But I’ve been in the land of barbecue, eating a pulled pork sandwich a day. Vinegar-based barbecue sauce, sweet sauce, vinegared slaw. Yep, that would be Northeast Tennessee.
Beyond the usual, I also tried the German place I’ve been wanting to try for a while, Freiberg’s. It was delicious, and I’m sure to go back and have the Boulette Andreas next time I’m home. And another newbie, we tried Mona Lisa’s Gelato before I caught the bird that brought me back home. Of course there was the usual – country ham and Greg’s meatball sandwich. No Krystal this time, but I am sure I gained enough weight while there.
Tomorrow morning, I’ll share another Southern favorite that I had while there, Mom’s stickies. Stay tuned for a return to regular programming!

Sunday is farmer’s market day, and it’s also football day. A quick bike ride in the morning can yield us veggies for the first half of the week, as well as breakfast and lunch. Case in point – 2 dozen oysters and a baguette. Make quick work of the shucking, and brunch is served for those 10 am kickoffs.

Sometimes a girl just feels the need for some comfort food. Sweet comfort food. While it might be disastrous for my waist line to keep chocolate chips in the house, I’m pretty sure it helps my mental state.

The dough comes out nice and stiff, so you can easily grab a palmful of it, plunk it on the cookie sheet, and have 12 of these fellas in no time. (more…)

And lunch, and dinner… But that’s because it is just so yummy. A friend of my husband’s passed this recipe along to me, and she’s even given me a few slices from time to time. Since I had a ton of zucchini to deal with, I thought I would make a couple of batches of this recipe and freeze most of the loaves, since bread freezes nicely.
That was the plan, but it went a little awry as we’ve snacked and nibbled our way through two and a half loaves now. This morning I finally tucked one lone loaf into the freezer for a good winter snack. (more…)
