Well, John and I ended up going for a drive yesterday, a mini-day trip. We love going for beautiful drives, it’s “our” thing, so yesterday we chose to head south, along the gorgeous St. Croix River Valley down to the Lake Pepin area. We drove down Minnesota Hwy 61 and back up Wisconsin Hwy 35,…

Whoa, that was a hell of a gust of wind… That’s what both John and I were simultaneously thinking as we shot awake last night, around 3:00 a.m., as lightning flashed almost continuously and sheets of rain slammed the windows. You see, we were both fully aware of – and freaking out about – the…

Hey! Almost the end of Thursday, thought I’d sneak in a quick post. Fun, fun dinner tonight with Bill & Karla, Joe & Genie, and Stu (The Wine Genius) & Debbie here a the hacienda. Summer casual, as in very, sticking to the menu I outlined yesterday except I baked a Summer Fruit Upside Down…

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,…

Date Night! At night, this time, a rather last minute affair, and quite nice at that. We went for al fresco casual, in Dinkytown, at Kafe 421, so I kept the bling-age to a minimum, just this funky ring I got for a song a couple of weeks ago (sorry, Maven, I can’t do the…

Oh, a fabulously restorative dose of Cooper Cuteness this weekend, Mr. Busy himself, in a constant state of motion-giggle-chat. John, Nathan, my dad, and I settled into my sister Stacey’s (check out her new website!) lovely home this evening for an early Summer Sunday Dinner. Stace and I put the low-maintenance menu together via email…

Date Night – I mean Day! Due to my stepdaughter feeling under the weather, John and I ended up with some unexpected free time today, so we quickly reconfigured our plans and headed straight for La La Lucia’s for a decadently late and romantic brunch, sipping mimosas while watching the rain fall outside. Sigh. When…

Baseball Moms and their boys were here last Sunday (sheesh, it’s already Thursday, I’m behind!) for a sunny, splashy day of play and snacks and chat. So FUN! We had my favorite type of food day – potluck, baby, with yummy dips and spreads (Sonja’s Gorgeous Cheeseball!) and chips and bars and pie. And hot…

Two down, one to go! Woo hooooo, we are party central again this weekend! Friday night we were invited to dinner by a family at Nathan’s new school. So fun – cool people, lovely home, great kids, and delicious wine and food. Salmon, fresh herbs and vegetables, a drizzle of lemon juice and olive oil,…
