    🍴: Mon – we got home from PA last week to a leaking kitchen faucet (luckily only when turned on; it wasn’t running for three days) and an oven igniter that finally decided to crap all the way out. With him having rehearsal and me not being called for rehearsal, but having dance class, he…

    🍴: Mon – rehearsal after dance class = forgettable leftover for a late dinner Tues – Arby’s in the car on the way to PA Wed – Davis family dinner, traditional Thanksgiving style. I did not feel like coming up with something the kids would eat, so decided on this salad to use up sweet…

    🍴: Mon – Hampton had to be at auditions before I got home from dance class, so, as per usual when cooking solo, I attempted to recreate my favorite seafood antipasti from a restaurant that no longer exists in D.C. I was so ready to eat I had my arugula salad while cooking and it…

    🍴: Mon – roasted koginut with a ground pork, apple, and sage stuffing as inspired by these meatballs that are happening sometime this fall, but also Hampton bought a squash with no plan last week and it seemed like a good idea. He roasted the squash and made the filling before a meeting with a…

    🍴: Mon – grilled calamari and pan-roasted potatoes with leftover miso-pistachio romesco, salad Tues – grilled chicken thighs with roasted sweet potatoes and lemony green beans.

  • Another two weeks another “where the heck did those two weeks go?”. It’s been a bit of a blur as I dealt with some back and stomach issues. You know, after I tweaked my knee and got the cold from heck not too long ago. I’m starting to believe I’m related to the biblical Samson…

    Last week was a bit derailed due to a family visit. And then we had a show this Sunday and ballet on Monday and here we are at Wednesday. I know you’re dreadfully upset. 🍴: Mon – new mustard and dill sausages from our faves at Smoke City Meats, tots, arugula + pickled beets, kraut…
