Just one of the many things I love about living on the East Coast…the beauty of the light in between thunderstorms.

Weekend Grilling

April 16, 2016

Now That I Have These Beautiful Butcher Shop Steaks I Am About To Put Them On The Grill. Before I Grill Them, However, I Let Them Sit Out For 1 Hour On A Platter So That They Come To Room Temperature. I Drizzle Them With Olive Oil And Sprinkle With A Favorite All-Purpose Spice Mixture That I Created. These Are Thick Steaks So They’ll Cook On The Grill 7 To 10 Minutes Per Side.

Saturdays At The Butcher Shop

April 16, 2016

I’ve gotten spoiled and typically don’t care for the grocery store meats. They tend to be bland and tough so most Saturdays I take a trip to the butcher shop. I’ve been reading Bill Buford’s book, Heat, and when the butcher asked me what meats I wanted I thought to myself, “Hmmmm…I think I’ll eat like a Tuscan,” and then blurted out, “I’ll have those two large delicious looking T-Bones!” Life is so much better with a good butcher nearby.

Mr. Fox

November 24, 2015

I’ve been meaning to take a photograph of this fox in the tree for about 3 years. He’s on a winding road to Shakespeare’s Garden and it’s difficult to pull over in order to take a photo. Sunday afternoon I was finally able to pull over. When I stopped the car I stepped out onto a carpet of acorns and was able to get close enough to Mr. Fox to say, “hello there I’ve been wanting to meet you for a few years now.”
