The Thanksgiving Twofer Pie from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking, from My Home to Yours, this past week’s TWD recipe. It was a bit of a scramble to get this made, since I only got in to Chicago on the night before Thanksgiving! But […]

I was finally able to get a picture of grown-up Bruno thanks to Will and Jo visiting our parents’ house and my dad taking a picture. He still looks like a cutie! Hopefully I’ll get to meet him while they’re traveling this summer. Oh man, I want a puppy so much!

Spurred on by my conversation with Karen last night, I figured I’d finally start working on posting all the pictures and stuff from our dinner at Charlie Trotter’s, way back over Christmas break. For those of you who are not familiar with the format, Trotter’s offers two tasting menus every evening, one with meats, […]
