An Open Letter To All Things Casein-
I’m breaking up with you for good, and no- this will not be an on-again, off-again deal. We’re done. I have loved you and been faithful to you and yet lately you have given me nothing but heartbreak.
You have become unfaithful to me. I trusted you for so many [...]

Millet Salad with Corn and Pepper

Posted in For the Love of Food, Recipes, tagged , , on May 27, 2008 | 7 Comments »

I’m going crazy about grain, but this is a very good thing as opposed to going nuts for something like deep fried cheese curds, washed down with a diet soda (with Splenda!) and tackling a mountain of ice cream slathered in hot fudge for dessert.
Ahhh….no.
Ok, well I admit to a little frozen yogurt action but [...]

But first, a look at the colors of Springtime in Minnesota. And yes, it was as beautiful as it looks.

Everyone loves sandwiches

Posted in For the Love of Food, tagged , on May 19, 2008 | 7 Comments »

Although it is widely debated on whether or not the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, truly did invent the modern sandwich, it’s more likely that any history you find on the subject will list him as only the namesake, not the inventor. Montagu apparently was quite the gambler- among other afflictions and incompetencies- and [...]

Splendid Risotto

We all know words words or phrases that instill in us a wonderful sense of joy and contentment. For my 14-year old, I think the word ‘Dinnertime!’ or the phrase ‘Steak for dinner!’ would be his top choice. I know lots of folks who would love to hear ‘Time for dessert!’ or ‘How ’bout some [...]

Painting a thousand words

Posted in For the Love of Food, tagged , , , on May 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I got a heavy dose of lentil fever this week.

It was nice [...]
