One Meatball!

February 4, 2007

Not really….18 actually…Many more than I thought my ingredients would turn out….so the little guys were split up, along with the sauce, frozen, and put on hold until further cravings. In a previous post, I mentioned how I bought my meat for the month at my favorite butcher, Patak. Once introduced to this “chalet”, I […]

Key Lime Tarts

February 3, 2007

Dolcezza!/Sweetness! I love going anywhere, cocktail party, brunch, or dinner, and finding mini-tarts. The individual treats are an easy way to get a quick sugar fix. Not to mention, I always have the internal struggle when I have to “slice”something…especially since there are so few sweets I can eat. If the piece is too small, […]

Restaurant Eats: Wood Grilled Cod & Blackened Grouper

February 3, 2007

Tonight, I was invited to Atlantic Seafood, in Alpharetta, and experienced the best seafood I have had in a very long time. I never know what to expect from fish restaurants, especially ones with which I am not familiar. But, when asked to meet for dinner, I was game. When I drove up, there was […]

Roasted Sausages, Peppers, Potatoes, & Onions

February 2, 2007

Now, I know it’s cold everywhere…and random places that don’t normally get snow are buried, but it doesn’t change the fact….its cold….and gross – rainy, and dreary. We were talking about it the other day, about the changes Mother Nature has tossed our way. We conjectured that, first, I have been down here too long, […]

School’s In

February 1, 2007

Snow days are always an interesting event for me. While we had our share of “snowcations” growing up in Boston, the DOT did such a good job at cleaning the streets, it was more likely school would be open. In addition, unlike Georgia and their county school districts, Massachusetts school systems are broken down by […]

January 31, 2007

For this week’s Thursday Soup, I went low key, but yummy. Now that its getting cold, I am eager to make all my chunky, hearty soups. However, I can’t chew. The temporary solution? Tomato.

Cabbage Bake

January 30, 2007

I am participating in this week’s Weekend Herb Blogging, the Kalyn’s Kitchen event running since 2005. Good thing I made this last night, since I cannot chew today! (hee…hee) This week’s host? Küchenlatein. My herb, plant, vegetable, or flower? Cabbage. It’s funny to me how we change – personal styles, idiosyncrasies, tolerance levels, tastes. My […]

Smoothies

January 30, 2007

I enjoy a good smoothie. I do! However, with my marathon of dental work since November, I about about smoothie’d out. But, now that I have stitches all up in the grill (and they’re doing the other side next week), I am going to have to make nice again with the frothy goodness. Planet Smoothie, […]

Mesa de Comedor/Welcome to The Dinner Table! I wanted to enter Peanut Butter Etoufee‘s Pullet Surprise, so I invited one of my best friends for Sunday dinner.

Lemon, Pepper, & Thyme Chicken (Pt. 2): The Dinner Salad

January 29, 2007

This is the salad the I served with the chicken dinner… I made the vinaigrette several hours ahead to allow the flavors to marry, then tossed it with the salad right before serving. For the salad itself, I simply combined salad ingredients of my choice: red peppers, onions, grape tomatoes, black olives, & cucumbers. Chef’s […]
