Perfect little pea-sized (and smaller) champagne grapes from… Kroger! I’m usually not a fan of Kroger’s produce. But, these lovely little grapes were a pleasant surprise. These little beauties dress up any cheese platter. Syrupy sweet innards with tart skins, they’re fun to nibble. The ratio of skin to flesh prevent the […]

Yellow Grape & Sweet 100

Spring Dosa
The spring dosa rolled with cabbage, carrots, pureed potato and other vegetables was the standout highlight of the meal. The vegetables were cooked thoroughly, but, maintained a bit of much-needed crunch to compliment the puree of spiced potatoes. This dish perfectly illustrates how easy it would be to be a […]
Salmon Sandwich: Fresh, tasty, and perfectly cooked.
The salmon was perfectly cooked, but, came on a rather wimpy hamburger bun. Even so, the bun was perfectly fresh, toasted and my honey loved it.
The winner of the day: Spicy Shrimp in a baguette… Can you see my sandwich in the […]
