Here, there, and everywhere, blowing around with the wild November winds! Of note: A Persian-style Saturday lunch with Mary Pappas and Kathie Radcliffe, at Shiraz Fire Roasted Cuisine. Always fabulous to giggle and gossip with Mary and Kathie, especially while sipping hot tea from tall cups and eating fluffy saffron rice with beef/lamb skewers and…

Big baking day today, not my usual, but I had an awful lot of fun. Neither of the treats are for here – thank goodness! – but for sharing via John’s office bake sale tomorrow and our neighborhood women’s association gathering tonight. I bake something for John’s colleagues every year, for their annual United Way…

I’m a bit obsessed these days with oeufs (eggs) mollets (pronounced mo-LAY), otherwise known as peeled, soft-to-medium boiled eggs – fully cooked white with soft (but not runny, at least not in my version) yolk, served warm with salt and pepper. I’ve been messing around with a couple of different preparations, trying to nail down…

Hello from Vancouver! Well, actually, hello from Minneapolis, we just got back from Vancouver, but hey eh, it’s all the Great White North as far as I’m concerned! (Although Vancouver is much comelier than her older cousin Minneapolis…but shhhh, we won’t say that aloud…) Yes, John and I blew north last Thursday, via Seattle, arriving…

Happy Halloween! Our Halloween was all about my nephew Cooper this year. Coop! He was a monkey, scampering around saying “twick tweat” and “canny!” (For maximum cuteness, check out the video, below.) I have a feeling some little monkey will be sleeping pret-ty well tonight! Nathan donned…yep, Bucky Badger-wear, loosely as a costume, but mostly…

On Wisconsin! Nathan and I are back from our Badger Homecoming Adventure and we had a GREEEAT time. It was a quick trip – 48 hours door-to-door-to-door – but well worth the drive to see the lovely campus in all its fall glory. As a bonus (?) it was also Madison’s annual Halloween Freakfest celebration,…

Um, OK, sometimes I do like surprises – A LOT!!! Yes, my sweet husband looked past my unsentimental anniversary attitude (although I got him a killer gift too, which I haven’t been able to give him yet, but I know he’s gonna love it) and got me the most killerest, hardcore, rock-n-roll ankle boots EVAR….

Alright, after all my reading (I’ve been a bit buried for days, sorry), I’ve decided to back way off on sugars and grains. I haven’t completely eliminated them, of course, but I’m consuming very few. Even more emphasison fresh meat, dairy, veggies, fruits. Whole foods, baby! Actually not much of a change, I haven’t been…

Anniversaries. I don’t go overboard for the required celebrations (other than my 40th birthday, ha). Oh, John and I saw an amazing movie (Into the Wild), followed by a lovely dinner tonight, in the bar at La Belle Vie (always a winner) to celebrate our 5th annivesary. But the forced part of it, that this…

All hail kale! OMG I hated the stuff when I was kid – or at least I thought that I did, I never actually tried it. My Grandma Meyer cooked it, long and slow, with some form of pork (I think), which sounds absolutely delicious to me now but egads it stunk up her house….
