The Giving Masala

Written by Nora on August 5, 2010 — 1 Comment

Chana Masala. Cilantro. Greek Yogurt. Whole Wheat Flat Bread. Hermann J. Wiemer 2008 Dry Riesling. It was the Chana Masala that just kept giving. And I loved every second of it. I made this last week and froze some for potential “It’s too hot to cook” nights. It froze wonderfully and so did the pre-cooked [...]

Faking It

Written by Nora on August 4, 2010 — 3 Comments

I wish I could take credit for making dinner tonight because it was beautiful and delicious. After my refrigerator incident last night I was left with two dinner options: PB&J with Salad or Really Plain Pasta. Neither sounded appealing. On my way home from work I stopped at my grocery for an emergency dinner run. [...]

Signature Dish

Written by Nora on July 31, 2010 — 3 Comments

Blueberry-Peach Crostata My dad told me: “I’ve been looking forward to this all day.” and “This is one of my all time favorite desserts.” Coming from the person I inherited my sweet tooth from…that’s kind of a big deal. If I had to pick a “signature dish”, Blueberry-Peach Crostata would probably be it. I started [...]

Second Time Around

Written by Nora on July 28, 2010 — 6 Comments

I don’t like leftovers. I know this might seem strange. Leftovers are considered a ‘Godsend’ to most because they save people  time, effort and money. I don’t disagree with this mentality, however; my strange self feels deprived of the chance to be creative in the kitchen when I have leftovers on hand. I’m not one [...]

Chana Masala

Written by Nora on July 26, 2010 — 10 Comments

I’m in love. A photo shoot trumps words tonight. So…..when I was home and had access to a real kitchen, I made Chana Masala and Whole Wheat “Flat Bread” (using purchased pizza dough). I am currently levitating. Every part of this meal was essential. The heat of the Chana Masala was eloquently balanced by the [...]

A Little Thing Called Love

Written by Nora on July 4, 2010 — 3 Comments

I have a soft spot in my heart for Finger Lakes Region Wines. But when it comes to Hermann J. Wiemer wines…it’s a little thing called love. To celebrate America’s birthday, we started off with a Hermann J. Wiemer 2008 Reserve Dry Riesling  and  Triple Creme Cheese on Table Water Crackers. (I had about 4 [...]

Let There Be Riesling

And lots of it…Saturday evening my family and I traveled to the Finger Lakes for the annual  Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard Tank/Barrel Tasting and Live Jazz event.It was such a beautiful soiree. The music was subtle and suiting. The food was exciting and fresh. And the wine was nothing short of perfection. When it comes [...]

What is a Swiss/Italian Meal?

Written by livelifeeatright on April 14, 2010 — 7 Comments

My roommate and I have two friends who LOVE to cook. We have made dinner for each other twice before, and although we  discussed a third extravaganza months ago, we were not schedule a get together until last night. When I asked them what they were cooking, they told me it was, “Swiss and Italian”, [...]
