I think the name for cooking in parchment paper is cooking “en papillote,” but you know, it’s my mom and my brother that speaks the French, murky bo cups. I based this dish on one I saw Rachael Ray do, which of course, she calls “Spanish Fish in a Sack.” (Okay, maybe you CAN dumb [...]

Ah, summer, we hardly knew ye. Between morning sickness, and later on, simple intolerance of the summer heat in my huge-anic condition, I didn’t get outside much this past summer. But we did manage to purchase a nice Weber gas grill. We spent a little extra just to get the Weber, and boy do we [...]

Fish Tacos

Chris and I both love fish tacos, so I tried making them at home for the first time. I had some frozen cod, courtesy of Market Day, and I decided to use that.
First I thawed out the fish. The Market Day cod kind of comes in these little log shapes, so while they were defrosted [...]

Katie, Kaci, Jen and I had an evening in Portland that I haven’t documented, at a restaurant called Ten01 downtown… But unfortunately, none of my pictures turned out (left the good camera at home, again.) Still, not much of a loss there… I didn’t think the food was that noteworthy. My foie gras and my [...]

On my Friday night in Portland Jen and Katie and I went out in search of some later-evening eats. We had spent a bit longer at Jen’s house than we had intended, due to some unexpected “shopping” we did there. Katie spied a box full of clothing that Jen had, and immediately was all over [...]

When Katie was off work on Saturday, she was good enough to take me on the long, winding road out to the coast so I could see the ocean, and soak up some sun. And see some surfers.
We arrived in what she calls “the Four-Door Sports Car,” her well-used vehicle that has an exhaust leak [...]

Mojito Chicken, Nonno, and His Steak

Today I thought I would begin with pictures of a very special man: Chris’ Nonno (grandpa). His name is Irio. He lives with Chris’ parents, in his own little “apartment” in the downstairs area, with his own kitchen. He is adorable. Enjoy him:
My husband’s Nonno (though I call him that, too) is almost 88 years [...]

Don Roth's Blackhawk Restaurant

For my birthday a couple weeks ago, I chose the exact same restaurant we went to last year, and ordered exactly the same things. It sounds boring, but I had waited a whole year… And you can build up quite an appetite in that amount of time!
Don Roth’s Blackhawk holds the current position of my [...]

Okay, let the suspense end. I don’t want to get back to studying for my National Board Exam tomorrow, anyway. (I’ll be crying in my coffee tonight.)
There was a recipe for salmon cakes on Epicurious or one of those… I took a quick look and then ran with it. I used a couple of pouches [...]

On our third day in Los Angeles (I know, I’m bouncing all over the place), we arrived in a hung-over state (this was already becoming a habit) to a place where Dave likes to grab some fish tacos. And I know, just then, that me saying the phrase “fish tacos” made my husband snicker as [...]
