Happy Hump Day, everyone! I hope you are all having a great day. During my lunch break I was flipping through one of my favorite cooking blogs, 101 Cookbooks, and I came across this recipe. I cannot wait to make it! Hopefully next week and I will be sure to report back. I’ll be back…… Continue reading I cannot wait to make this…
As some of you know, I have been wanting to make Julia Child’s classic Boeuf Bourguignon for days. This past week we experienced perfect fall weather in Boston and Providence. It was only getting up into the low 60s during the day and dropping into the forties at night. PERFECT for fall cuisine. I was craving…… Continue reading Julia’s Boeuf
… Soup. I had so many ideas for soup today. Carrot ginger soup. Bittman’s pasta fagioli. Julia’s boeuf bourguignon. My own butternut squash soup. Jenna’s white chicken chili. My mom’s french onion soup. I needed soup for dinner tonight. On the train home tonight I decided to make chicken noodle soup. I know, compared to what I…… Continue reading What is the cure for another rainy day?
How is it possible that today is Thursday??? My vacation is going too quickly. But I am having a great time and we have been doing a lot of fun activities. On Tuesday AFM and I took TEA (our eight year old companion) to a small amusement park for kids. I thought this was a…… Continue reading Thursday of vacation week…
Hey everyone. So, I am officially on vacation for the next several days. Vacation started at 3:20 PM on Friday. Yesterday AFM and I spent the day getting ready for hurricane Irene. One thing I love about upstate New York is that there are so many farmer’s markets. We hit up a great market yesterday…… Continue reading I am on vacation… with Irene
It seems like it has been raining for days. In truth, I think it has only been raining since Tuesday – but today is Friday, and I would really like the rain to stop. One of my friends is getting married tomorrow and I would like it to be a nice day for her. I…… Continue reading Rain, rain go away.
Do you ever ask yourself, “where did this weekend go!?” I find myself asking that question most Sunday evenings. But tonight I looked at the clock and was shocked to see that it was 9:30 PM – I had no idea where the rest of my day went! I accomplished a ton of things today…… Continue reading Sunday Night Prep…
It is great to have a few ‘core recipes’ in your repertoire. Once you have a few recipes you can always fall back on or go to, you can change them up a bit when you feel like it. Tonight I made something, and I am not quite sure what to call it. I think…… Continue reading Core Recipes
Last night I made dinner for my friends, and their son Henri (who is 17 months old). I went with the new pasta dish I made a couple of weeks ago. I love this meal because you can really put any sort of vegetable you want in it… For this go around I used one…… Continue reading Dinner
a la Jacques Pépin. I love his recipe, but I usually change it around a bit. Today I had to change it because the market I went to this afternoon did not have eggplant. Eggplant is definitely a summer item, but I saw a few at Whole Foods the other day… so I was hoping.…… Continue reading Ratatouille with Penne…
