Tapas for dinner, I’ve decided, mostly after I picked up my LaFinca CSA veggie share. Green beans and tomatoes for Spicy Braised Green Beans. Carrots for A Pile O’ Roasted Carrots (uh, they’ve been piling up in the cooler, time to pile ’em into our stomachs). Peppers, more tomatoes, and potatoes for a frittata. I…

Cooper Cuteness Wednesday! (I babysit my year-old, red-haired nephew Cooper each Wednesday, The Best.) He’s busy today, loving Bucky (my Bucky Badger bobblehead), mya-man (derived from Spider-Man, it now means various of Nathan’s action figures), eez (I think cheese, for grilled cheese sandwich), ana (banana), and mik (milk). He emptied a few cupboards, played a…

Back to school! And Tuesday Morning Coffee with Suz and Kim! As always, great to catch up with my minxes, sip some joe, and cackle and laugh my butt off. All good, baby, all good. I got around to roasting our chicken rather on the late side last night – John and I didn’t eat…

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…

Ahhh, home sweet home, baby. As lovely as it is to be away, especially in a place as insanely gorgeous and idyllic as the Hamptons, it is great to be settled at home, too. Here I am, unpacked (yes, I am unpacked, I who loathes major-buzzkill-downer-vacation-is-over-unpacking, I just bit the bullet and did the dirty…

Hello from East Hampton! We’re having a lovely vacation with my in-laws (Dot & John) this week, away from the rain and gloom in Minnesota. The drought is officially over, eh? Sheesh. It was raining here, too, when we arrived (on Tuesday). But the sun peeked through last evening and is shining still (at least…

I think it takes a drought to fully appreciate a fabulously dark, chilly, rainy weekend like this has been. Oooh, so cozy, truly. I’ve made brunch twice – TWICE! – for John and me (I hardly ever make brunch). Yesterday I made little pizzas, topped with a bit of bacon, fresh rosemary, fresh tomato, garlic,…

Glorious day, eh? Wow, spectacular. What a difference a break in the humidity makes – the air positively sparkles in this late-summer sun. Saucy Suz and her kids, Vivian and Sullivan, came over for a lovely swim today, and we just soaked it all in, knowing – and feeling, for the first time – that…

Mya-man, mya-man! That’s Cooper-speak for Spider-Man, whom thanks to Nathan, Cooper now loves. Stace and Nathan donned expired Halloween costume masks for maximum Spideyness, leaving Cooper alternately excited, confused, and a little scared (as you can see in the pic). Mya-man! Cooper calls me Ne-uh-nee, totally adorable. For the longest time there was only Mama,…

Here’s a good day – Tuesday Morning Coffee with Suz (Kim’s in China, lucky girl; we’ll snag her next week) and Tuesday Afternoon Hangin’ with Nathan (my son, not in a camp this week for the first time this whole summer; he’s been BUSY!). It’s again been waaaay too long since I could sip and…
