Nathan’s Flap Jacks for breakfast, so named because the recipe came into our repetoire via the cooking class Nathan took in July. He won’t much eat them, but that’s OK. He’s very proud of how thoroughly I’ve embraced the recipe, so he happily lays claim to it. It’s a toss up (ha), because I love…

Stuffed! I am stuffed like the burrito I happily ate for lunch while watching Spanglish on cable. I vaguely recall negative reaction to the film when it came out. Hmmm…I thought it was terrific and especially enjoyed the sensual, sexy food scene set in chef Adam Sandler’s faux French Laundry kitchen. Who wouldn’t want to…

Well, as you can see, I can now post pictures. Hallelujah! I’ve spent an obnoxious amount of time on it, the details of which I won’t bore you with, other than to say the fix was to give up on Explorer and download a new browser called Mozilla Firefox. I’ve gone back to previous posts…

I can’t post pictures – happens too often with Blogger and it is soooo irritating! I took some cool ones (I think) of family, friends, and food while in EH… Damn! I’ve been messing around with that all day instead of writing a new post. (That and unpacking, doing laundry, and running errands…) But here…

A last day in paradise topped off with a vacation-finale feasty feast, oh yeaaaaaah. Courtesy of my foodie father-in-law John. We opened with either a crab cake or shrimp toast first course (we got to choose ahead; I chose shrimp toast), followed by a main of crispy veal scallops topped with cucumbers, and finished with…

I’m here! Although not there…I’m in East Hampton (EH), New York, aka Paradise, visiting my in-laws, Dot and John. (My) John’s bro Tom and his kids are here too, we’re all shacked up together in the Levy’s beautiful, classic, shingled EH house, big front porch, shimmering pool, hydrangeas of every color, towering trees… What can…

Your chesnock is my ku cai, baby. Or toi. Ajo.Knoblauch.Aglio. Or garlic! Yes, garlic, in any language, heavenly, healthy, aphrodisiac garlic. I’ll admit, I despise garlic kisses (blech, John gets so irritated with me when I make him something super-garlicky for dinner and then complain about the, uh, fragrance), but I eat and cook with…

Nathan and I met my lovely aunt Mary for lunch today, at Beaujo’s Wine Bar. Mary and I had the Greek sandwich for the third time in a row – it’s that good. There’s something about the bread, which is perfectly crusty and yet not too heavy. The filling of olive spread, feta, cucumbers, tomato,…

Baseball Moms, woo hoo! We took the summer off because, well, we were all busy with baseball! But now baseball is (thankfully) done…so it was time to get together at local hangout McCoy’s and have some beer with our chat, on a chair instead of bleachers (ouch but those bleachers hurt the bum). First Monday…

Lookin’ pretty smart, huh, huh? Well I feel smart in my new purple (!) glasses. In fact, I bet you’ll notice the quality of my writing improving dramatically now that I’ve got them. Stay tuned for the fabulousness…And for grilled pork tenderloin, marinated with basil and garlic (per yesterday’s almost-pesto) and topped with lots of…
