Milwaukee WI.
We stopped at Riptide tonight for dinner. My dad came into town for the weekend and misses our great Milwaukee fish fries. We’ve never been to Riptide, a restaurant on the river in the Third Ward. To our surprise, it was more of a casual restaurant than originally anticipated. Service was great…food was decent…noise was

Butternut Squash - Pasta.
Tonight is the first weeknight after daylight savings time began. It was nice coming home to the sun beating into the house. It reminded me that I don’t have to work from dusk to dawn all year long! For dinner, I pulled out the other half of a homemade dinner I made several weeks ago.

Chicken - soup.
After a nice long drive along Lake Michigan this afternoon, we got home around 6:00PM. Thank you Daylight Savings Time!!! I had bought a couple of chickens at Pick ‘n Save yesterday.

Chicken Thighs - Jewish - Sephardic.
What’s on the docket for tomorrow night? A Sephardic dish that is similar to one I made several years ago. This sweet and sour dish is reminiscent of Middle Eastern and African dishes I’ve had. This is no coincidence. Sephardic Jews (yes, this is somewhat of a Jewish dish) lived in the Mediterranean in Spain,

Curry - Shrimp.
Soba noodles, shrimp, lots of fresh vegetables in my crisper…What was I to eat for dinner tonight? I decided to create a curry of sorts. I was in the mood for an “eastern” meal and wanted to incorporate as many veggies in as possible. I’ve been doing so well over the past few weeks with
