We did it again; Chives V2
You might remember Jeff’s fantastic birthday dinner at Chives in Suamico. Well, we kind of did the chef’s table there again last night. This time, with eight other people, which was a fantastic experience. My favorite course was the the warm radish salad (bottom right in the collage above). In fact, the second we get … Continue reading
Giada inspired
Of course, one of the best parts of going to see Giada in Milwaukee a few weeks ago was the cookbook I got to take home. I have other Giada cookbooks, but I especially like this one. She’d probably be offended to hear me say it, but it’s 30 Minute Meals meets classic Giada. This … Continue reading

Mini, tasting-size beer mugs. Perfect for sharing. We (finally!) purchased a wine rack. Rather, we finally stumbled … Continue reading

Seven springs ago, after a beer festival at our hometown aviation museum Jeff made it to his condo a couple of hours late to throw a party for the newspaper’s newest reporter. Seven springs ago, upon walking into the very condo that is now our … Continue reading
An easy, go-to veggie recipe
We’re the kind of household that eats a veggie at every meal. As you know, among my favorites are roasted cauliflower, anything grilled and anything fresh. Last week, with spring attempting to poke its way in, I was missing our CSA box. I think about the farm and instantly, I want summer, and my weekly … Continue reading
