Lots of newness around here. Since I posted last, we have a new family member—sweet little Elizabeth Rose: . . . and we’re buying a new house. Well, the house is old—a classic Minneapolis bungalow built in 1924—but it will be new to us. On a much different level, another recent novelty for me is [...]

The other night, we had the richest meal I’ve had since, I think, that osso bucco last year. The main dish, pork braised in milk, was followed by Sharyn’s rendition of sticky toffee pudding with custard, a signature dessert of the Lake District, where our friend Leanda, who just happened to be one of the [...]

I do love cooking projects that require days. No-knead bread. Gravy from scratch. I’ve done both this week. The no-knead bread was for dinner at Matt & Christina’s, where we had a delicious, mostly local meal that unfolded at a nice relaxed pace. First, Christina cooked up some little pizzas with Indian-spiced tomato-mustard green sauce [...]
Florentine eats

Thanks to our friend Rena, who lived in Florence for a year, we had some insider recommendations about where to eat. The most interesting (and delicious) place, by far, was Mario’s, which serves only lunch. The menu is scribbled on a piece of paper, and is replete with meat. The seating is first come, first [...]

It was actually pretty chilly, and the sky was gray, but the fruit trees are blooming, the kids are antsy, and everyone just wanted to hang around in the big back garden yesterday. The grill was going from 11 to 7. There were pork sausages of all kinds, veal chops, pork chops, lamb shoulder, lamb [...]

That’s the name of the butcher’s shop where I’ll be buying the chickens for the Christmas potluck. I love it there. It’s the only place I can think of where amidst carcasses, I feel a sense of comfort. The older couple who own it do everything with care and friendliness. While his wife chats with [...]

Of activity, that is. (The real flurries are more like blizzards, falling on friends and relatives all up and down the east coast.) But life here has been moving so fast, and what do I have to show for it? No photos of food, anyway. The food has disappeared before the camera reached it. Friday [...]

I haven’t actually been making or eating as many meatballs as it may seem from the frequency of their appearance in these posts. But last night I did make a new (for me) variation on an old theme: meatballs that were halfway between Lions Heads from Shanghai cuisine and Milanese, with some of my favorite [...]

Last night, the RSFP served ossobuco. The platters came out piled with hunks of glistening meat and bone. Something about about the primal nature of this meal brought out the sillies in us. We started trying on each others’ glasses. Some began eating with their fingers. There was quizzing on food and sex. And then [...]

No. I’m not talking about that mystery conglomeration “corn dog” that masquerades as meat, but meatballs, served cocktail-catering-style on little wooden skewers. We took Jack to a cocktail reception last night, and his favorite items were the polpetti, or, meat lollipops. (My favorite was the split date posing as a dish for gorgonzola and a [...]
