In the last year I realized that I write a lot about food. I do love to eat, doesn’t everyone? Well, Hubby says that not everyone loves to eat as much as I do.
Now surely there are people out there who enjoy a good ice cream? I had the best ice cream Sundae, in Berlin two years ago. It was so good! It was also Hubby’s birthday. You will notice that while everyone was having a healthful fruit Sundae, mine was chocolate! The next day Miss Greta came into our life.
I am not above making cupcakes for the pups on their birthdays. This was Fritz’s birthday last summer. You will notice that, although Shubi was not in good health then, she managed to jump up and attempt to snatch the cupcake away from her big brother.
I do, in fact, celebrate each of my fur children’s birthdays. Each gets a cupcake, and maybe a special meal and oh yes, a candle on the cupcake!
Living in New England, I often cook Lobster. It is one of my favorite meals. One time Hubby and his college roommate were away fishing. The night before he was to return I bought myself a 2 pound Lobster just for me. An hour before I was to cook that big boy, they called and said they were almost home and would be here for dinner! Do you know how difficult it was to find two other big Lobsters on short notice? In fact I could only get 2 one and one half pound Lobsters and my cover was blown!
I recently learned to make Baked French Onion Soup. It is now one of my signature dishes. I made it the other day and that was dinner. Both Hubby and I could live on the stuff!
This is tonight’s meal. Wiener Schnitzel, Asparagus and Potato Croquettes. Not bad for a first attempt. I still feel that I am missing a spice in the schnitzel breading.
Last but not least, I try to go to my favorite restaurant Canoe a couple of times a year for my favorite meal. A Jumbo Lobster Roll, Sweet Potato Fries and the most wonderful Dill Pickle!
I know I have made you all hungry, but it is the start of a holiday weekend and I wanted you primed to enjoy it. After all, here in America the Fourth of July is usually celebrated with a barbecue. I know that’s what we’ll be doing. In fact I bought Hubby a new charcoal barbecue grill for Father’s Day just so I know that for one day this year, he’ll be doing the cooking!
Hmmm do you have the recipe for the Wiener Schnitzel. Ever since I was in Germany I wanted to make it! My German professor in college had us over every once in a while and would make it and oooo it was the best. Tasted like it came from Germany! Your posts always make me hungry though!
awesome, you can sit with us and talk 🙂
You are right! I am hungry now!
Well, yes…you HAVE done it!!
I’d love to know the secret of your onion soup.

I’d also love the recipe for the French Onion Soup. I promise that whenever I serve it, I’ll tell everyone the recipe is from my lovely friend Maribeth.
Aside from the photos looking delicious (and I hate lobster) and making me hungry…I just gotta say that you look amazing having your picture taken. The camera really agrees with you! (I know that came out of left field, but I wanted to say it anyway)
Hey…I’m RAV E NOUS thankyouverymuch.
I miss Lobster. My all time fav place is on Bailey’s Island in Maine just outside Brunswick. It’s called Cook’s Lobster House and has been on two commercials. One for a credit card and one for a car.
Hmmm whole belly clams. :0[
Have a fab and delicious weekend! Pam
