Mon 3/21: lamb chops and Mediterranean salad. As always, lamb for 132° for an hour forty-five, as inspired by this post. Our salad was Trader Joe’s marinated chickpeas with cucumber and artichoke hearts. The fresh and canned veg balanced out the heavily processed chickpeas. Splashes of lemon juice and red wine vin brought it all…

What Piedmont Opera’s RAGTIME meant can best be summed up by quotes from one of the youngest and one of the older people I knew in the audience: I have never been so invested in a show before!! — one of my orphans from ANNIE I am 78-years-old, and that is the best thing I’ve…

Sorry if you’re getting an email about this post twice. Don’t WordPress after midnight, kids. Welp, between tech for RAGTIME and Hampton going back into rehearsals for his COVID- and ice-delayed show, dinners this week were much more on the “get it done” side. EXCEPT: octopus. I had almost definitely never tried octopus before Hampton…

Mon 2/28: steak and eggs with asparagus and hashbrowns. There were potatoes and asparagus and eggs from Well Rooted Farm to use up, so we decided to try to perfect hasbrowns… and missed a crucial step in the de-starching process. Still delicious thanks a Smoke City Meat bavette. Tues 3/1: French Country sausage and artichoke…

As mentioned: I’m in rehearsals! I’m in the ensemble of RAGTIME with Piedmont Opera. I’ll have more to share about this moving forward — maybe? Who knows. — but for now, here are the details. Fun fact: when I looked up the ticket link to share on Twitter after our first ensemble-only music rehearsal, I…

Whew, where the heck did the past two weeks go. I’m in rehearsals — which I just realized I haven’t actually written about. Ok, more on that this week. Anyway, six hours of call on a Sunday definitely gets in the way of my sharing recipes with… all five of you… esp. as Sunday is…

As mentioned, I occasionally, er, often read books for Voracious Readers Only. I get free books, authors get reviews to help them sell said books, win/win. The problem is that sometimes I read too, well, voraciously, and Amazon decides I’ve posted too many reviews at one time. I feel super guilty that two of my…

Mon 2/7: Beer Braised Chicken Thighs with Apples and Greens, creamy goat cheese polenta. We love a chicken thigh recipe and tried this from an online acquaintance, since it had been a bit since our last variation. It’s a good thing chicken thighs are so forgiving because we made errors bc we totally got distracted…

Mon 1/31: Pretzel Schnitzel with Mustardy Brussels Sprouts Slaw. We don’t do Mayo, but I love a Brussels salad with lemon, EVOO, and parm, esp. paired opposite a heavy meat. We added creme fraîche to this and Hampton firmly joined me on team raw sprouts. He also mixed some creme fraîche and mustard for a…

Mon 1/24: turkey/cheese frittata, arugula salad. Our friends at Well Rooted Farm gifted us extra eggs with this week’s order and a frittata to use up some deli turkey, bacon, and some random cheeses was perfect. Bonus: lunches! I always turn to this article for proportions. This was Hampton’s first time making a frittata and…
