Some days feel surreal. A recent Saturday was one such day. After a fabulous breakfast at a diner in Portsmouth, NH, a meeting, a quick stop by home, and a 5-hour car ride, I found myself having a very late lunch/pre-dinner snack at Pershing Square in Manhattan. Of course, surreal doesn't mean anything about the trip was bad. I mean, how bad can a combination work/fun trip to NYC be? Based on my experience, not bad at all.
We arrived at Pershing Square about 4:00. As it was between meals, the restaurant was fairly quiet, and the bar was
Grilled Pineapple Salad
by TT June 28th, 2010 | Recipes, Salads
Warm weather arrives in New England, and we become excited to cook outdoors. Of course, there is the typical fare of hamburgers and hot dogs to please the palate, but a little variety makes grilling so much more enjoyable.
This past Saturday we decided to try our hands at more interesting grilled food. Instead of hamburgers, we made buffalo chicken burgers with blue cheese sauce. In place of coleslaw or pasta salad, we opted to give a grilled salad a try. Like most salads, it is best made early and allowed to sit in the refrigerator to chill and allow flavors

Review: Roundabout Diner & Lounge, Portsmouth, NH
by TT June 21st, 2010 | Restaurant Reviews
My husband and I traveled to Portsmouth this past weekend for a Saturday meeting. While we could have driven there that morning, we made a last minute decision to head out the night before. What better way to spend a hot summer night, then walk the downtown of a coastal city and enjoy some good food and music? Unfortunately, the food was lackluster, but the music was great.
The next morning we didn't have time for a slow, decadent breakfast, or so we thought. Our hotel offerings were less than desirable, so we opted to find something on the way

Roasted Beets
by TT June 18th, 2010 | Recipes, Side Dishes
Last week I wrote about my Beet & Orange Salad, which I thought was quite delicious. However, I have to admit that I didn't always feel that way about beets. When I was a kid, I turned up my nose at the offer of any sort of cooked beets. I don't think I ever tried one, I just guessed that they must taste pretty bad.
Fast forward a few years to a dinner at a restaurant where I chose a salad that had beets on it. The other ingredients looked so tempting, I decided that it was worth eating beets.
