I think a squirt of lemon is de rigueur (I like that with chops, too). I used to just see Veal Milanese, here and there, on more traditional Italian menus, but then I spied a … Continue reading

This one’s for you J.!
How did I end up “at” the King Tut Drive-in? I emailed an old friend to wish him a happy birthday and asked where he was spending the winter.

A series of Friday … Continue reading
Kudos to Chambers Walk
First of all, even though my friends and I didn’t order the specials, they gave prices when they recited them. Bonus points! And there weren’t too many of them. More bonus points! We were celebrating our November birthdays a month late and Christmas a little early, so were out for a good time. Chambers Walk … Continue reading
Wings
I hadn’t thought of, much less made, buffalo wings for so long. But then I saw them on our Café menu at work. I had every intention of having them, but ended home sick that day. The thought wouldn’t leave me, however, so I bought some wings and made my own, using the recipe below. … Continue reading
