 For the first time in about 6 weeks, I worked at Jean-Robert at Pigall’s. For the first time in far too long, I stayed all the way through service instead of doing prep and leaving, which has been the style for some time owing to my schedule. And, or […]
A nice, quiet evening at home. Wendy & I watched some television (my poor Personal Video Recorder (PVR) is staggering from the strain of all we’ve recorded on it!). We ordered in from LaRosa’s for dinner — I had a pizza, Wendy had a sandwich, and we split a salad. […]
Another very quiet night at home for us, cuddled together (with dogs and cats laying on and around us) watching television. This is our normal post-busy-time activity — intense doing-nothing-ness that will occupy us for a bit, then we’ll get bored and get involved with additional activities. Dinner tonight was […]
After working at my day job, I headed down to Jean-Robert at Pigall’s to work a party with Raymond in the third-floor kitchen. The atmosphere in the main kitchen was very different than when I work on Saturdays. Saturday nights are very busy at the restaurant, and everyone is extremely […]
Since I worked at Jean-Robert at Pigall’s this evening, my dinner was the remains of ‘family meal’ — barbecued chicken. It was a simple meal because the official mealtime was over, but I was grateful for the food since I was hungry! Share: Click to print (Opens in new window) […]
My restful evening was interrupted when Wendy arrived home and informed me that we had to go get a birthday present for a friend of our’s whose party we’re attending this weekend. Wendy has thrown her back out so was in considerable discomfort (that my usual bear-hug/pick-her-up couldn’t mend), so […]
Tonight’s dinner was a good one at the house — I had some cottage cheese, then I prepared a garlic duck breast, some creamed corn, and had some yogurt. Yummy! Share: Click to print (Opens in new window) Print Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new […]
Tonight, Wendy & I drove up to Columbus Ohio to have dinner with Jon & Dawn, a very nice couple we met on our most recent trip to Mexico. We met them at Cap City Fine Diner, a restaurant that Wendy adores (and which happens to be within 10 minutes […]
Today, Wendy and I attended the birthday party of the 5-year-old daughter of friends of ours. Her party this year was at PUMP IT UP, and indoor facility with lots of inflatable stuff on which adults (and the kids) can play. It was a blast! After that, we had to […]
An at-home dinner tonight as Wendy picked up from Penn Station for me (chicken teriyaki) and Skyline Chili (three-way) for herself. While waiting for Wendy, I hard-boiled some eggs in preparation for the Cauliflower Polonaise I’m making for Thanksgiving and poached an egg just for fun. Share: Click to print […]
This evening was the year’s last monthly (third-Tuesday) Wine Dinner at the Iron Horse Inn in Glendale, and the 14 people in our party sincerely enjoyed the event. Iron Horse blows it out a bit for the last wine dinner of the year — it’s a sparkling wine dinner, and this […]
Currently reading The Reach of a Chef by fellow-Ohioan Michael Ruhlman. I’ve read the others in this series, The Making of a Chef and The Soul of a Chef, and enjoyed them both. When I saw this new book in the bookstore, it was an instant buy. Next, I may […]
Today was Wendy’s day off from work and I got out of the office at 3:00pm (thanks to the administration for letting us go early!), so we had some time at home this evening. Wendy spent most of her time working on a Thanksgiving cake she’s making for tomorrow, and […]
Like most Americans, we celebrated Thanksgiving today. We were fortunate enough to be Wendy’s family for Thanksgiving, and my parents came along as well. We enjoyed the standard Thanksgiving fare: turkey, dressing, gravy, rolls, salad, sweet potato casserole, cauliflower, green beans, cranberry sauce, and more. It was a fine evening […]
I had today off as part of University of Cincinnati’s Thanksgiving holiday. I got up around 8:00am and worked on a few things (emails, inquiries, adding a feature or two to the Over The Rhine site, etc). I was out the door by 11:30am, expecting mobs of people participating in […]
I worked prep at Jean-Robert at Pigall’s this afternoon, spending time helping out wherever I was useful. My most useful contribution today was that I made a ton of ravioli (brunoise of squash, shrimp, mushroom, and greens) pretty much from start to finish. Also, I hadn’t seen Jean-Robert since they gave […]
Today we bagged the leaves that Wendy raked up yesterday. We bagged and bagged — over 30 bags (each with a capacity of 39 gallons) of leaves. Oh my aching back. But our yard looks much better, and our neighbors (who take more pride in their yard than we do […]
Another at-home evening tonight, and it was very nice. Dinner was simple — food we had on hand. I had some ravioli, yogurt, and an orange. Share: Click to print (Opens in new window) Print Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Click to […]
Tonight was Wendy’s early night off of work, so she got home around 7:00pm. I’d been home since about 5:30, reading over the Only Revolutions website & forums. Mark Z. Danielewski is one tripped-out author — he’s the same guy that wrote the mammoth House of Leaves, a 700+ page […]
Take half a loaf of decent (though a day or two old) French bread. Slice it down the middle and open it flat. Saute some minced fresh garlic in (too much) butter until it’s nicely aromatic. Pour the butter over the french bread, top with Mozzarella, Cheddar, Provolone, and Parmesan […]
