When we do beach in Minnesota, it’s at a lake, of course. Or even better, it’s on a lake, in a boat, with a cooler full of snacks & supplies, good tunes, and enough engine oomph to pull the water ski- and intertube-inclined of the group. Ahhh, warm sun, cool breeze, cold beer, beautiful views….

Man, when it rains, it pours…literally and figuratively. Certainly with yesterday’s storms, there was plenty of the literal wet stuff – much needed and quite welcome, actually. But the figurative type, not so much, at least not in the form of the fallen tree that crushed part of our fence (thankfully nowhere near the house)…

So, I mentioned below that on the 4th, Stu The Wine Genius made the most delicious shrimp appetizer – a saltimbocca of sorts, shrimps and fresh sage wrapped in pancetta and grilled. We devoured them. Enter a craving… When my car died on Monday, it cut out a grocery run that would have included a…

Humid. Humid air makes humid armpits and humid hair (evil, frizz) and for me, a dangerously humid mood. I know, I know, I blather about the weather (and its effect on my mood, hair) almost more than I blather about food. What can I say? Perhaps it’s the farmer in my blood, even if three…

Bonus! Not only is new potato-green bean salad tasty when you first serve it (which I just did for the 4th), but it makes a killer salad Nicoise the next day – toss fresh greens with a bit of vinaigrette, top with potatoes and green beans, add hard-cooked egg, olive-oil packed canned tuna, black olives…

Another blast of a 4th of July for the books. You know, I’m kinda deciding that the 4th is my favorite holiday – first of all it’s a Shubert holiday, guaranteed fun. Plus the sunshine, hanging by the pool, grilled food, cold beer, and fireworks… I don’t know, I think it’s pulling neck-n-neck with Thanksgiving,…

Happy 4th of July! Ready for some fun in the sun? Or a quiet, relaxing day? I have to say, one of the best 4ths I’ve ever had was a few years back when John and I went on a long bike ride followed by a picnic of fried chicken, fresh cherries, cheeses, and white…

Another Sunny Sunday, we’ll absolutely take it. This weekend flew by, zip zap, and now I’ve got sun rash and the weekend’s just about over. Crazy. It’s been a weekend of eating food prepared by others – no complaints. Thursday lunch I dined a la Suz at Lucia’s, aka The Perfect Lunch Spot. Romantic or…

Here’s why I love this pot of basil: 1. It’s basil, duh-yum, which contributed mightily to the tasty herb frittata I made for din tonight, and will star in many tomato, pasta, salad, and egg dishes to come this summer. All Hail Basil.2. The pot, which was originally my Grandma & Grandpa Meyer’s, for whom…

Now we’re talking, now it feels like summer. The catmint in our yard is in riotous, excessive bloom, a purple explosion ironically contained in tidy, linear beds. Virtually alive with honey bees, the effect is stunning as I sit here on the deck, in my robe, with a cup of coffee, on a sunny-cool Sunday…
