This is what we had for dinner last night. Again, adapted from Food & Wine’s September, 2007 issue. Seriously, I thought that Chris was going to choke when he looked at the serving dish in the center of the table containing nothing but plain-looking pasta and vegetables. I must say,...
We tried a new recipe last night which I adapted from Food & Wine’s September 2007 issue that focused on Italy. If you’ve got no problem with eating veal, I’d suggest trying this. I made the entire dish on the grill. Ingredients: 2 veal loin chops (big, thick ones) salt and pepper...
I was milling about the living/ dining room area trying to neaten things up a bit when I came across the rice cooker (one of those gadgets that I love, yet frequently forget about). I took a peek into the fridge and realized that I had nothing to eat for...
So we had a surprise 50th birthday party to attend yesterday and I didn’t want to show up empty-handed. Problem was that I also couldn’t really cook or bake anything due to the no stove/ oven, too windy for the grill kind of day. Jar of nutella on hand equals...
No stove, no grill with side burner, no problem. My stove is in the living room (where it will remain until the kitchen has been painted). The side burner of my grill would be less than efficient today given the wind speeds. I went to the Farmer’s market this morning...
I just placed an order today for my reusable grocery bags. I’ve been wanting them for a while but hadn’t found any that I liked. I really wanted something about the same shape and size as the brown paper ones at Whole Foods, just re-usable. And I wanted something with...
Dorothy had it right. Much as we liked the accommodations at Sarah and Ger’s, it’s very nice to be home. And the floor is done. We can walk on it without shoes. In about 7 days we can bring the appliances back in too. It looks very nice. In fact...
So the acomodations where we are staying are very nice. First of all there is a kitchen that has counters, cabinets, a sink, and even a dishwasher. All of the kitchen appliances are even in the kitchen, rather than scattered throughout the living and dining areas. There are plush rugs...
So I didn’t post all of last week because it was pretty hectic. We were sanding and mudding again after a portion of the ceiling cracked (what fun). In fact we still hadn’t gotten the ceiling fan hung by Sunday morning and Chris woke up with serious back probs (likely...
That’s where I’ve been for the past two days. Just after my last post I had a nasty migraine come on and spent the following 48 hours doped up on pain killers and lying in bed for hours on end. Nothing pisses me off more than wasting a beautiful day...
