Here in the DelSo we're neighborly. We like to share baked goods, pot-luck dinners and bottles of wine, and I love the sense of community we enjoy in our neighborhood. Yesterday I came home and found these:Aren't they gorgeous? My neighbor, Lucy, shared her bounty with us and I couldn't wait to do something with … Continue reading How do you like those tomatoes?

Channeling My Inner Yono
image from chefs5x5.comMy first "serious" restaurant job when I moved to Albany in 1988, was at Yono's Robinson Square restaurant location. My interview with Yono was memorable as I struggled to interpret his questions through his thick Indonesian accent, an accent I was soon not only able to understand, but also to imitate. I was … Continue reading Channeling My Inner Yono
Arugula – My Latest Obsession
While I thoroughly enjoyed my yellow salad the other day, I have to confess that I am positively obsessed with arugula.

We had a number of offers and options for the day, but ultimately elected … Continue reading Sunday Supper – Father’s Day Edition
Sunday Supper
The first time I had Mexican food I was about 12 years old. I was at a sleepover party and tacos were on the menu. I must have eaten 4 of them. I was absolutely blown away by the crunch of the shells coupled with the tangy salsa and spicy ground beef. Unlike my own children who basically … Continue reading Sunday Supper
