I’m not sure sometimes. I think fondly of this site, but I don’t seem to find the time to give it love lately. With the dreary grey coldness of January in Michigan, though, I need to push myself to focus on my creativity. That was fairly easy to do when […]

I ate some good stuff this weekend. Fortunately I had my camera with me to document things. Friday was dinner with friends at The Winchester. I didn’t snap pics of the plantain chips because I was to busy gobbling them down. The sweet potato and goat cheese pierogies, however, got […]

I rarely eat out. You wouldn’t know it from the past several days, though! Dev and I were famished after the Children’s Museum on Sunday so we grabbed a bite at San Chez. That would be the berry risotto above. Creamy! On Tuesday I had lunch with Edris and Chelsea […]

The recipe called for two cups of raspberries. I didn’t feel like measuring so I dumped the whole bag in. A few of them ended up more berry than muffin. That can’t be a bad thing, can it?

Lunched with Edris today at Marie Catrib’s. If you can believe this, I don’t normally get dessert with my lunch. I reserve that vice for dinner instead. But how could I resist? Hummingbird cake. Pineapple-y deliciousness.

OK, not really. It was one coffee (watered down with chocolate) and one kiddie hot cocoa. It was a rainy morning and the Water Street Coffee Joint is just a few blocks from my mom’s house, so why not? Devin wanted to keep his cup because he thought it was […]

I wanted to make my own crust, but lacked time so I went with a defrosted one from GB Russo’s. The toppings? Peaches (was supposed to be apricots, but there weren’t any available), shallots, chives, arugula, prosciutto, goat cheese and parmesan. It was pretty good. Not sure I’m a big […]

Spring break has come and gone. I’m back to work tomorrow. I’ve been very neglectful of my online pursuits over the past week, but I made sure I got in some cooking pursuits this weekend while I had some extra time. Yesterday I made mac ‘n cheese with roasted tomatoes. […]

We made muffins today. And pizza. I don’t cook or bake nearly enough anymore. I get claustrophobic when it comes to cooking. I have to have enough time to plan and execute. But I actually put the muffins together spontaneously. Just grabbed a Cooking Light volume and fingered a recipe […]

Scott’s working at a client site this week, which is good. For most of the family. The dog is the one I worry about. She’s had it good the past six months, being alone only a few hours at a time. So now it’s back up to 8+ hours. And […]
