Tomato plant progress! This week I harvested the majority of the remaining tomatoes on my patio tomato. Here are the ones I picked tonight. I think I probably harvested about 15-18 tomatoes from my plant. The first five that ripened a couple weeks ago were big, red, perfect beauties! The remaining tomatoes seem to quite … Continue reading
Last Week: Dinner Meal Plan for Week of August 18 – August 24: Saturday 8/18: Out My evening plans fell through, but I still had a nice night. With the huz out on a “Man Date” with his bros for the evening, I ended up staying in and indulging in some wonderful “me” time, which … Continue reading
I have never been a pork chop fan. As a kid, the only way I would eat them was if they were crusted with Shake ‘n’ Bake and baked to indistinguishable crisp. The thinner and crisper, the better! As an adult, I pretty much never make them for myself. But, the huz loves ‘em. When … Continue reading
On Monday night, the huz and I had dinner at Sidetrack with two of our friends. These two: Come on now, I must have a better picture of them somewhere. Ah ha. Here we go. Four years ago. Our wedding. Tom’s good friend Andy, and my good friend, Five Cent Femme. First and only picture, … Continue reading
This picture pretty much sums up my Sunday afternoon. Squirrel in our backyard knows what’s up. Sittin’ and chillin’. Many hours after brunch, when we finally began to work up an appetite again, I started working on dinner, which took about 2 hours: 30 minutes of prep, and 90 minutes of simmering. All-American Chili Recipe … Continue reading

However, Sunday morning before we left, I realized they were expired! Bummer. But, we were both craving brunch, so we decided to give … Continue reading

Today I thought I would depart from the topic of food, and instead write about a topic that has been constantly on my brain lately: preparing for our trip to Europe this fall! This month I have been going into serious preparation mode, which has included purchasing a few new items to bring with us … Continue reading
This is not an appealing photograph. Sorry bout that. Camera settings were not right, I was in a rush, blah blah. Excuses. Tuesday’s dinner plan was Pimiento Cheese BLTs but I forgot to buy pimientos at the grocery store this past weekend. Fail! Instead, I improvised and just made traditional BLTs on toasted sourdough bread, … Continue reading
Sunday I was a kayaking, food prepping machine. Okay, maybe that is an exaggeration. I did, however, again go kayaking with Five Cent Femme. We did the awesome Barton to Gallup trip down the Huron River, with the oh-so-exciting jaunt through Ann Arbor’s new Argo Cascades. Love it! Kayaking was just what I needed! The … Continue reading
