Tomato Bread Soup: Way Better Than Grandma Used to Make
I keep forgetting to post a recipe for one of my favorite soups – pappa al pomodoro, or tomato bread soup. I had a delicious bowl in Tuscany, very thick, topped with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Last weekend a craving popped up, as cravings tend to do, and I went digging for my…
Mom Does the Minneapolis Farmer’s Market
Mom and I headed over to the Farmer’s Market early this morning and cashed in on lots of tasties. First off, a grilled brat for breakfast, smothered in sauteed peppers and onions, topped with kraut, relish, and mustard. With a beer, I would have been ready for a Badger football game! But no, instead we…
Minx Mischief at Lurcat
Dang I had a great time tonight (uh, technically last night) at Lurcat with Kim & Suz. We spiffed and spritzed up a bit and sashayed into the sparkly bar, ready for gazpacho with anchovy toasts, mini-burgers, and frites with naughty Bearnaise for dipping. Went down like buttah (Bearnaise!), baby, sooo good. Especially the brrrgrrrs,…
L’Chaim!
L’chaim! Yep, I get dinner out with my minxes tonight, woo hoo! We’re hitting up Bar Lurcat this time, for gazpacho, mini-burgers, and those irresistible, cursed frites. I even have straight hair (for now) since I got my hair cut today – a blow out in this weather is only worth it if someone else…

Hoooey it’s a hot one, wowzers. Did we swim today? Hell no, we ran errands – hot errands – like crazy people, but what can you do? Let’s just say that I’m very grateful for light-colored car seats. I told Nathan that my dad used to drive – waaaay back in the day, circa early-1970-something…

Geez (OMG, John just said the word ‘geez’ right while I typed that – perhaps coincidence, or as he cracked, because we’re ‘yoked‘, ha), I really need to pull out my damn cam when we socialize. Argh! Last night we had dinner at Morton’s, with Mack’s and Zimmern’s, to celebrate Aaron’s birthday. No pic, unless…

If you were waiting for me to post recipes for gazpacho or shrimp saltimbocca, both recipes are up now. My apologies for the lame (let’s face it, lazy) delay! Last night I whipped out my new Weber Poultry Roaster again, man I love that thing. Absolutely no mess or fuss – I opened the grill…

Over this past Date Weekend, great biking (a correctly tuned bike! I’m so into it!) with John and a couple of lovely meals out to boot. As I mentioned below, we kicked off a long weekend together last Thursday, in the uber-romantic bar at Cafe Lurcat (twinkly chandeliers everywhere, pic from their website). No frites…

Ooh, I have a cool new grill tool to rave about – the Weber Poultry Roaster! A sort of Chicko for the grill, or as Weber bills it, “beer-can chicken without the beer can.” It has a little depression to fill with liquid – I innovated and poured in a bit of white wine with…

Wild Wednesday coming up! That means a visit from my nephew, Cooper Cuteness, yay! Cooper brightens our week, bigtime, especially since he says “n” for “l” at the beginning of words – that means he nuvs (loves) his new dog Nevi (Levi). Beyond cute. (Of course I haven’t talked to him for a week, which…
