On Friday Night, January 1st, 2010 amidst the noise of fire crackers bouncing off our roof top (seriously), bottle rockets firing off left and right, and a few star bursts to boot, we somehow found a way to sneak in some shabbos serenity. My wife made pepper encrusted roasted chicken, a rice pilaf, along with [...]

On the last Wednesday night of 2009, my friends from out of the country swung by house for dinner. So we made one of our favorite dishes to share with them, Spaghetti alla Puttanesca. It is an awesome dish that we have made many times before, and thank goodness this time was no exception. To [...]

Normally, I reach for Sauvignon Blanc when enjoying sushi, but this time, we had some 2000 Four Gates Chardonnay in the fridge, so we enjoyed that all the same. The Ahi tuna was really quite nice, and I finally learned [...]
