Sometimes simple is good. I didn't really feel like cooking, so I just took some sliced turkey breast and havarti cheese, put it on multigrain bread, and put it under the broiler for a few minutes. Slathered it with Bewitching Balsamic Mustard. Baby carrots with ranch for dipping on the side. It's unbelievable how delicious something so simple can be! Tomorrow I'm making Butter Soup from my Oma's recipe. I went into the Mennonite Bakery this afternoon to buy a treat for Liam, and got this incredible craving for Butter Soup. Not really the right weather for it, but I can't wait! |

Teriyaki steak brochettes, salad, orange honeydew melon. But for some strange reason, I'm in the mood for fish. Maybe I'll grill a couple of haddock fillets or something. What is butter soup?

I'm sick of everything I have here, and fighting the urge to go out to Panera and get one of those 800-calorie Portabello and Mozzarella grilled sandwiches. YUM. |

Butter Soup is one of those things that I think you can only appreciate if your Oma made it for you when you were small It's a soup that she used to make when they came here from Germany and had no money.Basically, you boil potatoes and onions in water with a couple bay leaves, lots of salt and pepper, and a knob of butter (which you can actually leave out if times are really tight. Tee hee.) When the potatoes are cooked, you make spaetzel (probably spelled incorrectly) from flour and eggs (and some salt). I cut the spaetzel into the soup while pouring it from a bowl. When the spaetzel is cooked, you add about a half cup of half-and-half cream and heat through. That's it. It's actually better the next day, though delicious immediately after making as well. It's just a very simple comfort food. |

I like my cow pretty moooey off the grill too. Tonight? Who knows. I hate being in a hotel this time of year when all the local produce is in, and I can't cook in my own kitchen. Dang. Other people live to go out. I live to cook at home. |

I ended up going back to Paprikash, the Hungarian place, tonight, because it was pretty close to the piano store, and I did not get out of there until after 8. Had to get something fast. Once again it was splendid. I had some sort of red cabbage salads, simple, cold and very flavorful. Some spice I could not put my finger on.. it was great. Maybe just a wee hint of cardomom. Then a melt-in-your-mouth tender pork loin in a lovely mushroom sauce, with nodelki (read spaetzle). Yum. |

"Martin & Weyrich 2001 Edna Valley Chardonnay." They're located in Paso Robles, although your bottle was obviously grown near Santa Barbara. They used to be called Martin Brothers and they specialize in Italian varietals. Good Nebbiolo, Sangeovese, and a nice made for the beach, Pismo Beach that is, Muscat cannali. We always stop there and a couple of other places on our way to the beach. |

The Weyrichs are friends -- they sent us a mixed case for our wedding, and the Edna Valley is part of that trove. ![]() I love their Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, and their Muscato make a nice dessert wine. All of their wines seem to have wonderful layers of complexity. It's cool that you know of them! |
