The Good & The Bad

Well, today was interesting to say the least!

It started out as a dreary, rainy day at 5:30 am.  I rolled out of bed to bring Petrie outside in the torrential rain and she was not a happy camper; my dog detests the rain.  She is a tomboy at heart, but when it comes to wet [...]

Guest Post: Mike's Pulled Pork

Hi everyone. Mike here subbing in for Jenna who has decided to attempt to tame Petrie tonight. It is not going well. Hope you all are having a good week. As I don’t think Jenna has mentioned, I am currently enjoying another day of what has amounted to a month off this summer. I am [...]

Over the Hump

Today.was.rough.  I’m so glad to be over the hump. There is no sugarcoating the fact that I felt like death the whole day.  Thanks Gaga, I have you to blame.

Brave Souls

Remember how I told you a few weeks ago that our new apartment offers cooking classes about once a month?  Well, last night was the first cooking class scheduled since we have moved in.  Lucky for us, the theme was one of our favorites, oysters!

I kid, I kid.  The cooking class/sampling indeed was oysters, but [...]

Whirlwind

Life these past few weeks has been a whirlwind. We are so busy! I thought  this week was going to be pretty low key, but it is turning out to be just as busy, maybe even busier than the last!

Last night we enjoyed dinner at a local sushi restaurant with Mike’s sister and brother-in-law. [...]

Multi Season Meal

Happy Sunday evening everyone!  Is it just me, or did the weekend absolutely FLY by?  I feel like it was Friday night, ohh, about 10 minutes ago?  I think that means that it was an exceptional weekend, although I wouldn’t mind just one more day off.  Ah well.  Can’t win them all.

Tonight starts one of [...]

Happy Blogiversary!

One year ago today I started a little blog, Foodie in the City. 

I had been reading food blogs for about a year.  All of the big ones:  Carrots N’ Cake, Eat Live Run, Healthy Tipping Point, Kath Eats… the list goes on.

I woke up one year ago to receive a challenge from Mike… ‘Why don’t you start [...]

350 is the New 285

Without further ado, here is the glimpse into my Heritage Farmhouse Supper cooking class that I took Monday night at the Cooks of Crocus Hill.  The school has been around for 37 years, bring the best in culinary classes and a culinary store to the Twin Cities area.

Mike and I have taken a class here before [...]

Leaf Lard Anyone?

Happy Tuesday bloggies!  How is everybody doing today?  We’ve made it to Tuesday, so we can’t complain.

Last night’s cooking class got two thumbs up from Mike and myself.  I will do a full review later this week as I think a lot of the information, techniques and recipes I learned about and enjoyed [...]
