If you’re looking for casual, healthy, tasty eats in St. Louis Park, the black-bean burger at good ol’ McCoy’s is pretty damn hard to beat. I met my dear friend Kathie for dinner there last night and we each chowed one down, topped with guacamole, tomato, lettuce, pickles, and onions. We skipped the cheese (unnecessary…

Forgot to say yesterday that I FINALLY pulled off Friday Morning Coffee with Suz this week – woo hoo! With vacations and deaths and birthdays and what is generally known as life constantly intervening, we are far from our weekly groove lately. I was sooooo needing to laugh, and laugh we did, whew it was…

Wouldn’t you know, a damn snowstorm did us in yet again?! Unbelievable. This time on the east coast, preventing my brother David and sister Etta from coming out from NYC for the weekend, as well as Bowen’s sister Sara and her husband Romero coming from Vermont. Damn! Boo! Damn! Luckily Bowen’s parents Hal and Suzanne…

Well, Hello Spring! My goodness, it’s 64 degrees out there right now! How fabulous! (We could use the cheering up, frankly.) I’m making Savory-Sweet Pork Tenderloin Stew for dinner. With couscous. And a big salad of some sort, haven’t decided yet. Friday we’re having a big, big dinner party here at the hacienda, a pre-Cooper…

Happy 1st Birthday Cooper! My adorable nephew is a year old today – WOW! Nothing makes time go faster than a baby. Snap your fingers and a year is gone (and I’m 40!), sheesh. That’s because they’re so FUN, especially when they belong to your sister and you get the win-win of babysitting AND getting…

Sigmund Louis Levy 3/29/92 – 3/11/07 A very sad day indeed – I had to put down our beloved dog, Sigmund. He’s been quite frail for the last several months, so we’ve known that each day he’s felt good was a little gift. Not many Gordon setters get to be almost 15 years old. I…

Cooper Time! I’m babysitting my almost-one-year-old (!) nephew Cooper today (he’s napping as I write this). Little slice of heaven, that Cooper-Doo. He chatted through our trip to Target, lots of “wow” and “uh oh,” charming the pants off anyone who walked by us. No one can resist baby talk, especially when the words are…

In the mood for something a bit spring-y, I made roasted asparagus and sauteed lamb chops for dinner (nothing fancy – just seasoned with a little coarse salt and dried thyme before I tossed them into a smoking hot skillet). Oooh, all I needed were morels to make the perfect spring dinner, mmm… And perfectly…

Do you drink enough water? I know, I know, supposedly the 8-glasses-a-day requirement has been somewhat overstated (and of course it can be positively deadly to really over-consume water), but I have to state – I definitely lose weight faster, and just look and feel better, when I drink plenty of water. More like 10-12…

You know, sometimes I get a hankering for good old fashioned spaghetti with meat sauce. Reminds me of the Kraft spaghetti-in-a-box we used to eat when I was kid, you know the one, with the packet of herbs to stir into tomato paste with water? My mom used to make that sauce with ground beef…
