Grilled Steak with a Cherry Port Sauce

, , , , , , 0 Comments

This June, Lesley and I missed our first monthly dinner. We both had it marked in our planners, but somehow the day came and went without either of us noticing. It wasn’t until we were planning for vacation that we noticed our error. The horror! Luckily, it was vacation month, and we got plenty of together time. We also had some great food on vacation–some of which was inspired by the plentiful Michigan cherry fields. So, when it came time for dinner this month, I thought we might as well reminisce a bit and take a taste trip back to Michigan. (more…)

It is summertime, and the garden is in full swing! This year, I added a raised bed to my deck. It is has officially replaced the random collections of pots on my deck that never successfully grew anything. The new raised bed on the otherhand is an herb master. Or it was until Charlie figured out that she can jump into it and tear plants out. Crazy puppy! (more…)

Lemon Dream Pie

When Lesley asked me to make a lemon pie for her birthday I was at a loss. We may agree on a lot of things, but we still have our differences. Birthday desserts is one of them. For me, the more chocolatey you can make a cake, the better. For Lesley, it’s pie. Don’t get me wrong. Pies are delicious, but I discovered long ago that pie crust is next to impossible to make and gave up adding pies to my repertoire. I suppose this is another way Lesley challenges me. Isn’t that what best friends are for? (more…)

I have a new love. No, it’s not lobster mac and cheese. That is a very old love of mine. My new love is Prime Photos. This service is available to all Amazon Prime members, and I recently discovered its glorious benefits. First, it automatically uploads all of my pictures and videos from my phone, and the space is unlimited! I have never been great about backing up my photos, and now I can rest assured that they are safe. Second, it sends me a super fun notification showing me the pictures and videos that I took the same day last year. (more…)

Thyme Pasta with Champagne and Truffle Lobster Cream Sauce

Last night was our first NHN dinner of the new year. If you’ve been reading these, you might have noticed that we haven’t yet written about our Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners. I assure you, those are coming, but before I could focus on writing about Thanksgiving, I had to get this dinner published and recorded. It was every bit as good as the name sounds, and even though its Sunday and there are no alcohol sales, I am trying to figure out how to get another bottle of champagne so I can make another round tonight!
