Shrimp. Tomatoes. Feta. These three ingredients have been dancing around my imagination for a while - how could you go wrong with these summery flavors? (Even in a cold March.) Turns out this is a well-known combination in Greek cooking, known as shrimp saganaki! I read lots and lots of ... continue reading...
Lufthansa “domestic” business
At the end of our last installment, I was in Heathrow, waiting for a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. Lufthansa's "domestic" (intra-Europe) business class is more or less equivalent to US airlines' domestic first, except that the seats are exactly the same as those in coach - which is to say, small ... continue reading...
Flying United Global First
Airplane food: the very words strike fear into my heart. I still remember the days when cross country flights included meals in coach ("eggs or pancakes?", "pasta or chicken?"), but even back then I would often bring my own snacks to eat instead. These days, of course, the only food is up front. ... continue reading...
The American Club, Kohler WI
City living has its perks (restaurants!!), but I grew up a country girl and sometimes I just need to get out of the urban jungle. D and I decided to head about three hours north, to Kohler Wisconsin, for a weekend at the American Club. Kohler is a company town (sort of the plumbing version ... continue reading...
Oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies
This weekend, I was briefly possessed by the spirit of Cookie Monster. No, I didn't turn into a blue monster with googly eyes (phew), but I did devour six cookies in short order one morning, promptly ruining my appetite for the rest of the day. My mom was visiting, and I convinced her to do a ... continue reading...
La Bastide des Anges, Avignon
During this long, unrelenting February, I find my mind drifting back to the warmth of Provence. I drink rosé, keep lavender sachets on my nightstands, and think about La Bastide des Anges. My aunt booked us into this little B&B just outside Avignon, on the Ile de la Barthelasse. It's a ... continue reading...
Uncle R’s clam spaghetti
As soon as I first tasted my uncle's clam spaghetti, I was immediately hooked. It became one of my favorite dishes, and I'm always excited when he makes it for a birthday dinner or just because. I've always meant to try it for myself - here we go! The key to good clam spaghetti, of course, is ... continue reading...
Snow day lasagne
I've always tried to avoid making lasagne. It's such a production: make the sauce, shred the cheese, boil and drain the noodles, layer the whole thing, and finally bake it. But it's such a cozy meal on a cold day. So I took a page from my mother's book and made a "cheater" version of homemade ... continue reading...
A picturebook from France
Like many of you, I imagine, I've been indoors a lot recently due to the Polar Vortex and -50 degree windchills. So I spent some time tidying up my new condo and my iPhoto library, and came across a collection of photos from my France trip last fall that I wanted to share with you. Without ... continue reading...
