A look at local food discoveries, whether it’s a particular dish or an ingredient, often with one or more recipes.
Finishing off on the whole catching up on dinners thing (I’m exhausted, I need a vacation, don’t be surprised if we shut down for a couple of weeks coming up soon). Three private dinners last week, all pretty much leaving things in our hands as to what we wanted to cook, with only a couple… Read More Starting the New Year in Private
Last year for New Year’s Eve we thought we made it pretty clear for New Year’s Eve and Day that we weren’t putting on a big party with dancing, noisemakers, etc., just a straightforward Casa S dinner with an extra champagne toast at midnight on the 31st. We also only charged a small upcharge for… Read More Ringing in the New Year
Very few photos for the monthly round-up, I was good about using them this last month. That, or maybe I just didn’t take as many. We were a lot busier at Casa S than usual, so I wasn’t out and about quite as much as normal. Early on in the month I found my passageway… Read More Glimpses of December Past
Not that the Mayans ever predicted the end of the world this last month, having only laid out the end of one in a series of “long cycles” of the calendar (amazing what people will reinterpret for their apocalyptic fantasies), but given that I’m writing this and you’re reading it, the long awaited and much… Read More 2012 Gone, Without an Apocalypse
A very short post and then back into the kitchen for our New Year’s Day dinner preparations. Last night’s NYE dinner went spectacularly well, that’ll all show up here later in the week, I think – we have private dinners pretty much the rest of the week, so we’ll see how much time I have.… Read More Post Reindeer Dinners
Still catching up, a brief post on the dinners for La Nochebuena and La Navidad… with one particularly fun new dish that I’ll be bringing back in the near future. Started the evening off with our ever popular ratatouille gallette. Slices of roasted eggplant, zucchini and tomato, each differently spiced, atop a polenta and grana… Read More The Xmas Files
As always at this time of year we’re, as “they” say, “busting our hump” with dinners left and right – both public and private events. So I may give a few of these over the next week or two some short shrift, but at least I wanted to share some food porn with you… Radishes… Read More When Life Gives You a Palometa…
It’s going on two years since I wrote up my much referenced post on the local freshwater fish around here. At the time I had plans to continue on and cover the various ocean fish in the area as well, plus offer up various ways of preparing all the different catch o’ the day that… Read More Little Fish in the Ocean So Blue
