Bustin’ out the classics

Posted on: Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 in: Cooking for friends

Sunday was one of those picture perfect days in New England – 70 degrees, blue skies and peak foliage.  The Arnold Arboretum was holding its annual Fall Festival, so we decided to go with Mick, Monique, and Oscar.  The Arbortetum is truly one of the jewels of Boston.  It’s huge, and it can completely make [...]

Happy Birthday, Jen-Jen!

My best friend from high school just hit a milestone birthday (I will not divulge!). She is the first of my group of high school friends to reach this momentous occasion because she was held back in the first grade, which worked out well for me, because when freshman year rolled around, I found my [...]

[...]

It was a banner October for Bon Appetit.  I usually page through and see a couple of recipes that look interesting.  But it isn’t very often that I’ll make something directly from the magazine.  However this month I found THREE fantastic recipes and they are all keepers! First there was this.  Then this.  And now, [...]

Leek and Goat Cheese Tart

Due to a new flex time schedule at my job, I have every other Monday off.  It is one of the best things that has happened in my professional career.  Everyone else goes to work and I don’t have to!  Because for that one day I can pretend I’m a “stay at home wife”, I [...]

A week of Sunday dinners

Posted on: Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 in: Eating In.

October 1 – I can’t even believe it!  The leaves are definitely starting to turn, it’s getting darker way too early (nevermind that the sun doesn’t come up until almost 6:30am), and there are pumpkins and gourds everywhere I turn. Another true sign of fall?  Hearty comfort meals.  We started out on Sunday with a [...]
