Hello again! Yes it HAS been a long while since I posted anything here. Long story short, the three of us have moved from Chicago back to the DC area. What’s that, you say? Three? Yes, three. Last October Cheryl gave brith to our baby boy. He’s quite something and we’re very happy. Anyway, backContinue reading “New Beginnings!”

Merry Christmas!
We saw quite the Christmas Tree in Frankfurt earlier this month. O Tannenbaum indeed! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Return to Provence! (Pt. Un)
In what is now an established Thanksgiving tradition for us, we journeyed abroad on vacation. Over the years we’ve found it is fairly easy to travel internationally during this time. Flying domestically can be quite a hassle with packed airports, but flights headed to Europe can be half-empty. We like traveling in the off-season andContinue reading “Return to Provence! (Pt. Un)”
I’m ba-ack! Smoked Boudin and Polenta to Celebrate a Good Summer
I know, I know, it’s been a while since I last posted waaaaaay back in March. Sorry, things all of sudden became very busy with our sausage business. It was right about then Cheryl and I were applying to local farmers markets for the summer. As delicious as they are, the sausages don’t sell themselves!
Gnocchi Parisienne with Walnut & Gorgonzola Sauce
Wayyyy back in January I made some gnocchi Parisienne for Cheryl’s birthday dinner. Well one of them.

I was flipping through MichaelContinue reading “Gnocchi Parisienne with Walnut & Gorgonzola Sauce”
Grilling With a Salt Block: Happy Birthday to Me!
As mentioned last week, we were supposed to be out of town for my birthday but it didn’t work out. That’s ok, but it left us with a big question: what to do? Normally it’s dinner at one of my favorite restaurants but I didn’t feel like that. Instead, I decided we’d get a reallyContinue reading “Grilling With a Salt Block: Happy Birthday to Me!”
‘Cause Pasta Salad Is How I Feel
You may not know it but on occasion there are times where I struggle a little to come up with ideas to write about. Even so, I’m able to pull something off. Well, it caught up to me this week. Pasta salad pretty much sums it up.
Cooking Easter Lamb in a Work Zone
We’re a little more than a week into our kitchen work and it’s going really well. In fact, the kitchen really looks like a kitchen again and it feels good. Lots of the anxiousness from last week has melted away. Mostly because the sink finally showed up, but also because our stove got hooked upContinue reading “Cooking Easter Lamb in a Work Zone”
Please Pardon The Mess…Updating Our Kitchen
Cheryl and I have been looking at this kitchen since we bought the place back in 2012. We upgraded the appliances shortly after moving in but held off doing anything major. It wasn’t that horrible and since it’s not the kitchen that does the cooking we figured we’d overlook the decor until we couldn’t standContinue reading “Please Pardon The Mess…Updating Our Kitchen”
