Going a little truffle this evening, heh, heh, heh. Just John and me, our usual Monday evening, and I’m itching to cook after a weekend of eating out. And I have this jar of white truffles, from Zabar’s, calling my name… I know, it’s nothing like having a fresh white (or black) truffle, I’ve had…

Happy Birthday Tom! Today is John’s little bro Tom’s birthday. Tom has assigned military codenames for the people in his life. His wife Valerie is Whitewater. His son Cameron is The General. I’m Smoky, so named a couple of years ago while John and Tom were on the phone on a Saturday morning while I…

Zabar’s baby! Oh yeah, oh yeah. NY-deli feast tonight, arrived this a.m., to celebrate round II of John’s birthday. Shrimp and lobster salads, H&H bagels, chive cream cheese, pastrami, corned beef, sour-dough rye, chocolate chip cookies. Basically, all of John’s favs. And mine too – OMG, can’t wait to sink my teeth into a warm…

Happy Bunny to You! One of the most entertaining Easter dinners I’ve experienced included a rendition of that song, sung to the dinner guests by one of my (to remain unnamed) friend’s usually teetotaller mom, after half a glass of wine. To the tune of Happy Birthday. Oh, man, it was fabulous, I thought my…

I burned a stack of arugula in offering to the weather gods last night – you should all thank me, at least here in Minneapolis, because apparently they were pleased and bestowed upon us once again a stunning day. Arugula is their favorite. None of this lamb or first-born son stuff. Arugula, baby. Sorry, a…

Cardinals, robins, chickadees, singing away – la, la, love it! Glorious weather these last few days, we could not have been luckier. Our weekend is over, the Levys have gone back to NYC, John’s back at work. Nathan is on spring break, spending the day with his Grammy Barb. Everyone is settling back into normal….

I guess for pure dramatic effect I begin with the spider legs, although they hardly represent the insane amount of fun I had last night. They did however, sort of kick off the night – I went downstairs to grab a bottle of wine for us to sip while recording Feminine Hijinx (we always have…

Beautiful, sunny Sunday, wow. And more cuteness this morning, Nikko and Addison waking up here and having a little brunch with us. They’re so good about eating, they happily had poached scrambled eggs with scallions, sausage, and streusel muffins. Two brunches in a row, not my usual, but hey, I’ll take it! The original plan…

Today is Cute Little Kid day in this house! First up, the adorable foodie-to-be Baby Noah (11 mos), visiting us for the first time with new mommy Rishia (daddy Andrew will be doing his Chowhounds radio show; we’ll toast him with a blueberry muffin…). Then later today, Addison (4) and Nikko (3), the daughters of…

Well, I suppose that today would be a good day to toss the pine boughs I still have on my dining room table. They’ve been there so damn long I’ve actually grown (almost) accustomed to them, ugh. I enjoy Christmas, but the whole decorating thing exhausts me. Especially taking it down, what a drag. Sigh….
