Just had to add a quick blip...roasted gems...I personally think should be added to every Thanksgiving Menu! Cut golden beets, red beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots in large chunks. Toss together with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roast on 375 F, covered with foil until soft. Can take up to one hour or longer depending on the size of the cut. Let them cool a bit, then toss and watch the gems glisten!! … [Read more...]
We make muffin runs to the Red Canoe! The muffins at this local joint is the unique element that sets the Red Canoe apart. We have hunted high and low for just the right muffin in Baltimore. They are usually too sweet or over processed. Not at the Red Canoe! My personal favorite has chunks of mango holding the muffin together...moist and fresh...best slightly heated up and enjoyed with a black cup of Zeke's coffee! … [Read more...]
He walked in with the baby. It looked like it was at least 30 lbs. It was round and plump and it quickly took me back to another place and time. Italy in 2007. It was night and we wound our way around the twisty Florence roads (it was somewhere near the Piazzale Michelangelo). On the right we noticed a sign. It looked quaint and tucked away. We pulled in and parked the car. As we descended down the steps, an Eden of a back yard unfolded before our eyes! There were maybe eight tables set up and set aglow by … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving dinner in our family would not be complete, don't ya know, without a festive layered bowl of red and white Yifta. The entire dinner conversation at my first Thanksgiving with my husband's family was abowt Yifta. The mystery of Yifta, I was told, begins with the mysterious transformation of three simple ingredients to heavenly cakey delight, overnight, covered in the fridge. What are the three top secret ingredients in Yifta? Have you ever tried Yifta? Who makes the Yifta? Where did the Yifta come from? … [Read more...]
Dark roasts come back to Baltimore!! When I think of Baltimore coffee I think of dark, rich, bold and black! When Zeke's first came on the scene I think they were part of the "under-roasted, taste the nuances of the bean" brigade...I am beyond happy they found their way to the dark and bold roasts that make me think of the early days (90's) of the Baltimore coffee scene! I am a devoted follower and happy to see them popping up in unexpected restaurants! … [Read more...]
This past Friday, we went with three other couples to Ryan's Daughter, in Towson, Maryland, to celebrate my friend's birthday. We had been through a huge list of restaurants, trying to find the perfect atmosphere for the special evening...not too stuffy, can wear jeans, good food and good beer. We made a good pick! The night was fun! The fish and chips were a hit! And my black and tan went down smooth! … [Read more...]
The air was clean and clear and the sun shining ever so happily. We arrived at the parking lot with our caravan. Just past the chain link fence there was a scene unfolding that reminded me of the movie the Lost Boys. There were boys everywhere! There were nine year olds and young men obviously skating off some college study stress. We had arrived at a world created and protected by these boys. We had come to Ridge. We were a bit trepidatious. Would they allow us on their turf? In their world? We began to … [Read more...]
It was delicious!! So good, the plates were being licked clean! My husband declared the apple pie to be the sexiest pie he had ever seen! I have to say Ina Garten's recipe, from the Amateur Gourmet's challenge, produced a chocolate cake that was moist and incredible...I admit, I substituted ground espresso for instant coffee...always a purest! This will be added to my (recipe) black book! (Yes, I have a little black book, for my favorite recipes...I'll share more about that another time!) The apple pie was "gone in … [Read more...]
I admit, some days I pull out frozen pizzas for dinner. And, once I even sent my children and Kristin's son into a gas station for breakfast. But, today was a different day. I went to bed with visions of anise pumpkin muffins in my head, and woke up inspired. I have this ongoing fantasy that my children come home to baked bread or chocolate cookie smells--but usually not. However, this morning was cold, sunny and cold, the kind of fall day in Minnesota that tricks you into thinking you can wear just one layer and … [Read more...]
We stumbled on to Mezze one night in Fells Point! It was an unexpected surprise! The tapas were brilliant. The flavor combinations were not pretentious or overdone. The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere conducive to lingering, laughing moments with good friends! A visit to Kali's a few weeks later, on the other hand, left me with quite another opinion. … [Read more...]
