The Power of Fried Walleye…
Wine, soft music, slow dancing, cozy fire… Romantic, yes? How about fried walleye, humidity, family gatherings, and mosquitoes…? Well apparently that’s even hotter, rarrr, at least to the Meyer’s, since half of our family was conceived in late summer; in fact, awfully close to…Labor Day (sorry). We celebrated Meyer August Fertility in typical Meyer fashion…
Chocolate Pudding
I don’t bake or make desserts on a regular basis, but I do like to make treats for dinner parties and family birthdays. I’m always trying to lighten them a bit, trimming sugar and fat where I think it won’t compromise a recipe. Or leaving the frosting off a cake and serving it with berries…
Orange-Glazed Salmon and Grilled Artichokes
I mentioned here the delicious grilled artichokes we had in Santa Barbara – well, as often happens, the dish triggered a bit of a hankering and I decided to make them tonight. I googled “balsamic” and “grilled artichokes,” because I could tell the version we had was seasoned with balsamic vinegar, and I found the…
John’s Santa Barbara/Carmel Birthday Celebration
Back from lovely California – hey, where’d the sun go? John and I had a whirlwind birthday weekend, flying into L.A. and driving to Santa Barbara on Thursday. After stopping in Malibu for a quick road-side, fish-shack lunch (fish tacos!), we drove on to Bacara, a lovely resort just north of the city of Santa…
Happy Passover and Easter!
Pretty laid back holiday eating ’round these parts. I haven’t busted out any of my favorite Kosher for Passover recipes for my stepdaughter yet this year, maybe I will on Wednesday (popovers, brownies, matzo ball soup, or latkes?). Saturday night we just had K for P pasta, with marinara, and a pan full of sauteed…
Spring has Sprung – ?
It’s still chilly and colorless here in Minnesota, but the sun is shining, the robins are nesting, the trees are budding – let’s just call it and say that spring has sprung! Yes, April in Minnesota is pretty horrible (other than the birthdays of my son and husband), but that’s OK. Despite the cold, wet,…
Contrast
If you, like I, are stuck with the above (photo taken minutes ago), may I suggest the below for contrast. As you might have noticed, I turn to comfort-y foods to warm my soul when cold weather strikes, but this time – no. No because I’ve had enough soup (albeit delicious soup – lentil from…
Coming Up for Air…
After a week of being too sick to cook or eat much, I’m finally able to taste food again. Yes! I’m not interested in anything complicated or rich, but am definitely ready to venture beyond soup. I settled on sauteed shrimps, this version, which I modified last summer from a delicious appetizer that Stu The…
