Roasted Autumn Vegetables

September 30, 2018September 30, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ 1 Comment

We're seeing lots of squash, carrots and beets coming in at our local farm stands. Laura's mom had some frozen beef tenderloin, so I decided to roast everything together. I began a day before by creating a rub for the tenderloin out of smashed garlic and rosemary. This I rubbed all over the meat and … Continue reading Roasted Autumn Vegetables

Went for a walk and picked up a dog

September 29, 2018 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

James and I went for a walk this afternoon just to beef up our steps for the day. We decided we needed to walk at least a mile, so a walk into town was perfect. It's been a beautiful day;  temps in mid seventies, no humidity, and a little breeze. James suggests we visit the … Continue reading Went for a walk and picked up a dog

Elote on a campfire

It came up a few times with my friends in Southern California. There you can buy this wonderful stuff called Elote from street side carts. It's a type of corn treat made in Mexico and California where they grill the corn covered in delicious toppings like chili powder, mayonnaise, sour cream and other great stuff. … Continue reading Elote on a campfire

Wisconsin Cooking: Roasted Tomato Salad

September 18, 2018 ~ James Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Mom and I have been trying really hard to stay active lately. This means walking when we could drive whenever possible. One of these trips took us by our wonderful neighbors Bill and Cindy in Wisconsin when Bill happened to be harvesting from his garden. He had more vegetables than he knew what to do … Continue reading Wisconsin Cooking: Roasted Tomato Salad

Today I Screwed Up

September 17, 2018September 17, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

Actually last night. I asked Laura to bake me an apple pie. She does a really great one where she cooks the apples separately from the crust. Then combines the filling and the crust and bakes them together. This insures that the apples and the crust are both done perfectly. Up here in Wisconsin we … Continue reading Today I Screwed Up

Angelina Restaurant, Green Bay, WI

September 15, 2018 ~ Laura Kirkley ~ Leave a comment

We went here after we picked James up from the airport in Green Bay. James said he has not been able to find a decent Italian restaurant in Portland... who would have thunk it. We searched Yelp and found this place, which was the highest rated Italian spot in Green Bay. Food was really nice, … Continue reading Angelina Restaurant, Green Bay, WI

Sour Cream Pancakes

September 13, 2018September 13, 2018 ~ Jim Kirkley ~ 2 Comments

James is here with us in Wisconsin, so I thought I would make a special breakfast for him to enjoy. First I cut up some nice Granny Smith apples and added them to a frying pan with some butter, sugar and cinnamon. Let the cook down and caramelize a bit. Made some bacon. Then I … Continue reading Sour Cream Pancakes

Hard to describe how much they love the Packers here in Wisconsin.
