New Years brunch: steak & eggs.

Coffee rubbed venison, oven roasted tomatoes, fried eggs, and cheesy, basil polenta.

The tomte was pleased.

Needed to slow down from all the formal Christmas celebrations at family's houses. So tonight is a TV dinner of venison tenderloin, brussel sprouts with cognac apricots dressed in a mustard cream sauce, roasted potatoes, and some assorted cheeses.

Cajun inspired Thanksgiving with oyster dressing, creole seasoned turkey, gumbo gravy, mixed veggies, my classic habenero cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole.

Love the peace and quiet back home, but still reminiscing of the midwest nostalgia captured in this corn mousse at Lysée in #NYC

2026 Thanksgiving menu is finished!

Does anyone else have a holiday they like to obsess over?

One of the best cocktails I've ever had - "Up to the Mountain" from Hell or Highwater, in Louisville, KY. I'm dreaming of the mushroom and butter washed brandy.

Distance does make the heart grow fonder. Repeated separation can break it, though, if you're not careful.
