Prepping tomatoes for oven roasting

... and then adding to pasta primavera. Wow was it good. Love
making oven-roasted tomatoes - great when local tomatoes come into
season and they're plentiful.

chardonnay, savory, rosemary, lobster stock, finished with cilantro,
and pecorino romano. Yummy, yummy, Scluuuuuuuuuuuuuurp! Forgot to

Tuna with ramps and peas ... YYS style.

If you've never tried ramps, try them. If you've never grilled tuna,
try it!! (especially with a quick marinade of lime, garlic, sesame
oil and ginger) ... the salsa brought a burst of flavor and color to
the plate. Yummy. Oh never mind. Schlurp.

Let's cook! Dinner with friends, dinner at home.

We had dinner with the Hoffners last night. We brought some artichokes
and berries (with magical dipping sauce) and shrimps with zippy sauce
and onion dip - they had blackened chicken, a thai noodle dish, a red
curry rice, stuffed mushroom caps and stuffed cherry tomatoes. yummy
yummy schlurp!

Tonight we had chicken kebobs with our standard marinade (If you have
had grilled chicken at our house, you know it). 3 bowls: rice,
chicken, grilled vegees. Naan bread. Yummy.YUMMY. Schlurp. We
finished with berries and cream over baking powder biscuits. YYS!

Almost that time of year! Basil bite and Lemon Sorbetto

How could I have forgotten to blog these tasty little morsels ?

Black Bean Soup and Chicken yumminess

There is no way there's not a name for what I made tonight with the
chix from last week. It's just too good. Started with bacon, added
onion and garlic, chix stock, frozen peas, sundried tomatoes, fresh
mushrooms, pasta water (fully starched), heavy cream, and romano
cheese freshly grated. There has to be a name for it, I just don't
know what the name is, other than, well,
YUMMY YUMMY SCHLURP!

note: yesterday was Elvis' birthday. Dru loves Elvis sandwiches. I
made one for Ernie. He didn't care for it. So at Dinner, Ernie said
he didn't want any if it had bacon in it. Dru proclaimed that Ernie
didn't like bacon, as he was devouring this dish. Meanwhile, Evelyn
was shouting, Bacon bacon bacon!!!!

Chicken schlurprise

this was a yummy thing I made. We often roast chickens on weekends,
then have cooked chicken to work with through the week. 1/2 chicken,
capers, dried mushrooms (that I boiled in the pasta water, to also add
a layer of flavor to the pasta) added a handful or two of peas,
sundried tomatoes, roux, garlic, chicken stock and some romano.
