I went to see the movie Julie and Julia today. If you haven’t heard of it, it is based on a book by Julie Powell who undertook cooking through the entire “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in one year. 365 days – 524 recipes – and blogging about it each day. It is a charming book [...]

Food Confessions
Posted in Thoughts on April 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We get a lot of responses to the food blog and I personally think its a fun way to share ideas, recipes, and successes and failures. What I also hear a lot is that I am “fancy and creative” as said in the mocking somewhat jealous tone of someone who just knocked out the left [...]

I’ve been so busy lately – adding another job to my already busy life. I have not had too much time for cooking so I have endeavorded to find healthy pre-packaged food. I came across a yummy Kofta Curry (vegan friendly) put out by Tandori Chef. For less than $4 you get a yummy Indian [...]
Sunday Dinner
Posted in Seafood, Thoughts, Vegetables on September 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sunday dinner was all about comfort food.
I made smashed potatoes which I find much lower maintenance than mashed potatoes. I just boil some chopped red potatoes with a few garlic cloves and a bay leaf, then remove the bay leaf and smash the potatoes and garlic with some butter, a little salt and pepper and [...]
Yeah-What She Said

I would like to clarify a few terms used in Diane’s last post. When we say “Cavalcade of Fun,” what we really mean is lying around on the couch watching tennis, or lying around on the couch watching “Friends” reruns, or lying around on the couch waiting to find out if the baseball game has [...]

Admitedly, Mimi and I have been slack as the cavalcade of fun has overtaken the time that we would normally spend cooking. We do have a project on the horizon. We received an offer from Country Bob to try his special sauce free and then blog about it. We got 2 bottles and we are [...]

Key Limes
Originally uploaded by lyricalmezzo
Continuing to use the goodies brought to me by my parents from the DeKalb Farmer’s Market, I decided to make a key lime pie for fathers day dinner tomorrow. If you have never seen a key like and can’t quite get the scale from the picture – those tiles are 2″ [...]
Feeling Stuck
Posted in Thoughts on June 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I love the dinners I make and I think, overall I am very successful in the kitchen, but I definitely have a “menu” from which I draw my ideas. I think part of that is that pretty much the same ingredients are available at each store in town – nothing really different from the next [...]
I’m back! (Hopefully)

I am so thankful that Di has been able to single handedly keep this blog going. I don’t even remember the last time I posted. I’ll save you the long version of the story and just say that I have not been feeling well since right before school got out.
Hopefully I’m on the road to [...]
