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!)…

Holy, heavenly guacamole, I can’t wait to fly out of here tomorrow. And eat guacamole (preferably with warm tortilla chips, to die) upon arrival! I don’t even care if it’s in the sun (since my bod can’t take much sun anyhow), as long as it’s above, let’s say, 65 degrees. That’s 66 degrees warmer than…

I meant to write yesterday about darling Brussels sprouts, but I got distracted by the whole spring break thing – can you tell I’m a little excited to feel some warm sun? It’s been a long, cold winter. Still cold – 5 degrees as I write this. And it’s March. Ughs. Anyhow, I ran into…

I declare tonight Fish Night. It’s been awhile, and with a bikini calling my name starting Sunday (I’m so outta here, to Mexico with my long-time, KK-friend Michelle – thank you Michwheat, thank you Caribbean!), I’m definitely thinking dinner on the uh, lighter side. I tried on a pile o’ summer clothes to figure out…

Ah, back to reality. (Small sigh, wry smile…) And back to cooking for the fam! Tonight, I’m making a typical make-your-own Wild Wednesday dish, in this case chicken noodle soup. The kids take theirs light on the chicken (and veggies), heavy on the noodle. We adults reverse the ratio. Either way, a good chicken stock…
