In the past two weeks we’ve made braised lamb twice. Once, because I wanted to share the recipe with all my lovely readers. Twice, because it is perfect for company. I don’t know about you, but I like to let people think that I slaved over a dish and made it perfect just for them. [...]

Lavomatic: Brunch
February 9th, 2010 by meg · 8 Comments · food
This past weekend some friends of ours were in town from Louisville. As we e-mailed back and forth Jess and I decided that Lavomatic would be the perfect place to meet up for brunch. The restaurant is light and airy. The atmosphere is chill. What really sealed our fate is that a group of nine needs [...]
Pasta Bake
February 4th, 2010 by meg · 3 Comments · food
In our house we have a couple go to week night meals. Things that are easy and relatively healthy. Something that is even more of a bonus is if it is easy to change up. Pasta Bake used to be something we would make one night and eat for three. I don’t know why we [...]
Update on the Cheese and Wine Tasting

I have heard back from manager friend of the Anderson Kroger. Here is an excerpt of what she had to say
I’m so glad that you were able to meet Liz Thorpe and attend my wine and cheese tasting! As for tastings at Kroger, they (for the most part) are store specific. Most stores offer a [...]

Murray’s Cheese, Cheese Tasting
January 28th, 2010 by meg · 5 Comments · food
While the ladies and I were sipping wine and getting to know each other night at our wine group the conversation naturally turned to cheese. One of the women said she should run to her car and get her cheese book. I was like, what cheese book do you have in your car? As I [...]
Valentine’s Day

If you are planning on going out to eat for Valentine’s Day it is about time to make some reservations. Jess and I are not much for tradition but Valentine’s day is the one tradition that we are pretty hard core about. I can’t remember, but we might have gone to the same place every [...]
Renaissance West or Eating with Grandma
January 25th, 2010 by meg · 5 Comments · food
In October my grandma moved into a retirement community, Renaissance West. The move has been a bit of an adjustment and it seems like the food has been the biggest one. Now, my grandma and I don’t always see eye to eye when it come to food. She says my food is fancy. To explain [...]

What’s playing in your kitchen?
January 20th, 2010 by meg · 10 Comments · food
As I was preparing my appetizer for my new women’s wine group last night I was listening to a cd and wondering what other people listened to while they are cooking. Jess always listens to NPR. This is not a favorite for me because I can never concentrate on the radio show and cook. Then [...]
Measuring

Have you ever asked your grandma how to make something and she said, ”A little of this and a little of that.” I can tell you that Jess’ grandma is like this. Maybe one day I will tell you how she taught me how to make fried apple pies, it wasn’t pretty and the family [...]

Baked Eggs
January 18th, 2010 by meg · 2 Comments · food
I discovered baked eggs on a blog, which at this point in time I don’t know what blog it was. I have since read about them on probably 10 blogs. You could say that I have become slightly obsessed with them. If cooked correctly they are creamy deliciousness. For me each bite is a little [...]
