Dinner – just in case you are curious
May 8th, 2010 · 5 Comments
We loaded up and headed to farmer’s market this morning. The goal was to score crepes, but alas, there was no crepe maker in sight. Instead we loaded up with various baked goods, a half dozen tamales, spinach, asparagus, and a loaf of pane rustico. Tonight we’ll feast on on Nye’s sirloin steaks – already [...]
Good morning

A quick update: 1) I’m chasing down good coffee today. Alterra is up to $10.99 a pound which makes it a dollar a pound cheaper to import from Guatemala. (My other source never came through!) As a final check, I’m making an Aldi’s run today. I remember they had a Guatemalan blend for a very [...]

In praise of sharp knives, and what do you mean I can’t take my top off?
May 2nd, 2010 · 5 Comments
So…yesterday at Farmer’s Market I had the knife folks sharpen four of my knives. It is a complete and incredible joy to work with sharp knives. I’d kicked myself a good portion of the winter for not taking them by the tent before the season ended last fall. I have to say it wasn’t an [...]

Dinner, Saturday, April 24th
April 24th, 2010 · 6 Comments
Here’s the plan: Pear and Gorgonzola salad like this recipe. Risotta like this one. (I didn’t care for the tomatoes in the earlier recipe.) Grilled rosemary pork tenderloin. The key is to NOT overcook the pork. That should do it. It’s saddened my family but I’ve been cutting out the bread we almost always had [...]

I ran out of Guatemalan coffee. This morning I’m drinking Alterra’s breakfast blend which used to be my favorite in the whole world but now tastes like muddy water. Time to hook me up, dude. Where do I find a supplier?

A personal rice failure
March 28th, 2010 · 8 Comments
We’re eating Indian at home tonight. Before you get all impressed, dinner is chicken with one of these sauces and store bought naan. Oh, and rice. I picked up Jasmine rice because I knew we were out. The problem is, Jasmine rice is for Thai, and we’re eating Indian. I needed Basmati rice. Sadly, we’re [...]

Tortilla Soup
March 18th, 2010 · No Comments
Here’s an update on the tortilla soup project for those of you following along. I did make it tonight. The youngest declared it perfect. I will confess that for a brief few moments, it cleared my sinuses. I’m a hot food wimp. There’s just no other way to explain it. The rest of my family [...]

If it’s green, eat it.

That seems to be the mantra from all the food blogs I have on my feed reader. I’ve seen mint everything in the last couple of days. (I’m not a big mint food fan, though I love it in teas and lotions.) I’ve seen more green icing than is probably legal. I’ve seen mint mousse. [...]

Eddie Martini’s is advertising?

No kidding. I just saw a 30 second spot. I’m a little confused because I know someone that tried to get in for a birthday and couldn’t score a reservation. Since eating out for me is a trip to Taste of India (oh, but it’s oh so good), someone else should fill me in as [...]
