Since I am fairly new to blogging and expanding my horizons in food, I am learning a great deal reading the various blogs out there from around the world. This is a pleasure for me since I have not traveled nearly as much as I would like. And, it has been many yeats since I […]

Chain Restaurants

January 28, 2007

I am not a fan of many chain restaurants. But, because I live in the burbs and don’t get into the city of Atlanta as much as I would like, I go to some every once in a while. Thursday night I went to The Cheesecake Factory with a friend. It is part of the […]

Baked Ziti – A Quick Dinner

January 26, 2007

Pasta de coditos con queso!/Macaroni and Cheese! I was supposed to go out for Sushi tonight. I have been craving it for a couple of weeks now. But, my dinner companion isn’t here – apparently stuck in the St. Louis airport. So – assuming dinner will not happen this evening, and since I defrosted another […]

Snowing in Atlanta?

January 26, 2007

Ahhh – no. And, if it did, we all know the city would shut down, so lets hope that doesn’t happen. However, Snowball Cookies made their way from Foodaphilia (Philadephia) to good ol’ Marietta. The fact I am from Boston – land of snow and icicles – did not come into play at all! My […]

January 25, 2007

I am attending a 2 day County conference through tomorrow and have really enjoyed it. But, as we all know – there are always occasional moments (or time periods) where our minds wander as the speaker presents with his/her PowerPoint. Somewhere in the morning session, in between Assessment Literacy, Comprehensive Assessment Systems, and Summative vs. […]

Pumpkin Date Bread

January 25, 2007

Growing up right outside Boston, there were many fabulous finds. In historical Lexington, MA, sat(& still sits) a lovely (no so little anymore) farm, Wilson’s Farm. I loved going with my mom, looking at all the beautiful fruit and produce. I can still smell the aromas from their kitchens. To the side of the exit […]

Chicken Pot Pie

January 24, 2007

Since reading about Peanut Butter Etoufee‘s posting about the 2007 Pullet Surprise, I have been thinking of the various ways I enjoy chicken, so I can enter. Chicken Pot Pies – always enjoyed them…. But, the ones from the store are completely loaded with sodium, so I don’t dare. When I arrived home early today […]

Neiman Marcus Brownies & Chocolate Chip Cookies

January 24, 2007

I remember years and years ago when urban legend had these recipes “leaked” out. I vividly remember the bedlam that surrounded the tragedy. The “foofy” (an effective adjective) Neiman Marcus‘ recipes were shifting around in the hands of those who couldn’t even afford to window shop at their store. As I was rustling around in […]

Mild Italian Sausages

January 23, 2007

Pasto veloce!/Quick Lunch! I made the Braciole last night, and enjoyed it. However, there was something lingering. I didn’t know what. Some ‘thing’, I know, would have made it taste better. Then, when I came home this evening, tired, and starving after the gym, I saw the sausages I bought at Patak. Hmmm…. It dawned […]
