Farmer’s Market in Full Swing
Proven by this weeks haul. This is the first year we started buying fresh eggs at the market, as well as locally raised beef and pork. (beef and pork not pictured)
Pancakes Make Obama Sleepy
Whoah! Obama was on WTTW’s Check, Please! in 2001. He reviews one of our favorite Evanston restaurants, Dixie Kitchen. Although we’re excited to see the full episode (it airs on the 16th on WTTW), we have to take exception to his pancake sleepy-fear…we love those johnny-cakes, so does Wilbur.
Merry Christmas!
Here’s hoping your holiday dinner is eclipsed by the people eating it, Merry Christmas! (PS. we’re having steaks, a great gift from some friends. What are you cooking?)
Non-edible Christmas Goodies
This is clearly a food based blog. We typically write about things you can eat. Technically, you could eat this week’s topic, but you’ll probably get a tummy ache. Our friend (and first-commenter) Karin gave us the idea when she gave us a present of fresh all natural boiling potpourri. Potpourri, as a rule, smells …

We ditched our custom software for a pre-packaged blog. It frees us up to focus on what’s really important, content, rather than getting …
First Father’s Day at Smoque
Camri surprised me with a trip to Smoque for Father’s day today. It was our first time, and well worth the wait in line. Great BBQ, great atmosphere, and really friendly folks helping us to get Wil-Wil a good table to eat his Mac and Cheese at. Camri had pulled pork and shared Wil’s Mac …
Doing Our Part to Reduce Global Farting
One of our favorite chef’s is on a mission to cut down on American meat consumption. The first we saw of his campaign was a talk carried on Ted Talks: It’s an eye opening talk. Bittman advocates cutting down on meat, not vegetarianism, just cutting down. His argument is health based, but it’s also a …
