Good Eats ~ Two Brothers

Having a blast on vacation! We're in Ludlow VT and got a chance to revisit one of our favorite resty's in Middlebury last night. Two Brothers is a 5 star in my book! These are the Tapas we ordered pre dinner. Bruschetta, Crab Rangoon, and Roasted Garlic Meatball! Delic!

Good Eats ~ Spring Stir-Fry in Peanut Sauce

Who says you can only eat this in Spring! Today we called it Summer Stir-Fry and it was delish. I love when the Mrs.'s comes home with a plan, esp if it's from Kraft and most esp if it is, or is somehow related to ASIAN food!! SO often I think, "If I was on death row...Yeah it would definitely be an ASIAN meal for my final". Don't ask why I think about being on death row or how I'm going to get there. For now I'll just enjoy frequenting my favorite MSG free establishments! MMM...Orange Chicken with white rice and a side of Crab Rangoon please! In an effort to not be selfish, I'll let ya in on this recipe. HERE BTW, This peanut sauce is to die for! Maybe even on death row. Have a great Friday friends.

Good Eats ~ Spring Grilling

So what'd you do when it hits 50° outside, sunny, and you call NY home? YOU EMBRACE SPRING! Needless to say, we have. I've now been out tramping for the past 6 days. Today while discussing dinner the option for Rodeo Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries came about. After being shot down for Chinese (I would have this ethnic meal four times a day), GRILLING was next on the list. Here we put a vegetarian spin on a meaty favorite. So to apease the vegetarian...we call on Morningstar Black Bean Burgers as our base. After a brief baste of sweet and spicy BBQ sauce, Cabot cheddar cheese, and caramelized onions, who cares! It's delicious! I can't forget to mention the homemade ranch dipping sauce for the fries. I'm delighted that Springs here and can't wait to get the Char-Broil out again.

Good Eats ~ A Greek Lunch

Today I was in the mood for a little greek for lunch. I've been on a couscous kick lately. This is a great combination. Couscous, Chick Peas, Basil, Feta Cheese, and a little Olive Oil.I'm imagining a little Pita bread on the side wouldn't have hurt either.

Good Eats ~ Earls Fruit Jar Drinkers

It was a cold blustery Thursday. We were driving around in the country, on a mission to pick up a craigslist find... a Wardrobe. Wardrobes don't excite me, but, Fried Chicken sure does. The famous Earls lay in wait on our route. You must experience this place. It is a mix between a diner, a bakery, a museum, and a Ripley's Believe It or Not! With tables supported by what looks to be the amputated legs of Earl and some of the best home cookin' I've had since my migration north, how can you go wrong! The food was great and the pie's, delicious. Never did figure out what a "Fruit Jar Drinker" was but ... anyone wanna go? Here are a few fav's from this experience. P.S. The mannequin watches while you enjoy your dinner.

Two Vine ~ Nine Years

SO yesterday marked our 9th year of marriage and it was an awesome day. I truly am blessed with the most amazing wife. We had a great day together and our dinner was delicious! Here we have a Chickpea Pasta with Mushrooms and Steak Frites (European for French Fries) served with a chili tomato sauce. I think we both gave 2 Vine two thumbs up and are already suggesting it to others.
