Fun! That’s what Cocktail Jewelry Parties are – just plain FUN! Here it is, after 1:00 a.m., so this will be a quick post, one of those I’m-Too-Jazzed-To-Fall-Asleep-So-I’ll-Write posts. I do need some sleep, since Cooper Cuteness will be here at 9:00 tomorrow (this) morning. So I’ll post recipes later – I think the tres…

Hola! I’m gearing up for a Mexican-themed Cocktail Jewelry Party this evening, starring Suz’s Silpada bling and lots of my spicy treats. Yay for parties! Yay for a reason to invite the girls over! I’m making carnitas to eat rolled in soft corn tortillas and garnished with chopped radishes, pickled onions, and a drizzle of…

I’m a big fan of food cooked in foil packets. As you know, packets of veggies and/or potatoes, on the grill, were a big fav this summer. Tonight I slow-baked halibut, with olive oil, lemon, scallions, garlic, tomatoes, and a little sprinkle each of salt, cumin, and curry powder. Wrap, wrap, wrap (two sheets of…

My office is clean. I’m roasting a chicken (again). John and I had a gorgeous Date Day brunch at La La Lucia’s. Life is goooood, my friends, at least right now, ha. That brunch, that scrumptious brunchious (or something), just unbeatable. Today we sipped mimosas and nibbled on popovers, frittata (their version is more like…

Tapas for dinner, I’ve decided, mostly after I picked up my LaFinca CSA veggie share. Green beans and tomatoes for Spicy Braised Green Beans. Carrots for A Pile O’ Roasted Carrots (uh, they’ve been piling up in the cooler, time to pile ’em into our stomachs). Peppers, more tomatoes, and potatoes for a frittata. I…

Cooper Cuteness Wednesday! (I babysit my year-old, red-haired nephew Cooper each Wednesday, The Best.) He’s busy today, loving Bucky (my Bucky Badger bobblehead), mya-man (derived from Spider-Man, it now means various of Nathan’s action figures), eez (I think cheese, for grilled cheese sandwich), ana (banana), and mik (milk). He emptied a few cupboards, played a…

Back to school! And Tuesday Morning Coffee with Suz and Kim! As always, great to catch up with my minxes, sip some joe, and cackle and laugh my butt off. All good, baby, all good. I got around to roasting our chicken rather on the late side last night – John and I didn’t eat…

Oh, bad, bad Stephanie. I am soooo cheating on my blog with a new (equally, fabulously) narcissistic online addiction – Facebook! Help, my friend Maud “friended” me and it’s been all (fun, decadent) downhill ever since! Here I am, on a beautiful, sunny Labor Day – at my computer. And loving it, what can I…
