WCB- Dramatic Changes 2007-06-16 09:12:15 The before shot……..
And now…..the after shot
June in our house means the Annual Shave for Harmon, and this year it was, again, a very timely date as he was shaved on Monday and the entire week has been hot with temps in the 90’s and high humidity. He has been a very happy cat without his thick coat. When he is shaved, what fur remains feels like fabulous suede, and I can’t get enough of petting and stroking him. It also (unfortunately) accents his chubbiness, all his folds, and gives him an entirely different look that is at once completely endearing and really rather comical. But he’s happy, and by Fall it will have grown back just in time to keep him warm for winter.
One funny note: the first time he went outside after coming home from the Vet on Monday, he hesitated a great deal and was looking around the yard, then ran outside and behind the grill, where he peeked out some more before eventually wandering out onto the patio. He clearly was s
June in the garden 2007-06-15 09:59:12 I wait in high anticipation for this gorgeous lily to bloom each June. It is truly a one-of-a-kind.
And my day lily patch is abundant with rich red color.
The Peonies peaked; then the heat knocked them flat but the giant soft blossoms were so lovely and fragrant for a few wonderful days.
Spring Rolls 2007-06-13 14:13:39 The heat marches on, another hot day on tap. I am getting up around 6:00 am to get outside for a walk before it heats up too much. The mornings are gorgeous and cool; hardly a hint of what the afternoons become with their hot, windy sky and burning sun. But I do love it. Summer is so fleeting; the worst you can do is wish any of it away because of the weather. Yesterday as I walked along a path near our house that borders one of the many ponds around us, I surprised about a dozen baby rabbits nibbling on the dewy morning grass. They were so adorable with their tiny bunny ears and their little cotton fluff tails. They just began darting to and fro to get away from me….big scary lady that I am….the worst I would have done was hugged them to death, the cute lil’ things! One of them was pressed down in the grass staring up at me, and at first I thought it might have been injured as it seemed unable to run away. Then I noticed it had a HUGE leaf in it’s mouth, and Read more:Spring

Wood Oven Chimnea Pizza- Round 2 2007-06-18 13:42:42 The idea and concept of turning my lovely chimnea into a wood burning pizza oven was not at all a bad idea, just one that needed some fine tuning. Our first adventure provided enough of a base to work with, despite a charred crust that was inedible. We agreed that a buffer between the grill and the coals was necessary so we purchased four squares of unglazed quarry tile to act as a pizza stone. Mike had to cut off about two inches from two of them so they would fit over the grill grate.
The fire is built inside the chimnea, then when it is reduced to manageable coals and small flame, the grate is inserted and the tiles were placed on top. One thing I did notice about this set-up was that it dramatically reduced the air circulation inside, which wasn’t bad since we were doing this on a particularly windy day and had plenty of oxygen for our fire. We heated up the stone a little then slid the first pizza onto it.
With tongs and my grill spatula, I kept the pizza turned to avoid Read more:Pizza

Fruits of Summer 2007-06-21 19:40:25
Simply washing them is inspirational. Eating them is mind-boggling, although unfortunately the grapes were rather sour. The Cherries are out of this world. I don’t even mind the cost of them; their season is so short here and I will make the best of them while I can.
Other wonderful fruits available this time of year are the varietal melons- Canary, Sharlyn, Galia and Crenshaw melons, all with different tastes and textures; something unique and delicious to have other than a cantaloupe or honeydew. Try a yellow watermelon! Eat phenomenal strawberries!!
I could eat fruit all day long this time of year.

Bragging Rights 2007-06-25 08:51:00 Minnesota and Wisconsin are well known for weather extremes. Well known. Some people think we live in parkas from September to May, suffer through windchills that freeze your eyeballs and endure sub-zero temps for 8 months out of the year. It’s all wrong; just wrong.
Yup, winter is cold. Deal with it, OK? But we get amply rewarded each year when the chill and frost of winter gives way to the fragrance and glory of spring; then segues into one of the finest words ever known to mankind. Summertime. Officially, summer started on June 21st. And without a doubt in the way, the past weekend was an amazing summer weekend fully experienced in the Midwest. I celebrated in style, taking four of my close friends to our lake home in west-central Wisconsin for a girls weekend. No husbands, no children (between us we have 14, with one coming in November) but lots of food, plenty of treats, and now in the best way possible, fabulous memories for all of us, including some truly memorable weather Read more:Rights
Sweet Saffron Pilaf with Currants and Nuts 2007-06-29 09:21:36
Often times, when I am browsing through a cookbook that I randomly pluck off a shelf in the library, I come across a recipe, one single recipe, that causes me to clutch the book to my chest in glee. I must check out the book even if it yields me that one and only gem, but my hope is always that it will show me a great deal more.
Such was the case in finding ‘Indian Home Cooking- A Fresh Introduction to Indian Food’ by Suvir Saran and Stephanie Lyness. The book is resplendent with gorgeous photos, plain talk about the wonders of Indian cuisine and all it’s aromatic and unique ingredients, and 150 recipes that make me simply swoon in anticipation. It is full of options for making everything vegetarian too. This rice recipe was the one that urged me to check out the book. What else I found when I got it home and curled up on the couch with it and a packet of page markers were more wonderful recipes that are making me think I should purchase this book for my permanent co Read more:Sweet

Hey there, gorgeous!! 2007-06-27 09:33:23
Stunning, isn’t it?
This gorgeous
Day Lily has not bloomed in the last two years, as some wily and irritating creature has helped themselves to the bud just as it gains enough momentum to burst into bloom. It only puts out one bloom per stalk, so it is limiting in its growth. This year, I thwarted the devilish thief by spraying stinky stuff all over the plant as it grew, thereby creating a ‘YUK!’ mode for any four footed wild animal with a penchance for fancy flowers from eating it before I could behold its glory. And early this week I was amply rewarded for my effort. I just can’t get over how beautiful it is.
Here’s another Day Lily bunch. These are such a sunny yellow, with such a pretty look. They stand right next to the lovely pink one above, and the contrast, especially with the feathery foliage of the Yarrow around it, is just a sight to behold. I can stand on my garden path forever gazing at their beauty. My neighbors must think I am nuts, an
Pasta with Lemon Wine Sauce 2007-06-27 08:34:33
Or, more appropriately titled ‘How luscious lemon love saved the day’
Tuesday was a scorcher for us in MN. As I was driving home from the chiropractor in the mid-afternoon, the temperature reading in my car was a steady 97 degrees. By the time I rolled into my driveway it had dropped only to 94. My thoughts for dinner were a glass of ice water and a cool foot bath. Food?? Cooking?? Fuggeddaboddit.
Ahhh, the power of A/C. It changed my mind quickly. Within the confines of a comfortable 76 degrees, my house (and a short nap) saved my sanity enough to throw together a terrific meal. I had some delicious grape tomatoes left over from my weekend kabobs, a bright bag of broccoli and some tomato-basil chicken sausage. I tossed the broccoli in a hot saute pan and stir-fried it until it was bright green, then poured in water and covered it to let it steam. Into a bowl it went, covered, to wait for the final mix up. Pasta
was cooking and tomatoes were quartered; sausages sliced and Read more:Lemon
To clarify the Puffin question….. 2007-07-03 05:53:00
Kate, and Kate are looking for some clarity and explanation to what Puffins are, as I stated they were a favorite snack in my TMI meme post.
Puffins are an unusual type of seabird, found on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but it’s also the name of a cereal. Created by Barbara’s Bakery, Inc., the cereal sales help support Project Puffin, which helps restore the birds to their natural nesting sites on the Atlantic coast, specifically in Maine. The birds nest abundantly in Newfoundland, Iceland and Britain.
Flavor-wise, think Cap’n Crunch after it cleaned up its act, started eating healthy and began an exercise program. Mmmmm. And not in a bowl with milk, no way&hellip
;..eating them straight from the box, generally by the handful, is the only way.

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Um, let’s see. 1997. I had a three year old son who was adorable. I started a new job in retail at a bakery that I would then stay with for the next five years, moving into Office Management where I helped utilized a near 300% growth of the business over the next 15 months; I was rewarded for that hard work by getting a huge salary, company car, expense account and tons more responsibility. Oh yeah….and a regrettable stress level that came with having the boss from Hell. It may have been the hardest, most difficult and stressful job I have ever had, but I l
WCB-High Summer Snuggling 2007-07-07 07:26:00 It’s high summer in the Midwest, and temps are very appropriate for July which can only mean one thing: HOT! Harmon has been nicknamed ‘Solar Cat’ due to his lengthy snoozes in the sunshine, which I am sure feels great on his very short summertime haircut.
After a recent ladies-only weekend away, Harmon needed some pretty intense cuddling. For a long time he lay on my lap, allowing me to scratch his ears and neck endlessly. I was all too willing to oblige.
I just love petting him when his fur is this short; he feels like superb luxurious suede. It’s way better than getting handfuls of his long hair caught in my fingers, plus he just thinks it’s grand. He looks like he’s in heaven, doesn’t he?!

Quintessential summertime 2007-07-04 10:13:34
It’s July 4th and the height of summer. The weather is warm, humid and occasionally thundery, the peak of flower season in the garden has come and mostly gone and the foods of summer are swelling in the markets at an alarming rate. Alarming because it just seems like there is simply not enough time in the world to enjoy them all before they are gone.
Berries have been falling out of my fridge recently. Two packages of Strawberries for one price and they nearly leap into my cart in their lush, rich red, seed speckled goodness to be sliced and dropped in glee over a bowl of cereal, a scoop of yogurt or best yet, dangled happily over one’s gaping maw, like a baby bird instinctively reacting to the presence of sustenance. Cherries are deep crimson red temptations; I could eat them by handfuls, lips purpled with juice, my fingers stained dark as if I have just been booked for a crime. It is criminal almost, the delight and sweetness of those shiny orbs, so good and perfect f Read more:Quintessential
Simply Salmon Burgers 2007-07-09 19:53:40 I don’t watch cooking shows; we don’t have cable so the Food Network exists as only a hazy sliver of memory in my brain. Sure, I’ve seen some of it. I survived some boring and painful days in the hospital last summer after major surgery watching some FN shows that made me hungry for the day I could eat real food again. I am vaguely aware of the chefs on the various shows by name, not by much else. But recently I did manage to catch some of a PBS cooking program on ‘healthy living’ and watched in curiousity to see what they would talk about. Ho hum….been there, done that. It told me nothing new, but it did talk about Salmon Burgers
.
Hmmm…..I can do THAT!
Once at the grocer, I couldn’t recall the brand name of the canned salmon that was used in the show, so I took a deep breath and gambled on the cheaper of the available brands- Flemings. I popped open the top and dumped the contents in a bowl, all the while crossing my fingers that I wo
WCB- Gimme summa dat! 2007-07-13 22:25:14 There’s no question that Harmon loves food; I mean, have ya seen his belly?? He especially loves people food, although he his severely limited in what he gets. Cheese has to be one of his favorites though. When he knows there is something being consumed that he wants, he can be the most persistent lil’ thing.
Witness what he is doing with Griffin, who is eating string cheese. See the paw action?
Now here comes Bustopher. ‘Just what is all the fuss??’
Bustopher is thinking ‘Do I bother getting up there?? Is it worth it?’
(i love the belly views on Harmon, don’t you?? I could rub and tickle his paunch forever!)
Harmon didn’t get any cheese, he only got to sniff fingers and try to gnaw on them when G. was done. He sure makes having a snack difficult in our house.
But, due to the fact that he is SO stinkin’ cute, I forgive him every time.
Just look at those giant furry feet!!!

Fresh Farm Goodness 2007-07-11 22:30:56
If you happen to live in a part of the country that can be blessed with fresh produce year round, I sure hope you don’t ever take it for granted. Be blessed by it. In our area, fresh from the farm produce is a short season, and when it comes I want to fill my kitchen with its goodness for every meal.
This mornings foray to the local market yielded tiny baby potatoes, some no bigger than my thumbnail ….
…..and they were so darn cute that I nearly squealed in delight. In fact, when my Dad came over to pick up Griffin for golf, he grabbed a handful of them as if he was going to pop them in his mouth like a bunch of grapes. Only when I stopped him, saying “Dad, those are potatoes.” did he take a closer look and drop them back in the sack. Cute lil’ buggers aren’t they!
Along with the potatoes came a gorgeous head of cauliflower, a bunch of baby carrots and a jar of maple honey so achingly good that I could have drank the whole sample bottle in Read more:Goodness
Ashes to ashes….food to food 2007-07-15 21:21:51 I could possibly subtitle this post ‘Let the Flames begin’
My dinner, you see, involved fire. Burning embers and ash-inducing fire on my grill, and NOT the kind that cooks your food! People&hellip
;.my food was flaming!
BUT……it was pretty darn tasty, nonetheless.
There was the tasty crimson red sockeye salmon fillet, bathed in gorgeous golden olive oil, mashed garlic and lime juice; there was a sirloin steak for my little carnivore (and me to share), and there was corn. De-tassled and unhusked. THIS is where I made my fatal error. For it was mere moments after I snapped this photo, as I leaned over my sizzling, very tantalizingly scented grill for possibly a better shot, that the corn husks burst into flames.
Yippee! Dinner and a show! Love. It! All we needed were some flamenco dancers to grab those torches off the grill and do a whoop, holler and spin around my patio (wouldn’t the neighbors have LOVED that!?) to make it all worthwhile. As it was, well,
Caprese Chicken Salad 2007-07-19 11:34:13
What is more eloquently summertime than a Caprese Salad
? Especially a sun-dappled plate of Caprese Salad? Fresh tomato, fresh plucked basil still smelling of sunshine and earth and a chunk of delicious fresh mozzarella?
I took a few days off to spend quietly at our cabin with nothing but simple food ideas in mind, a garden to tend to that desperately needed it, and a lot of writing to catch up on. Mother Nature decided to give me a tropical storm strength wind to keep me company and cooler than normal temps to make the garden work less taxing. It was a nice change from having to hide indoors from the oppressive heat.
I decided to add some simple protein to my Caprese to keep me going through all my hard work, and grilled off some chicken breasts to adorn my plate. I simply seasoned them with salt and pepper, then when they were cooked, I tossed them into a bowl with olive oil and a generous splash of Torrontes white wine to give them some amazing flavor. A few quick backstrokes in th Read more:Chicken
Behold the fish 2007-07-22 06:22:49 If you have followed this blog for any length of time, you probably know that Griffin near always turns his nose up when I make fish. Salmon….ewwww. Tilapia…..blech. Scallops….what the heck are THOSE THINGS?? (poke…poke) I could cook it in the most fabulous fashion and he would still turn his nose up at it, proclaiming that it’s “not meat”.
So then, one weekend at the cabin, he catches this pretty decent sized largemouth bass about 4 feet off of our dock.
It was a fighter, and was missing half of it’s mouth already; apparently the first time it bit that pointy thing in the water it didn’t really learn it’s lesson. Pointy thing = bad. Well, fish aren’t exactly known for their Mensa skills, are they?
When I asked him what he wants to do with it, toss it or eat it (smugly thinking I know what he will say) he surprised me by saying:
“I want to keep it and eat it.”
Well, dang. I coulda been knocked over Read more:Behold
BLUEBERRIES! 2007-07-20 10:24:05
When my favorite PYO Blueberry farm opens up for business, I plan a day to go and pick among the beautiful scenery of their place high up on the bluffs on the Mississippi near Maiden Rock WI. The drive alone is stunning as the road winds up and down the bluffs; the river sparkles through the trees while eagles and vultures soar along the cliff edges. The weather on the day I went was blessedly cool and breezy, perfect for lengthy picking and I collected just about 20# of fruit. The bushes were so laden with berries that I barely had to mov from between two rows before my first box was overflowing.
So gorgeous, lush, sweet and tart and delicious. One of nature’s most perfect foods. I freeze most of them; I make blueberry syrup, sometimes jam, smoothies and since we broke down and purchased an ice cream maker (why….why….why, cry my thighs) I made a fantastic and deliciously refreshing blueberry sorbet. Mmmmm.
I just love fresh blueberries, they just make me want to

Ever since that idiot cult movie ‘Napolean Dynamite’ I have a hard time looking at a quesadilla without thinking of how dumb that movie was. Griffin was in 5th grade, and came home one day and said “Everyone in my class has seen Napolean Dynamite except me.” So being the open-minded parents that we are, we rented it and all watched it together.
And we all hated it.
Thank goodness G. was astute enough to see what a bore the thing was, and I am sure there will be someone out there reading this who is probably screeching indignantly right about now, proclaiming it something like ‘the greatest movie of all time’ or some other form of drivel. Gawd. Save it.
We love Quesadillas in our house. They are a quick, delicious and simple meal, or snack or even breakfast as I have been known to scramble an egg, add in some sausage and cheese and sear it all in a tortilla until melted and delicious. Dinnertime quesadillas get a bit more of the culinary touch, like
Open mouth, insert sandwich 2007-07-25 21:22:00
Time at the lake is always cause for good eating. When there is a big crowd there, the meals can be fabulous and often the kitchen counter is simply groaning with food when the call goes out to come and fill plates. In the kitchen, space is limited, pots and pans are old and worn, but I swear every meal tastes like 5-star cuisine because of where we are. Most weekends, it’s usually general chaos and mayhem as upwards of 8-10 kids can be roaming around inventing all kinds of games and events while their parents relax, read and enjoy each others company
It was just Mike, G. and I for one very peaceful, blissful weekend and this is a rarity, so we thoroughly enjoyed it along with the gorgeous weather that accompanied it. I had a nice big zucchini that I decided to grill. I cut it the long way, brushed it with herb oil and plopped it onto a hot grill, searing it so tender and sweet. The previous night, while grilling our dinner, I had put a loaf of bread on also, and for lunch, with Read more:mouth

10 minutes time and $6.75 2007-07-29 19:01:13
That’s all it cost me for all this and the time it took to collect it all. I’m thinking I don’t need to buy produce in the grocer’s until the Farm Market season ends. I was absolutely swimming with ideas by the time I lugged my bags to the car.
Broccoli- a dollar; three eggplants-$1; carrots-$2; radishes- $.75; zucchini-$1; bok choy-$1
I added in a delicious yellow pepper and some polenta, and soon enough Mike and I were sitting down to something amazing, fresh and wonderful
I seared the eggplant in olive oil, tossing in a little lemon juice for flavor. The polenta, which I did not make from scratch, was cooked in my grill pan and was really wonderful. I slipped the eggplant on top of it and ate it like an appetizer. I am only just beginning to experiment with eggplant (yeah, I know….shame on me, huh?) and this will keep me coming back for more.

Friends make all the difference 2007-07-30 19:53:42 This past weekend we invited our close group of friends to the lake for a relaxing and fun weekend. One family couldn’t make it due to a last minute illness, but 15 others descended on the cabin, bringing 9 kids age 2 to 13. We had a monumentally fun time. The weather was fantastic; warm and sunny days with nice cool nights. The kids were loud and loving; they played like crazy really enjoying one another, swam themselves into exhaustion, loved taking rides on the paddleboat and ate like they were starving.
Here are the highlights:
Ethan, Jadon, Samantha and Hannah on a top bunk, thoroughly in ‘fun’ mode. Like all kids who have come before them in the place, the bunkbeds were turned into great forts.
There was numerous Harry Potter #7 sightings, as evidenced by Naomi, Griffin and Tim.
The massive toy cabinet was nearly emptied, and all contents were very much enjoyed here by Hannah, Jadon and Micah.

A call for soothing food 2007-08-03 19:50:22 Like most people, I will cook to ease any emotional distress I am feeling, although I don’t consider myself an emotional eater. Often when I am upset, I don’t think about eating, or I simply can’t even put food to my mouth, such as my Wednesday dinner that was forgotten as I watched, gape-mouthed at the terrible images on the TV. The past two days have been horribly sorrowful; and cooking seemed very necessary today. It’s like a pall is over our city, the saddest and most despairing air since 9/11. This time, we know what it’s like to have the world focus its collective eyes on us, and let me tell you, it isn’t the way I wish Minnesota would be seen by the world’s eyes.

Indian food, with its fragrant spices and tantalizing scents was just the ticket. From the first whir of the spice grinder to the final scrape of the delicious sauce off my plate, this meal seemed to put a finger in the Read more:soothing
Structurally deficient…..but safe? 2007-08-02 21:47:19 If you approached a structure that had a sign saying ‘This structure is considered 50% safe’ would you be willing to venture onto it? I don’t think anyone would, but no one knew that this particular bridge had been inspected and considered ‘unsound’.
The bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis was inspected as recently as last year and given a 50% rating, deeming it ’structurally deficient’. But there was no discussion on repairs or anything. And yesterday, at the height of rush hour, without so much as a warning, it collapsed from one end to the other, dropping cars 6 stories down into the river. Right now, 4 people are dead and nearly 80 injured, and rescue teams are not able to reach cars that are submerged and trapped under twisted concrete and steel in the Mississippi River as conditions are very poor. One saving grace, if you can even call it that with such an awful tragedy, is that our summer drought has left the mighty river flowing at onl Read more:hellip
Prayers and well wishes needed….bad 2007-08-02 05:46:44
I’m sure the news has reached international proportions of the river bridge that collapsed during rush hour in Minneapolis yesterday. There aren’t any words that can describe or explain this tragedy. It’s just unreal.
I have watched many disasters unfold in other parts of the US and the world, and wondered what it would be like to be in the middle of something so epic in it’s horror and now I know. The news had me transfixed for hours last night, and it was first on my mind when I awoke this morning.

Bison Burgers by the numbers 2007-08-01 14:12:39
Meh. It’s nothing exciting. It’s a burger. Big woo hoo, you say, right?
But this ain’t no ground beef burger …….it’s BISON!
We love burgers, especially when grilled (who doesn’t??), but we rarely eat plain ground beef burgers preferring instead a mix of ground beef and ground turkey, straight turkey, and now, bison.
Bison doesn’t taste much different than ground beef. It does taste lighter, and more ‘beefy’ and doesn’t have much at all of the ‘fat’ taste that ground beef does. When we use ground beef, we use 93% fat free which is pretty lean, and I still think bison tastes leaner.
Ounce for ounce, bison has less fat, less calories and less cholesterol than ground beef, turkey or even chicken; a 3-ounce serving contains only 93 calories, whereas ground beef has 183, turkey- 125 and chicken- 140. Fat calories are: bison:1.8g, ground beef: 8.7g; turkey and chicken: 3.0g. Cholesterol, in order is 43mg, 55mg, Read more:Burgers
