Last made I all-night chili and today will grill some burgers for our Memorial Day festivities.

Friday, we traveled to Greensboro for an overnight (just 40 mins from home) to see a concert that night w/ Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers, plus Edie Brickell - stayed at one of our favorite hotels in the Triad, i.e. O'Henry Hotel which has the Green Valley Grill attached, our early dinner choice.

Dinner entrees come w/ a house salad w/ seasonal greens (always crisp & and a nice mix).  Susan had the Moroccan Scallop dish over risotto & some veggies; I had the 'catch of the day', a wonderfully grilled thick piece of Swordfish over a smoky flavored polenta & nicely steamed crunchy broccoli - along w/ a couple glasses of a 'house' Chablis (i.e. the real thing from France) which was surprisingly tasty.

We shared a dessert called the Nutty Irishman - a cake w/ alternating layers of chocolate cake & frozen Irish Bailey's Cream mousse, drizzled w/ dark chocolate sauce and covered w/ a crunchy mixture of nuts & toffee - the ONLY dessert that I insist on sharing equally w/ my wife -    Dave

Cheers, Bill, and happy Friday! We picked up a jar of a local orchard's boysenberry jam last week, and it is a minor miracle that the jar has not yet been finished

Last night, tried a new restaurant and simply had to try the weirdest item on the menu: pasta with beef brisket, butternut squash, and blue cheese. It was a delight!

A fairly simple, but delicious lunch.  Bok choy fried in olive oil, fresh garlic, and a dried and crushed super chili from last year's pepper garden.  Add milled sea salt and black pepper.  On the side, one and half ounces of aged gouda and a bowl of fresh raspberries for dessert.



This year's pepper garden as planted by our daughter.  She planted 12 or so different varieties.  Most will be ready in August.





I am about to take last year's dried and grind the different peppers together and put them into a shaker.  At least for me, I do not need to add much.

I mostly eat salads and desert . I don't eat fast food . I don't like .

Sarge et. al. - my quest for a white wine I can really love continues. Today, bought my first two bottles of Grüner Veltliner, hearing that it's a nice dry white without being overladen with citrus tones. Gonna serve up the first bottle tonight with turkey-black bean-spinach enchiladas; I'm out of beer and the info sheet at the wine shop said "pairs well with Southwestern cuisine."

Well the turkey, black bean, spinach, tomato enchiladas were delicious (healthy dollop of cumin in those), topped with chipotle sauce and cheese... and the wine was fantastically smooth. Went great with the meal, although the food might have been a little too spicy for it. Grüner Veltliner and I are going to get along very, very well.
