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…

Time for a Cooper-Doo update, don’t you think? We had a visit this week from my busy nephew, on Wednesday, and he was on-the-move. He’s an expert button-pusher and knob-twister. Anything that even sort of resembles a button or knob and out shoots his darling little hand, with his little carrot-shaped finger, and push, push,…

“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…

OK, more Napa… Day 2, Stu and Debbie arrived, so all six of us met up at Harlan Estate winery. We had an amazing tour, given by Sheila and Katherine, thanks to Stu. It’s not just anyone who gets a tour and tasting at Harlan; luckily, Stu has been on their mailing list for many…

Rudy and Ana stayed at the…

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…

Happy April! Ack, I know it’s been terribly long since I’ve posted. Craziness, what can I say? I’ve not been much in town, in fact, Nathan and I just returned from a spring-break trip to Washington, DC, just the two of us. Such fun! We arrived Thursday, checked into our hotel, and immediately set out…
