Buena sera! And wow, some evening it is here in the Minneapple. We’re just back from a family vacation in Italy, Forte dei Marmi in Tuscany (thus my writing absence, if you noticed, which you most likely did not, ha). Nathan, John, and I left last Wednesday, with John’s parents and brother’s family, got back…

Welcome Levi Sizzle Meyer! Levi is my sister Stacey’s new dog, 1.5 years old, an English Cocker Spaniel (just like my parents’ dog, Jake). Sooo cute! He’s Cooper’s little bro, so to speak, and Coop’s maybe a little jealous of him. But not for long, I suspect, because Levi is such a kid-friendly sweetie. Stace…

Where have I been all week? Sorry, it’s been a bit crazy ’round these parts, what with wrapping up the school year, getting some time with my nephew Cooper Cuteness, preparing for a big upcoming trip, and working on the house. Throw in a few parties (the beginning of summer fun!) and even a little…

Baseball, steaks, naan, and um, Volkswagen? Not quite as catchy (or kitschy) as the old Chevrolet jingle but the sentiment, while not pure Americana, is the same – man, there is nothing like a sunny summer’s day, ahhh. We caught some actual heat today, which meant real pool time for Nathan and John, a long,…

Ah, a little sun and warmth again, enough for me to be out on the porch, happy, happy. It just doesn’t want to be spring around here – two steps forward, one step back, I guess. Not complaining! The cool air, warm sun thing going today is fabulous! Our Friday lunch date at Lucia’s was…

Andrew Zimmern wrote a great piece on his Chow & Again blog this week about one of my favorite chefs, Doug Flicker. I don’t actually know him (Stacey used to work for him), but Doug used to run lovely Auriga (now closed, sniff) and the food I had there…it blew me away. His was the…

I don’t know about you, but I’d have a hard time getting through the day without plenty of sips of tea and coffee. It’s not about the caffeine – I have to down the decaf/low-caf version these days. (Old much? Sigh…) It’s really about flavor and interest. What can I say? My ‘buds get bored…

Wellll…I did end up scoring a bratwurst after all! We had dinner at my sister Stacey’s last night, and she grilled up some brats and burgers, so when in Rome… It was fantastic, by the way, crusty and spicy, summer in a bun. In a nod to moderation, I actually had half of one, on…

Grillin’ & chillin’, that’s the goal for Memorial Day weekend, right? Our lovely sunshine disappeared, but that’s OK. The grill still works in the rain! (Although the griller will be tucking her hair into a hat – no steak is worth frizzy hair, even if it is tenderloin, sniff.) As much as I lurve a…

Screened Porch Blogging, one of my very favorite things to do! Yep, yet another sign of spring when we drag the cushions up from downstairs and set up the ol’ porch. I love it out here, it’s cozier than the deck, what with a roof over my head and a spot for stringing up some…
