Beeeans and Cornbread!
Brewed Awakenings in Saline has some awesome paninis – highly recommended. (Their salads? Not so highly recommended, because of their smallish portion size [unlike the paninis].) This is the Monterrey, “Turkey, salami, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, red onions, mild peppers, green olives, and our special seasoned mayo grilled on ciabatta bread.” So good! It’s fairly … Continue reading
Wild Rice, Apple, and Sausage Stuffing
Fresh thyme smells so amazing. It’s once of those herbs where using fresh makes a huge difference, in my opinion. It also keeps well in the fridge for quite a while, at least relative to other herbs, like basil. With this herb, I made another Thanksgiving-inspired dish this weekend, using a recipe of Emeril’s that … Continue reading
The Day After Thanksgiving
The Day After Thanksgiving. Or, Black Friday, if you will. Honestly there are very few things in life I would rather do less than go to any sort of retail establishment the day after Thanksgiving. I just don’t buy into the hype, and am far too annoyed by people, in general, to face the public … Continue reading
Thanksgiving 2011
How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was lovely, and spent at my parents’ house – a modest group of five, plus Daisy. Before dinner, I was playing around with my new camera, photographing these mixed nuts. Several were also consumed by me. Love the walnuts! Daisy enjoyed lots of nuzzling with everyone. My parents prepared a … Continue reading

Red Robin & Russell
Good news!! I got a new camera! Not-so-good news: This post is full of iPhone pics, since I didn’t have a chance to charge my camera battery prior to this meal. Oh well, I think we can deal. Wednesday night we used an anniversary gift card from MegGoesNomNom-Mom and went to Red Robin for dinner. … Continue reading
