Spring unsprung and a sick son (bad cough), yet doing our best to keep chins up. Good thing we Minnesotans are hardy, yah, otherwise we might complain or something. Ahem. I’ll stick to the highlights. Saturday night, John and I attended a fundraiser. Wha? Alright, I admit the term fundraiser doesn’t usually conjure images of…

Artisanal. The term is tossed around every-damn-where in the food/wine world these days, unfortunately starting to imply overwrought and/or pretentious; which is a shame, since all it basically means is hand-crafted. And since hand-crafted is the opposite of mass-produced (i.e. highly processed, artificially colored, flavored, and preserved, and as such potentially bad for the body…

Thank you. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to write more thank you notes, and since this is where I most often write, here’s a quick thank you note for reading my blog and passing it along to others. I owe John and Stu the Wine Genius promoter’s fees, truly. Stu’s forwarded my blog…

Happy Valentine’s Day! Nothin’ like a little love on VD, we all need some love, right? If you’re cooking up love for your honey, which I most often do (although not tonight; more on that, below), it’s hard to beat the, uh, aphrodisiac perfume of truffles, even in something as simple as Chicken Soup with…

Wow, uh, wow! That about sums up dinner last night, just… Wow. Stu the Wine Genius arranged a Chateauneuf du Pape wine tasting and dinner at Create Catering, owned by Philip Dorwart and his lovely wife Desiree. What. A. Blast. Create owns a cool-as-hell space in NE Minneapolis, perfect for our table of 12 (Rudy…

Party Crasher, that’s me! John’s law firm hosted a meet-n-greet with an accounting firm last night and with permission (I wasn’t a total crasher), I happily horned in on the delicious appetizers (catered by the Modern Cafe), vino, and chat. Organized by John’s partner Jennie Clark, who is on the board of the Minnesota Center…

Dinner and a movie, pretty hard to beat. Even (or especially?) on a bitterly cold, slippery-snowy evening. John and I hit a late-afternoon showing of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the intense true story of French Elle publisher Jean-Dominic Beauby. Beauby, at the age of 42, suffered a sudden, massive “cerebral event” which left…

Moving Day! No, not for me, heavens no, but for Susie. So, instead of Friday Morning Coffee with Suz, it was Load Up My Car with Suz’s Stuff, ha. It was…fun! Yes, fun! I’ve given her and The Coreman all sorts of crap about being too old for a do-it-yourself move, but it’s all actually…

Oh, bad, bad Stephanie. I am soooo cheating on my blog with a new (equally, fabulously) narcissistic online addiction – Facebook! Help, my friend Maud “friended” me and it’s been all (fun, decadent) downhill ever since! Here I am, on a beautiful, sunny Labor Day – at my computer. And loving it, what can I…

After Saturday’s Date Day and Monday’s Date Night, we’ve had a couple of days of very simple, low-key eating (and tough, tough walks and bike rides in this heat, makes me feel like I’ve hit a brick wall, ugh). Moderation, you know, ha – woo hoo! Mostly salads, although tonight I made a simple, garlicky,…
