Burgers, Burgers Everywhere
You can tell we’re heading into summer by the number of burger posts around the web. The goods (don’t worry, not all of them are decadent!)… President Obama and Vice President Biden stopped for lunch at Ray’s Hell Burger in DC this week. Check out this fun blogpost reviewing the place – which sounds fantastic…
Slow Down
Perhaps you heard this week about a recent survey that reveals the French spend almost twice as much time eating each day as Americans do? My ears immediately perked up, wondering (as I’ve often wondered) about the connection between speed of food consumption and weight. I’ve noticed in my own life that the more slowly…
More Salmon…
OK, a new angle on salmon, given my previously stated difficulties in finding an edible version in Minnesota. Taking a page from our foodie friends Kris & Harry, I ordered online. Since I forgot the site they recommended, I poked around myself and chose Vital Choice Wild Seafood for their sustainable practices and interesting product…
Fava, Morel, Coconut
Oh, divine spring, my first plate of morels and favas of the season. Takes a bit of preparation – the favas must be removed from their pods, then quickly blanched, then pinched out of their waxy skins; the morels need a good rinse to remove grit before a quick saute in a teaspoon of olive…
Grill Baby Grill
Even if you took a break this winter, I’ll bet you’re grilling again now – it’s warm enough for just about everyone to fire ‘er up. Although eating an abundance of grilled (charred) food is sadly not a good idea, I’m not going to sweat one or two grilled meals per week. It’s just so…
The Power of Fried Walleye…
Wine, soft music, slow dancing, cozy fire… Romantic, yes? How about fried walleye, humidity, family gatherings, and mosquitoes…? Well apparently that’s even hotter, rarrr, at least to the Meyer’s, since half of our family was conceived in late summer; in fact, awfully close to…Labor Day (sorry). We celebrated Meyer August Fertility in typical Meyer fashion…
Chocolate Pudding
I don’t bake or make desserts on a regular basis, but I do like to make treats for dinner parties and family birthdays. I’m always trying to lighten them a bit, trimming sugar and fat where I think it won’t compromise a recipe. Or leaving the frosting off a cake and serving it with berries…
Orange-Glazed Salmon and Grilled Artichokes
I mentioned here the delicious grilled artichokes we had in Santa Barbara – well, as often happens, the dish triggered a bit of a hankering and I decided to make them tonight. I googled “balsamic” and “grilled artichokes,” because I could tell the version we had was seasoned with balsamic vinegar, and I found the…
John’s Santa Barbara/Carmel Birthday Celebration
Back from lovely California – hey, where’d the sun go? John and I had a whirlwind birthday weekend, flying into L.A. and driving to Santa Barbara on Thursday. After stopping in Malibu for a quick road-side, fish-shack lunch (fish tacos!), we drove on to Bacara, a lovely resort just north of the city of Santa…
Happy Passover and Easter!
Pretty laid back holiday eating ’round these parts. I haven’t busted out any of my favorite Kosher for Passover recipes for my stepdaughter yet this year, maybe I will on Wednesday (popovers, brownies, matzo ball soup, or latkes?). Saturday night we just had K for P pasta, with marinara, and a pan full of sauteed…
