Veggie heaven, oh yeah. Today was my second pick-up of vegetables from my La Finca CSA veggie share. A bounty of leafy greens, more than we could ever eat in just salads, so I got busy cookin’… First I made a gorgeously jade green spinach soup, with a hint of curry and cream. Hot or…

As all moms do, I’m always trying to sneak healthier versions of Nathan’s favs into his diet. He wanted a burger for lunch today, so I talked him into thin slices of steak (much leaner, and a much more modest serving than a burger), sauteed and served on a whole-grain bun with ketchup and pickles….

I had such a nice Father’s Day it could have been Mother’s Day! Romantically floating in the pool, pretty much all damn day. So yes, John’s dream day, especially when Nathan joined us too. Lots of chatting, good tunes, insane amounts of sun, and eventually a dry off and dinner on the patio at Bacio….

The weather gods smiled (grinned!) upon us yesterday and There Was Sun. Lots of sun, in fact. So let’s hear a big woo hoo for the weather gods, yeah! Wow, a gorgeous day, perfect for chillin’ in the pool with Rudy& Ana and Stu & Debbie and (several, ahem) glasses of cold wine. It was…

Swimmin’ & swimmin’ & swimmin’ some more. Splash! Wow, what a hot streak, days in a row of sunshiney hotness and we’re taking every advantage. We had my nephew Cooper Cuteness (aka Triple T, or Teeny Tiny Turducken) in the pool on Wednesday, and Cooper and Stacey and Etta in the pool on Thursday, and…

Smokin’ out there, hooeeey! That’s Minnesota for you (us), from mid-60s one week to mid-90s the next, with nary a lovely 70s in between. Sigh. So I’ll forgive you (me) for complaining that one week you’re freezing your butt off and the next yer sweatin’ like a frizzy-haired pig. Or something. Damn! Good for the…

Oooh, it’s a hot one out there today, definitely a day for hangin’ by the pool. Just John and me, since my stepdaughter left for a trip today, and Nathan’s spending the afternoon with his dad’s family. So…a little sun, a late-afternoon shower, a simple, light dinner of grilled shrimps with spicy braised green beans,…

Have you read Fast Food Nation or seen the movie (loosely based on the book)? John and I watched the ‘vie a couple of nights ago and dang, friends, I’m having a hard time shaking off some of those images. Which is the point, of course. And wouldn’t you know we’d had burgers for dinner…

Um, why am I up at 12:00 a.m. posting to my blog? Well…blame it on my neighbors. Tonight was the last “neighborhood women’s association meeting” (code for “wine and chat”) of the season (we’ll reassemble in September), always a very fun time (thank you to hostess Lisa, who put on a gorgeous party, even without…

Last week of school, this week, and then the crazy party we call summer begins. More baseball, lots of entertaining, visits from and trips to stay with family and friends, and driving, driving, driving for various sports and camps. I got a bit of a headache working on my calendar last night, ack. As usual,…
