Happy Mother’s Day! Sniff. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely Mother’s Day – here I sit in my sunny, comfy office, in my jammies, with a hot cup of coffee, typing away (clearly one of my very favorite things to do), having just read the perfect, lovingly handmade card from my son. Love…

Here’s a lovely, simple summer’s “meal,” fresh and light and perfect for eating outside. Grilled bread. Yep, grilled bread, warm, crusty/chewy, a little garlicky/salty, ready to be topped with any number of tasties, or served floating in a bowl of simple soup. Or with nothing at all, of course, it’s that good. Buy a loaf…

I’m dining alone this evening…what should I make? I’m thinking either a simple frittata (spinach, onion, and tomato, cuz that’s what I have) or grilling myself a veggie mushroom burger (the meat-free kind, I actually really love them) to eat in a toasted whole-wheat pita with avocado and sundried tomato spread. Both sound great, it’ll…

Happy Birthday Stacey! My l’il sis (aka Cooper’s mommy), all growed up, ha. Her birthday was actually yesterday, but we’re celebrating it tonight with a deja vu dinner at Duplex Restaurant & Wine Bar with the whole fam. Gorgeous day out there, perhaps we can even eat outside on the porch! Oh, how I love…

Recap: Spider-Man III = Fun. Walleye = Good. Good night’s sleep = Yummy. Rainy weekend = Sucks. My dad’s fried quail for Sunday lunch = going to be Mighty Fine (not happening until later today). Coop hanging with my dad = Adorable. I’d like to go for a long Sunday’s walk, but…I don’t want to…

Soooo…those of you who bet that I wouldn’t actually make that walleye last night – you win! Big surprise, haha, I started talking at 5:00 and didn’t stop until 9:30! Happy Hours, woo hoo! Gosh I had a great time, gabbing with Baseball Moms Beth, Bobbi, and Jen. Usually someone is running off to a…

Friday Morning Coffee with Suz! It had been a few weeks again so I was very, very glad to pull it off today. Not our usual light-hearted fare, which made it even more important to get together. (Wo)manning one’s way through the intracacies of life without the ear and support of good friends would be…

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…
