Late Summer Soup
Hey all, I’m still kicking around. I spent last weekend in Madison, having a grand old time with my college girlfriends Cami and Michelle. We did the usual – stayed out too late Friday night, went to a Badger football game on Saturday, walked all over gorgeous downtown Madison and the UW-Madison campus, consumed the…
Out and About
Disjointed food preparation this last week, although not completely unsuccessful. I don’t think I planned one meal ahead, which is not my usual, and actually makes me feel completely whacked out. Even if I take two minutes with my calendar before I head to bed, it makes me feel like I know where the next…
Marine on St. Croix
I’ve been cooking all weekend, preparing to bring dinner out to our friends Shane & Kathleen, having myself a grand ol’ time. Shane & Kat live in Marine on St. Croix, in stunning Jackson Meadow, which Shane co-designed. We’re going to take Puppy Louis on his first day trip, float the lovely St. Croix river,…
Last Gasp
Image: http://www.bctree.com/images/photos/summer-peaches.jpg It’s cloyingly, annoyingly humid here in Minnesota this week. It’s like the summer we didn’t have finally settled in, now that it’s September. Hmmm. But despite a constitution that despises humidity, it’s all OK – it gives me a chance to enjoy the last-gasp treats of summer, to really dig in to tomatoes…
Pig Roast, Summer’s A-Wastin’ Party
So, as I mentioned below, BIG food weekend. John and I kicked it off all by our lonesome with another killicious din in the lounge at La Belle Vie. If you go, order a cocktail (with alcohol or no) – they’re all gorgeous and tasty. And then, feeling jazzy and chic, with ice cubes clinking…
Another Tomato Tart
Great food weekend, wow. More details later, but for now I’m posting a recipe for the easy tomato tart I made and brought to a dinner last night at Louis & Sue Ainsworth’s lovely home. I found the recipe on the excellent 101 Cookbooks blog and it’s a big, big winner. The Parmesan crust is…
Crêpes Farcies et Roulées (Stuffed and Rolled French Pancakes)
Well, John and I abandoned moderation yesterday in the name of Julia Child crêpes stuffed with ham and mushrooms, napped in sauce Mornay, and run under the broiler. I came to the idea in my typical way – I, er, stole it. We had a version of a similar dish the night before, at Bar…
Crab Cakes, Okra
I forget about crab cakes, which is too bad, given how easy they are to make and how delicious they are to eat. I was prompted to remember them by the okra I picked up—I just love crab and okra together. And I was prompted to pick up the okra, which I also tend to…
