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.

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
I had a dream. A dream of pizzas. And the 92 bus. It happened a couple of months ago, I awoke one morning from a dream where I was convinced that along the route of the 92 bus there were 92 pizzerias and the goddess of pizzas had called me to try them all. I… Read More 92 Pizzas, Stops 1 & 2
