Not to take anything away from Mary, but I did my share of work yesterday, too. The morning began with tending to two loaves of bread, prepping the ultimately fantastic beef roast and driving a friend to the airport, all prior to attending a 10:00 yoga class. After the sweaty release of 75 minutes of … Continue reading Laboring on Christmas Eve

Seven-year (p)itch
So...this Wednesday, 12/17, is the 7th anniversary of the Wine Bar & Bistro on Lark. Yes, that did go fast!

I seriously almost used a more, shall we say, colorful homophonic version of the word "come," but chose not to because I was afraid it might be interpreted as vulgar. I may be salty at times with my language choices, but crass is something … Continue reading Come on in my Cucina
“Stuff” to do with your Field Goods

While I enjoyed the challenge of trying to create meals from previously unknown ingredients, I have never been tempted to commit again to the responsibility of having to … Continue reading “Stuff” to do with your Field Goods
