Terribly tricky to be moderate at Broadway Pizza, arguably the best ‘za in the Twin Cities. An old-fashioned, no-frills, thin-crust pie, with just the right amount of lightly-spicy sauce and molten cheese. That melty-over-crisp thing is what pizza is all about (to me), stirring happy college memories of heavenly, perfect after-bar slices, wolfed down at…

I’m steering myself toward spring-y, lighter fare these days. The two trips in a row – despite lots of walking and beautifully fresh fruits and veggies – definitely have me feeling weighed down. Blech. My butt declares it’s high time to cash in on the mood boost of these longer days of sunlight (cuz I’m…

Fab Friday! And a beautiful one to boot – lalalaaah! The sun is shining and slowly melting all that damn snow. I squeezed in Friday Morning Coffee with Suz, the first in many weeks. And since I flew solo for dinner, I made myself a plate of tasty, healthy favorites – fish (in this case…

Well, there it is, our Bizarre Foods debut behind us. Whew! I was very nervous watching last night (although not as nervous as I was on my way to film it, ack). I thought the food looked delicious (it was) and not overly bizarre, right? In fact, we lucked out hugely being invited for the…

Well, tonight’s the big night, Bizarre Foods – Minnesota! I’m very curious to see how our meal at Heartland, with Andrew and our friend Aaron Mack, plays! Yeah, we ate various and sundry parts, but it was all so deliciously and attractively prepared that it was easy to dig in. Chef Lenny Russo certainly deserves…

Bit on the tired side today, after making a BIG caffeine mistake yesterday – after our lovely Easter dinner, I sipped not one but two delicious mugs of dark, French-press coffee with my lemon pie. Someone didn’t pay a bit of attention to whether it was decaf or not. (Talk much, Stephanie?) Guess what I…

Happy Bunny to You! Ahh, home. Nathan and I got off the plane from San Francisco this afternoon and went straight to my Dad & Susanna’s for Easter dinner with my aunt Mary & uncle Bruce, as well as Stacey& Cooper. Couldn’t ask for a sweeter way to ease back in to winter, you know?…

Hey, I forgot to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day yesterday! Mostly because I hardly thought about it, until I decided to rummage through the cooler to see what I could scare up for dinner. What I discovered was quite green – green beans and arugula – hey, a subconscious St. Patty’s Day dinner! I created…

Didn’t even come close to posting again yesterday, ah well. Even an exhibitionist like me has to hole up for a bit! Not to mention, it’s been a mite crazy around here these days, what with being away and having house guests and such. And Nathan and I are outta here again on Wednesday, this…

Hola! Hola! Back from Mexico, in fact since Thursday night, but I’ve been having too much fun hanging with the Bryt family, visiting from New York, to scratch a post together! It’s been a fast blast of weekend, with Bartley arriving Wednesday for work, and Maud and their daughters Catherine and Natalie joining him (us!)…
