I will eventually get back to some healthy low-point main courses or side dishes, but for now, having fun with these delicious autumn treats! This pumpkin cake is probably one of my favorites. That means I have to be careful because even though it’s a …
The incredible storm system that created weather warnings over more than half of the 50 states created its own local havoc in the Fredericksburg area today. Even as I write this another tornado warning is underway for King George County, but it’s…

For Matt’s 33rd birthday he requested I make lobster rolls from Thomas Keller’s (of Bouchon & French Laundry fame) lobster rolls from the Ad Hoc cookbook. I was a little leery at first because while I admire Keller’s precision and formidable skills his recipes seem a bit unnecessarily complicated. Turns out it was no big deal. The work is all in the prep (hello picking 5 lobsters) and then assembly. Plus you end up with tons of shells to make stock for a winter fish stew.
Matt brought a gorgeous Champagne that has a great balance between dry and citrusy and bready, toasty notes. Larmandier-Bernier ‘Terre de Vertus’ NV is a naturally made, grower Champagne that retails for $78.99. It is a Brut Nature Blanc de Blanc which means no sugar was added during fermentation (also called dosage this is a common practice for many Champagnes, some more than others) and it was made from all Chardonnay grapes. The result is a superb wine that reminded me why Champagne is so special.
Quite simply, it all rocked.

I was sitting in Stafford General District Court today when the judge called a case for “being a pedestrian on the interstate.” I honestly had never seen a case regarding that statute, so I was quite interested to hear what happened. The Trooper testified that he saw two young ladies on foot in the middle […]

“Prayers for Peace is an introspective journey, through the heart and soul of a difficult experience, and the artist’s conclusion proves very different from his original hypothesis.” ~Dustin Grella Dustin Grella is a talented director/animator. He is also a hard man to pin down. I have wanted to talk to him further about his […]
