Today I woke up craving Indian food. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a really amazing, homemade Indian dinner. Too long, actually. As good as the Indian restaurant can be, it never really hits the spot entirely. Last time we were there, all I wanted was lamb curry; and that’s what we ordered. But what […]

Great Day to Pick Some Grapes!
The weather here in Minnesota has been really nice the past few days. It’s been in the 80’s, and feels much more like summer than fall! I have so much yard work to get finished before we leave for India and this weather has been perfect for it, but I haven’t done any! Nope. I […]
Braised Pheasant with Red Cabbage and Wild Rice
I come from a family who loves to hunt for their food. Saturdays and Sundays during the fall were spent walking the fields around SE Minnesota, with dogs in tow, trying to flush out birds. …Pheasants, to be exact. I never really enjoyed hunting and only went with a few times (I never actually carried […]
Potato Rolls: Bring on the Buns!!!
In my last post I mentioned saving the water that you boil your potatoes in to use for making bread. I didn’t know if I would have time today to show you want to do with it. I had some serious cake baking that needed to get done and even though I’m a super duper […]
Coq Au Vin
Today I was craving Coq Au Vin. I’m not really sure why I was craving it, because I’ve never actually had it before. It just sounded good. The weather has been dreary so something slow cooked sounded amazing. I knew I wanted to use chicken and some veggies, but I didn’t want a hotdish or […]
Sushi Party!
I love dinner with friends, the more the better! Summer and I have been trying to plan a get-together and we decided that tonight was the night. Her daughter, Isabelle, loves sushi and had been asking when they could come over and make some. Piyush and I learned to make sushi from a couple of […]
Craving something Indian
I’m looking more and more forward to my trip to India everyday! I can’t believe it’s under a month away now. I have so many gifts to buy for people, so many things to pack for Piyush and I (note to self: don’t forget the toilet paper), and not a lot of time to brush […]
Bouillabaisse: Something Smells Fishy!
Today was a productive day! I had went to a cable class last night at the gym and was really, really hurting this morning. I feel muscles that I usually forget I have. As much as I wanted to just laze around and relax I decided that I should go back to the gym today […]
What a Beautiful Baking Day!
I love this crisp weather. It’s absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the crispness in the air also means that snow will be here sooner than later. That makes me sad. But the snow isn’t here yet, so I’m going to do my best to enjoy autumn as long as I can! I love everything about autumn. I […]
Pesto Pasta…for one! My Version of Noodle and Co.’s Pesto Cavatappi
Today Mayo is hosting a chess tournament in the cafeteria so Piyush is busy competing with his friends. I work evenings this weekend, so its nice he has something fun (for him) to do aside from golf. He is a golf maniac and I think a little weekend break will be good for him. While […]
