes, as Debbie and Stuart Williams’ guest at the November meeting of the Commanderie de Bordeaux, I was on my best behavior…

Bling, Chat, and Icy Heat

Silpada, Silpada – if you’re a woman in my family, be on alert, you are most likely getting Silpada jewelry for Christmas. Suz is a Silpada rep, so I’ve hosted a couple of parties, which have led to other of my friends hosting parties, including my friend Polly last night and Baseball Mom Sonja this…

Tequila for the Halibut

Well, it was all downhill from there… I lost last week to a nasty cold and cough, but I’m back in fighting form this week. Whew. Despite feeling under the weather I enjoyed a couple of good meals, at week’s end, starting on Friday night with Debbie and Stu The Wine Genius Williams and Rudy…

Annual (?) Summer’s End Feast at the Williams’

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 24, 2008 at 9:12am

Good morning, sunshine! It’s hard not to be up-and-at-em on a morning like this, sunny and crisp, wow. Debbie and Stu the Wine Genius have probably already had breakfast at Lucia’s and climbed a mountain, despite hosting us (and Ana Scofield and Rudy Maxa) for a fabulous din last night. That’s just how they are…

A Perfectly Summery Sunday

Posted by Stephanie Meyer on Aug 17, 2008 at 7:36pm

Gosh, what a lovely weekend, huh? I can’t remember a summer with nicer weather than we’ve had this year – warm, dry, I’m really trying to savor every minute of it. Man, when it so chooses, Minnesota quite RAWKS. Nice. I opened the rawkness with an uncharacteristic bit of baking, motivated by my lovely CSA…

So, I mentioned below that on the 4th, Stu The Wine Genius made the most delicious shrimp appetizer – a saltimbocca of sorts, shrimps and fresh sage wrapped in pancetta and grilled. We devoured them. Enter a craving… When my car died on Monday, it cut out a grocery run that would have included a…

Happy 4th of July! Ready for some fun in the sun? Or a quiet, relaxing day? I have to say, one of the best 4ths I’ve ever had was a few years back when John and I went on a long bike ride followed by a picnic of fried chicken, fresh cherries, cheeses, and white…

Another Sunny Sunday, we’ll absolutely take it. This weekend flew by, zip zap, and now I’ve got sun rash and the weekend’s just about over. Crazy. It’s been a weekend of eating food prepared by others – no complaints. Thursday lunch I dined a la Suz at Lucia’s, aka The Perfect Lunch Spot. Romantic or…

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…

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…
