Birthday wishes
A very happy birthday wish to Aunt Sue today. Hope your day is beautiful! Update: pics from the party
Mmm, tuna….
So for last night’s dinner I made the most expensive tuna melts that I’ve ever had. Thanks again to F&W. I loved dinner to pieces. Chris spit his first and only bite into the trash and ate peanut butter and jelly on squishy white bread rather than face another taste. ...
Pasta con cavolfiore e broccoli siciliani
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,...
Mmm, baby cow
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...
Indian-inspired lunch
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...
Party platter
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...
Lunch
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...
Getting a little greener
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...
There’s no place like home…
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...
Acomodations
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...
