A six-minute post here, since that’s how long I have before I’m out the door for dinner at Duplex with Rudy, Ana, Stu, and Debbie for a post-Napa rehash/celebration. Unless I want to be late, which is certainly within the realm of possibility given, uh, me. Double the Fun at Duplex? I’ll (of course!) let…

I signed up for my La Finca CSA (community supported agriculture) veggie share today! Wow, summer is really going to come, finally, finally. I had so much fun cooking all my fresh La Fincaveggies last summer, can’t wait to do the same again this year. (Bring on the garlic scapes, baby!) Plus, this time around,…

How about a slice of Fresh Lemon-Coconut Cake? Oh yeah! Sooo good, baked by Susie Homemaker herself, apron and all, yesterday for last evening’s Feminine Hijinx get-together. (Recipe posted in comments, below.) And how about Fresh Lemon-Coconut Cakeon the patio? Even better! Because yes, it’s finally warm enough for al fresco dining, woo hoo! I…

“You’re supposed to take a nap-a, not move to Napa!” Carrie Bradshaw to Mr. Big, Sex and the City Well, I’d move to Napa, any day. So long Minnesota! Oh, right, I have a life here. Dang. Sigh. Well I’ll just have to go back (this was my third trip, it really is my favorite…

Hellooo! Back from Napa! And oh, what a trip. Trip of a lifetime. John, Stu the Wine Genius, his wife Debbie, and I all stayed in the gorgeous Howell Mountain-top home of winemaker Larry Turley (long story, we had rented a different house, but happily ended up in theirs). Rudy and Ana stayed at the…

Inspired by all my talk of tapas (see below for Jaleo, Jose Andres, The Sample Room, and cocktails with Kim & Suz), I’ve been flipping through Chef Andres’ Tapas A Taste of Spain in America for a nice Sunday evening menu. The book is chock-full of tempting tasties (I’ve posted several in the past, including…

Yawn! Stretch! Errrrr, good morning, my friends. A late night last night, hanging with my minxes Kim & Suz, here at the hacienda. We curled up in front of a roaring fire with plates of tuna and egg bruschettas, crispy roasted asparagus (we ate it with our fingers, just like fries, yum), olives, almonds, red…

Ah, I’m back, and so quickly! Ha. Now, dinner with Rudy & Ana and Stu & Debbie at The Sample Room this past Monday night. What a BLAST! I’d not been to The Sample Room before, it’s absolutely worth a trip over to NE. Great place for a group, casual, funky, with a very friendly…
