A week ago yesterday Aaron and I attended a wonderful dinner party with a group of dang good people. We each contributed our part of the dinner, but the main course was supplied by the fabulous hosts. They prepared a most succulent chicken spiedini with 2 pasta sides. You guys, I have not been able […]
So yesterday Aaron was one of the lucky employees in the US to have Martin Luther King Day off. As I left the house, tears filled my eyes watching as he restfully crept out of bed with an entire empty day ahead of him. “Life isn’t fair,” I sobbed. He told me to get over […]
If any of you happened to grow up with me, be my friend, be my sister, give birth to me, date me, or marry me (hi Aaron!) chances are you’ve eaten chicken dorito with me. It was a household staple in my mom’s kitchen and not a single soul was ever left hungry or unsatisfied. […]
Is it too late to eat black-eyed peas? Have I missed the boat on good fortune for the year? Is it over and done with? Should I throw in the towel? Hold up a white flag of surrender? Stop asking questions? You see, I bought some black-eyed peas for the new year, but we, uh, […]
Hi! Remember me? No? … Anyone? I’ll be back in full bloggerin’ force tomorrow night, but I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year! We have best friends in town and are enjoying every second of it. For the last meal of the year, we ate a soup of mine that I’ve posted […]
I think it’s pretty obvious, but it’s comfort food week at the Weidner abode. Is this a bad thing? Ask my waistline. Is this a good thing? Ask my husband. Moroccan Chicken with Couscous: What it takes for 4: * 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs * 2 onions, thinly sliced * 3 carrots, diced * […]
I’m pretty brain-dead right now. But I do have a few thoughts to throw out into the interwebs. 1) I got my teeth cleaned today and I feel like Giada De Laurentiis. 2) We may have ice on the way. AKA – I am never leaving my bedroom. 3) I have a cardboard cut. Did […]
What is a mojo sauce you ask? Well, I can tell you what it’s not. It doesn’t involve a dose of Austin Power’s charm or a spoon full of self-esteem or even a cup of charisma, although I’m wondering as I type this out if I’m on to something. PATENT PENDING! I said it first. […]
It’s First Friday tonight, so instead of cooking, I’ll be hanging out in our gallery at work. If you’re in the Kansas City area, come by and say hi! The art is so, SO good, you won’t believe it. Sneak peak at the artist – www.evanashby.com Here’s another older post from a few months ago, […]
We’re having leftover chili tonight, so I thought I’d post something from this summer for fun! The original post date – August 24th. *********** Yesterday a handful of great friends and I got together to get some early b-day celebrating going on. In true fashion, my darling husband came through with the best, most fitting […]
