Summer Squash Carpaccio
Two things first: I KNOW what carpaccio is, and this isn’t it, except for the thinly sliced business with the onion and squashes. Second, I KNOW I am not a HUGE squash fan either; but man was this one simple … Continue reading
Barbecued Salmon and…
The first day of my friend Norma’s move went pretty well (I think), but we were all quite happy to stop wiping bat guano off of old barstools, get cleaned up, and start thinking about dinner. I’d brought a goody … Continue reading
Bossa Nova Brunch at Firewater
We walked through the rain Sunday morning for our appointment with breakfast. Firewater sits on the Chicago River kinda-sorta underneath the American Bar Association building. On a nicer day, the terrace would have been the place to sit, but the … Continue reading
Thai Ravioli at Penny’s
One of the things I miss about living in the city is the sheer choice of what to eat when. French food Friday night, a chicago-style hot dog (somehow, I doubt it was Vienna Beef, tho’) for lunch on Saturday, … Continue reading
Brasserie Jo
Candlelight shining through a perfectly prepared martini – how better to show how cool we think Brasserie Jo is. Sadly, we found out at the end of a wonderful dinner that they are closing later this month after a long, … Continue reading
Almond Cookies
These aren’t really SWEET – they’re actually almost a savory flavor – perfect for after dinner or with your mid morning coffee. The recipe calls for blanched almonds, but I used whole raw almonds that I roasted in a slow … Continue reading
Red Curry Chicken
Well. Here it is. Red curry chicken with peppers, water chestnuts, basil (from teh garden – of course!) and coconut milk over rice. It was good, but I have to wonder about the amount of curry paste I used. Every … Continue reading
A little bowl o’ sunshine…
on a gray and dreary day. How cool is this? The current harvest from teh garden is more than enough for a nice salad – I’m thinking romaine, chickpeas, feta, cucumber, carrots, onion, peppers, and these little beauties – and … Continue reading

Lesson Learned
I am normally a careful shopper. I pay attention to ingredients. I read labels. Hmmmph. So, how stooopid do you think I felt when I was getting set to make a batch o’ pesto with the pine nuts I bought … Continue reading

I am a slacker…
We spent Sunday running errands and getting stuff together for Rich’s temporary weekday move into the city – very cute apartment in walking distance of everything – including the mayhem that is the Transformers movie (it makes it just that … Continue reading
