Vosges Collezione Italiana

February 27, 2009

This year marked the second time I have been on a business trip on my birthday.  Although this year I can hardly complain as we did celebrate all weekend, lavishly.  However, after a long day of meetings and brainstorms in Chicago I felt I deserved a little treat.  I was ecstatic to see a Vosges kiosk [...]

Portobello Pizza

February 25, 2009

Monday was my birthday and to celebrate my mother stayed with me for a long weekend. Because of this and the fact I’ve been feeling under the weather lately I’m a bit behind with my posts and also reading the blogs I follow. However, I did want to share a wonderful pizza I made over [...]

Langoustine and Angel Hair

February 18, 2009

When at the grocery store I love discovering a new ingredient.  I used to have a bit of a habit of picking things up without the faintest idea of how I might use myself.  I have a bit of a soft spot for unusual ingredients in the way that some people do for a stray [...]

February 16, 2009

My friend and co-worker (the same friend who I traveled to DC with) and I have been talking about having a soup party for a long time.  It finally came to fruition tonight.  The instructions were that everyone was to bring a pot of soup to share and Tupperware containers to share the leftovers.  It [...]

Modern Indian Valentine’s Day meal

February 15, 2009

For the past three years on Valentine’s Day my boyfriend and I have gotten Indian takeout.  This year I decided there was no reason I couldn’t make a great Indian meal for us at home.  To help me come up with a great meal I spent a night at the Boston Public Library leafing through [...]

Yesterday my boyfriend and I returned from a nice long weekend in Maine. For the past couple of years he and his co-workers have gone away for ski weekends and this time I decided to come along. When I first agreed to go I expected to spend most of my weekend hanging around the chalet [...]

Chickpea Cutlets with Creamy Paprika Mushrooms

February 2, 2009

As someone who enjoys following trends I find it facinating how quickly recipes can spread across the internet and grow in popularity. It seems like such a shift from the days of church cookbooks and recipe requests in the newspaper. One that I’ve been watching for awhile is a recipe for Chickpea Cutlets by the [...]

An untraditional Super Bowl feast & small announcement

February 2, 2009

My boyfriend and I decided to spend the Super Bowl having a quiet night in with a somewhat unorthodox spread. We’d spent the whole day skiing and snowboarding (or in my case mostly falling, whether downhill or off a chair lift) and loved the idea of something turn key and indulgent to enjoy during the [...]
