Growing up, Friday night was always pizza night…because who doesn’t love pizza?!? Plus nothing goes with football like pizza (hey, we’re Texans! Also upon further reflection–aka growing older–I’ve found beer to be a better accompaniment to football, but at five years old pizza is probably the better option). Of course, until I moved to New … Continue reading Pizza Night!
I love soup. I know I’ve mentioned this before–like every January, but January seems to be a good time for soup. At least in the Northern Hemisphere. Of course, I’m one of those weird-can-eat-soup-any-day-of-the-year people so I don’t necessarily need cold weather to indulge, just a spoon. This is very handy when one is experiencing … Continue reading Soup, Glorious Soup!
For those of you out there who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope that you had a wonderful day filled with great food, family and/or friends, football, parades or however you like to celebrate. I spent the day rotating between cooking and loafing and eating an extraordinary amount of cheese–it was a great way to spend a day! … Continue reading Thanksgiving Bowl
Pretty much since the arrival of Lucille and the discovery that–with the right accessories–she could make ice cream, I have wanted an ice cream maker. Not necessarily that ice cream maker (I’m open to seeing other ice cream makers), but I do love making ice cream…in part because I love eating ice cream, especially homemade … Continue reading Put A Stick In It!
I love scones. Probably the best scone that I’ve ever eaten was a bacon, cheddar, & chive scone. I mean, c’mon–it is bacon and cheese! But that’s not why we’re here today. Peaches. Peaches are why we’re here today. We are (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) smack dab in the middle of peach season! … Continue reading Peachy Keen!
I know you’re saying to yourself (probably outloud and in disbelief): “Shez, ain’t no such thing!” Don’t panic! I haven’t been too disctracted to EAT doughnuts, only to write about them. Since 1938, The United States has been celebrating National Doughnut Day the first Friday in June. National Doughnut Day was created by … Continue reading Too Distracted for Doughnuts…
What would a birthday trip be without a special birthday dinner? Granted this one was a lot more low key than the first one. It was equally as memorable–this time for the food–nor did I get drenched! First stop: dinner! at a swanky seafood and steak house in St. Paul called Kincaid’s. We started with Country … Continue reading Fabulous Not Forty Birthday Dinner #2
Just kidding…no such thing! After an afternoon of wandering around downtown Minneapolis, April & I met up with a friend at the Smack Shack. We started the feast with a lobster guacamole appetizer. I will admit it took a couple of bites to wrap my head around eating guacamole and lobster together. Once I … Continue reading Lobstah Overload!

In honor of today’s Big Birthday:… Continue reading Margarita Monday, Part Cuatro…Again
Remember in my earlier posts about it being the start of low season and everything closing up early? Turns out, that affected the food industry as well. Since our deck had not one, but two grills, we decided it might be fun to grill something for dinner. We found a grocery store, strolled around for awhile, … Continue reading Chinese Non-Delivery
