simple weekend recap: edition 14

This holiday week was spent in the country, filled with food & family time.

 

The food festivities began early with a spinach & turkey sausage pie...

 

 

 ...and then of course Thanksgiving & cinnamon buns. The day after

 Thanksgiving started with a hike with the doggies...

 

 

 

 

...before heading home past one of my favorite houses, 

to fall into bed and nap for the rest of the day.

 

The day-after Thanksgiving dinner was at one of my favorite places in New York, The American Hotel in Sharon Springs. I had the special haddock with

 deviled lobster, and took a special lobster chowder for lunch the next day.

 

 

 

After lunch, T, Erin & I headed home to reunite Erin with Moose and 

enjoy a bottle of sparkling wine by the first fire of the season...

 

 

 

while I made shrimp fra diavolo as a light & spicy dinner to balance 

out the heavy meals we had all week. (Recipe tomorrow)

 

 T leaves again tomorrow for Switzerland for the week, so I will have 

plenty of time to catch up with old friends that are visiting and 

try a few new places...before he returns with more Swiss chocolate!

simple weekend recap: edition 4

It appears as though this past weekend was filled with a bunch of seafood. Salmon, lobster, and swordfish! The salmon in a saffron curry sauce is one of my favorite dinners to make. Don't worry, I'll share the recipe later this week!

 

The weather this weekend was perfect, and Erin was able to take full advantage of the sun during a nice long hike through the park.

 

 

 

After some tasty deviled eggs, lobster was definitely due (the first of the season for us...we're so behind the times)!! To wrap up the seafood weekend, we had some of the sweetest corn from the farm down the street.

 

 

 

 

After a long weekend of seafood, some garlic chipotle pasta was much needed (quick&simple recipe later this week, too!)

 

My weekend was filled with good food & the great outdoors...pretty ideal for me!
