Maple Dijion Roasted Chicken with Fat Tire Gravy

Thank the heavens, spring had finally reared its head out from a snow drift. The sky was blue, and it broke 70° yesterday. I’m still in shock, but also thankful – the winter blues were seriously putting a hinderance on my ability to be human. In my opinion chicken fits into all four seasons of … Continue reading →

Inn on the Sound’s Granola… sort of..

In the spirit of a new found commitment to posting, here is more food. My favorite granola, and because cereal is expensive I decided to make my own.   This is a Ina Garten recipe tweaked by my Aunt Janet and loved by all guests that visit the Inn on the Sound. I’ve tweaked it … Continue reading →

Birthdays, they can be a crap shoot. I spent #25 in Naples, Italy, that was pretty glorious picking oranges off of trees for instant consumption, crossing off ‘seeing the “ash people” of Pompeii’ from my list of life goals. #26 was spent with the terrible hangover, traveling by train from New York to Boston, and … Continue reading →

Orzo with Leeks and Chevre

Late Winter Short Ribs.

That’s right, I am back in Ohio. Dammit. Just kidding! We are up on Lake Erie in Vermilion, Ohio – just under an hour west of Cleveland. A different type of water front view from Falmouth Heights, but still in water view.. well ice view at the moment. Even with the lake effect, I’m probably … Continue reading →

As far as Augusts Go.

With a sigh of relief, I am happy to say that the Falmouth Road Race is over and done. I’m now free to drive the streets of Falmouth without shouting expletives and flailing at unsuspecting tourists. In a month, we’ll actually be able to go to a restaurant on a Saturday, such is the life … Continue reading →

Lavender Pound Cake

In the spirit of making up for lost time, here is another post not even twenty four hours since the last one. Motivation! Not to mention I have cake on the brain these days. I’ve been baking for the Inn three or four times a week, splitting sweet treat duties with Elizeth; both of us … Continue reading →

Long Time No Type

Amidst a summer of long hours and online shopping I have seriously neglected this project of which I was so fond. Uhhg. Even so, it’s been a great summer; one of the best aspects has been getting to know our seasonal staff. This year we have four students that are here working in the States … Continue reading →

Well Shit.

So, I haven’t posted in almost two months. I would apologize, but these two months were filled with more than adequate excuses. I feel as though I have lived five years in five months. A serious kick in the ass from life. So far, I’ve learned never to trust people who give compliments to eagerly, … Continue reading →
