Mister B at Mickey's

Open 24 hours, the joint is on the National Historic Register... way cool to watch a 'short order cook' work his artistry. No wasted motions, a dozen or so orders, no sweat and an appreciative audience!

Fajita!

Ole!



Off to Minnesota in the AM! Pics, of course, to follow...

Salmon

Getting his grill on... Sunday night dinner for Barry.

steak and tater

Nothing is better than grilling in the rain!

Tennis...

So, I hoofed it down to LaSalle street, to the old SportMart and even older Morrie Mages and snagged two spiffy racquets and a six pack of balls.

Barry and I don't really play, but we do have courts right across the street and if we just hit the ball back and forth we should get some exercise in...

JP!

My pal JP came to town and we hung out for the afternoon.

After the seafood, dessert

The seafood pasta thing....

Fruit de mer

Guess what Barry is gonna have for din din ?

One bad apple....ur, egg

Not surprisingly, the other eggs soon developed attitudes....

I cooked for Barry

Stuffed chicken, grilled on the Weber...

The saddest of all eggs... (hard boiled division)

Sometimes, I feel like Ike Turner...

I make pasta!

Chicken manicotti

An appetizer

Roast pork ravioli with a tangy cheese sauce...

Barry awards the diploma...

me and mom

Graduation 2007

Two sassy tomatoes...

Mister Barry! (or a sassy tomato!)

me vs the tampon people

A fantastic evening...
We hit that new "coal burning" pizza place on Grand!

Quite good! Reminded me of "The Two Amy's" in DC...

Glad to be a Grad....

I'm a doctor size 4... who knew?

Please stick a fork in me...

It's getting closer...
I really need a three day coma...

Fajita

The fajitas...

The drudge...

One of three papers officially turned in!
If all goes well, the second will be e-mailed away.
Which leaves me with finishing up the third and most painful one.... c'est la vie.

In food news: I have a roast on the rotisserie lazily spinning 'neath an indirect heat. We'll slice it up for sammies and salads the rest of the week. Tonight FAJITAS!

Ravioli Part Deux

So, this is what they looked like.... a little sloppy, I'll admit, but I was kinda, sorta watching the Bull's game!

Making Ravioli

I struggle to finish the papers that are due on Friday in order for me to graduate on Sunday. So, to take a breather, I made some pasta and a filling of chicken, garlic, shallots, basil and sundried tomatoes.

When Barry gets home, I'll roll out the pasta and turn it into ravioli.... and then back to the damn papers!

Welcome

Hello World!
