Happy Anniversary Browns
Ahhhh, it’s good to be home, as usual. We had a great time yesterday, hanging with Jon & Amy Brown, showing them all around the Hamptons, sitting on Georgica Beach, wrapping up with a romantic dinner (for their anniversary!) at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor. Man did I laugh yesterday, seriously, my stomach was…
East Hampton Does Not Suck, Part II
Despite persistent clouds and rain (boo), we’ve been able to spend a nice amount of time outside. On Friday, John and I fit in a stroll through lovely Sag Harbor, stopping for focaccia sandwiches at one of our favorite little cafes, Espresso. You only order one of these babies for two or more people –…
East Hampton Does Not Suck, Part I
The Hamptons, at least from my (very limited) perspective, is not about parties, people, or palaces. It’s about the landscape – so lush, so stunning, so not-Minnesota, it takes one’s breath away. I don’t know if it’s the pretty girls or the fancy cars that the trees get off on, but whatever it is, they…
Turns Out, I love Mondays
I had quite the soup day yesterday, two delicious versions. First was tomato soup at Yum! Bakery, where I met my mom for a sunny lunch. Very homemade, with a hint of cream, and a garlicky kick to finish, it made for a lovely lunch. (No charming, retro Yum! confections to tell of, sorry, just…
Getting Fresh
The Minneapolis Farmer’s Market is a fun place. It’s not as fabulous as say, San Francisco’s – what is? – but I still get a rush walking around, especially on Saturdays when it’s crowded, buying beautiful veggies and thinking about all the ways I can use them. Today I picked up heirloom cherry tomatoes, for…
Susie Vicki Cristina Barcelona Edina
Since last week was way too crazy, I made Susie a birthday lunch today, one week late, but better than never. I love cooking for my girls – they’ll eat anything so I can make all the things I love that others in the fam are too picky to eat. Like scallops. And polenta. Yep,…
David’s Not Too Cool for Minnesota – But It’s Close
Happy Labor Day! Flew by, of course, as all holiday weekends do, but this one was particularly fun because my brother David was here. That meant extra hang time with Stacey and Cooper too, and as a group we had a grand old time. We pretty much just chatted, cooked, ate, and hung by the…
Happy Birthday Suz!
Hey there. Ready for back-to-school? I think we are, it’s certainly a process, but one that’s near completion. I’m ready for Labor Day weekend, which is looking to be three sunny, gorgeous days here in Minnesota. NICE! My brother David arrives tonight to hang with us and Stace and Cooper-Doo over the weekend. We’ll definitely…
Annual (?) Summer’s End Feast at the Williams’
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…
Real Foodies Make Their Own Cheese
I’m not a Foodie, not really. Oh, I love to cook and eat (and talk about it!), of course, but I’m way too lazy to be a real Foodie, the kind that strives for the very highest quality and most unique of food experiences. I’m much more likely to let someone else crawl the city…
