Moules Frites

Posted on: Saturday, January 31st, 2009 in: Dining Out

I’ve posted about Townsend’s before, but they’ve made changes to the menu that need to be discussed. A couple of months ago, we went for dinner and noticed they changed the menu.  There are significant changes to the entrees and the appetizers, but they also added a selection of moules frites.  There are four different types [...]

Taking the easy way out

Posted on: Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 in: Eating In.

Today is one of those classic crappy NE winter days. It started out this morning snowing. Snowed about 5 inches, then turned to sleet. Then it turned to rain. By the time I got out of work it was 35 degrees and pouring rain. There were these enormous puddles everywhere and it was slippery to [...]

Asian Stuffed Cabbage

Posted on: Sunday, January 25th, 2009 in: Eating In.

In my quest for new healthy dishes, I came across an issue of Body+Soul  magazine that has a special recipe section about one pot meals.  I’ve mentioned before how I feel about one pot meals, so this was very exciting.   All of them really good, but the one that I had to try right away [...]

A New Hope

Posted on: Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 in: Random Thoughts

I have a food related post that I’m working on, but we DVR’d the inauguration and I have to watch it.  I saw it live, but only his speech. I want to see it all. I am so happy and proud that Barack Obama is our president.  He is so inspiring, and he makes me [...]

Home cooking – the key to a healthy lifestyle?

Posted on: Saturday, January 17th, 2009 in: Eating In.

Andreas and I both got to the end of the holiday season completely disgusted with ourselves. For about 4 weeks, we ate and drank with reckless abandon.  We were sedentary for that time as well, and the results of all this “celebrating” were tight pants and highest weight numbers in years. So we joined the approximately [...]

Hamersley’s Bistro – a perfect antidote to a snowy evening.

Posted on: Tuesday, January 13th, 2009 in: Dining Out

Saturday night brought the promise of another 6-10 inches of snow.  The thrill of snowfall is gone, and now it’s just something to put up with while you get on with life.  Mick & Monique had a sitter for Oscar, so we decided to go out to dinner.  Andreas threw a few ideas out, and [...]

What do you do with Facebook?

Posted on: Saturday, January 10th, 2009 in: Random Thoughts

A couple of months ago, I joined Facebook. All of the cool kids were doing it, so I thought I should check it out.  It was fun for a few days because all of these people came out of the woodwork, and you got to see pictures of people you hadn’t seen in ages.  But, [...]

Where the Hull is Saporito’s?

Where: Saporito’s Florence Club, Hull MA When: Saturday, 3 January 2009 Who:  Andreas, Stephanie, Christine & Mike Andreas and I were so undecided about what to do on Saturday night.  We were thisclose to going to a movie, but I just wasn’t feeling it.  We called Christine and Mike to see if they wanted to [...]

A Year of Good Eating

Posted on: Monday, January 5th, 2009 in: Cooking for friends, Dining Out, Eating In.

And let me tell you, my tight pants are a testament to that!  I’m sitting here thinking about what healthy meal I can make myself and reviewing my workout schedule for the week.  Now I’m going to drive myself crazy by listing my favorite meals from home, friends, and restaurants.   I’ll list a meal from each [...]
