It was really beautiful out today, so we hunted down a restaurant with a great patio. It just happened to be Salut on Grand Avenue. Recently reviewed in the Star Tribune, Salut just opened on Grand. The first location opened a couple years ago in Edina and have done steady business since. St. Paul, specifically [...]

After we went to the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Star Wars Exhibit with some friends, we ran up the hill to W.A. Frost for dinner. We had been there just a couple weeks ago and I just love their patio. It’s wooded and has a lot of character. The main patio was booked, [...]

Fish in Foil on the Grill

Posted in Cooking, Edible Resources, Recipes, Uncategorized, tagged , , , on June 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »

A few times each week I ask Husband what he wants for dinner. His usual response is, “Something quick,” or “Whatever you want.” I asked him today and he recommended fish wrapped in foil cooked on the grill. Now that’s a good idea. I called Kim who is my go-to-gal on cooking, and she said [...]

A Guest Post: Cafe Agri

Posted in Blogs, Minneapolis, Restaurants, Twin Cities, tagged , , on June 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I heard about a new restaurant recently, and after checking out their website, realized I need a bit more meat and/or dairy that they offer. But Jen, from Painted Fish Studio, is a vegetarian, and she was generous enough to try it out and offer the following review. Enjoy! (Oh, and I love the logo).

You’ll notice a new image off to the right there. Yep, I joined a swap. This is my first swap and I’m very excited to be participating. It means I’ll have to do more than cook and eat. I might have to learn to sew, which is great because I just picked up my grandmother’s [...]

Pink Salt, Gray Salt, Chardonnay Salt?

A friend got married a few weeks ago, and as a wedding gift I gave them this beautiful salt box from Crate and Barrel. I have the same one, but I found mine at The Chefs Gallery in Stillwater last summer. I love the simple design and it keeps my salt within arms reach. Oh, [...]

The Tanpopp Noodle Shop is this great little Asian restaurant in the lowertown part of downtown St. Paul. I’ve walked by it a gazillion times on the way to the St. Paul Farmers Market and Jen has been talking it up for quite some time. Finally, after walking by it again last weekend, I made [...]

A Paprika Puzzle

Posted in Cooking, Edible Resources, tagged , on June 13, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I received an email this morning from my mother-in-law with these questions:
Also, do you have any smoked paprika? I’ve never heard of it but what do I know?
Now, she’s a very bright woman and she brought up a darn good question, so I went digging and learned a little something.

A quick search led to this [...]
