Ever been to one of those olive oil/vinegar bars? I know they are popping up all over the place – even the local mall. When I was in Door County, WI a few months ago, I finally visited one. If you live in, say, the Chicago area, you should be quite familiar with Door County. [...]

Sabayon v Zabaglione

It is the end of summer and it is time for one of my all-time, favorite desserts. Sabayon if you are French or Zabaglione if you are Italian. So really, what’s the diff? Ah, who knows. My guess is it’s the type of wine used. Traditionally, it should be sweet Marsala (for Zabaglione). But I [...]

It’s been awhile! Yeah, I’m inherently lazy in case you haven’t noticed. That’s really the only reason for my hiatus.

Quick – name a food you could eat every day for the rest of your life. Ok, I’ll go first since I’m here, and since I’m pretty sure you’ve already guessed my answer (ahem…plantains). This past spring we took a trip to Costa Rica and our hotel served fried plantains every.damn.day. Yes, it was a [...]

5 Weeks. 9 Pounds to lose. Starting…after the mango bread is gone. Since I started posting with Tuesdays With Dorie, I’ve gained some weight. Ok, let’s be honest here – a LOT of weight. So I took a couple of weeks off from TWD – thinking that would cut it. Well, it [...]

Imagine my chagrin… Alright people. How come y’all never told me that Dorie actually READS some of these Tuesdays With Dorie posts and RESPONDS? I had no idea I needed to be on my best behavior! Oh I do hope I haven’t said anything too embarrassing. So let’s have a pleasant discussion about this week’s [...]
