Happy holidays! We went to see Hampton’s parents for Christmas and every trip to Raleigh these days requires a trip to Wegman’s for specialty items we rarely see in Winston-Salem. As much as we love this town and don’t want to move back to all that traffic and house prices. When we go to Wegman’s, […]

Recipe Roundup
Time keeps turning and Flat 493 keeps cooking. Let’s try to get back to a somewhat regular menu sharing, shall we? Nevermind that I tried to do this last week and WordPress crashed on me. Here we are. Hopefully. Cross your fingers. Highlights from the past two weeks: — Trader Joe’s has a new and […]

Weeks 14 & 15, 2022
Yeah, so week 14 doesn’t get its own post because it looked like this: One day of easy sautéed shrimp with air-fried polenta [from an old Trader Joe’s cookbook] and a simple arugula salad side, one day of the-restaurant-we-planned-to-go-to-during-Hampton’s-tech-week-before-my-rehearsal-is-closed-so-let’s-go-to-the-food-hall-for-the-second-time-in-three-days, one day of not even homemade pizza, but Domino’s, and then….? The highlight of the week […]
