While cooking and recipes are the bread and butter on Kitchy (no pun intended), every so often I’ll go out for an afternoon or evening that’s just about having fun with my fellow cooks and food bloggers. Last Monday was just one of those nights. The guys from Sorted Food decided that after a couple… Continue reading A Night with SORTED Food
Pink Gin
Today is the first of May. Whenever May comes around all I can think about is that nursery rhyme we all learned in elementary school: “April showers bring May flowers”. That’s why I love this season; all the flowers start blooming and there are all those vibrant, beautiful colors that come with them. There are… Continue reading Pink Gin
Earl Grey-Crusted Pork Loin with Fennel and Apples
I love tea. I’ve been drinking it since I was a child. I used to take it the way the English do, with milk and honey. But somewhere along the way I forwent the milk, and now I just drink it with honey. Sure I’ll add stuff to it every so often like lemon or… Continue reading Earl Grey-Crusted Pork Loin with Fennel and Apples
Monte Carlo
Since I just finished giving you a tour of Kentucky, I thought I’d bring you a cocktail that’s made with rye. I know that Kentucky is the bourbon capital of the world, but plenty of the distilleries also make rye: Woodford, Bulleit, Wild Turkey… they all have rye. Rye may not be bourbon, but they’re… Continue reading Monte Carlo
A Visit to Kentucky – Where to Stay
One more post on Kentucky then Kitchy will go back to recipes and cocktails… I promise. But if you’re going to Kentucky for the Derby, you’re going to need a place to stay, right? While you could stay at a very nice, fancy hotel, Hubs and I prefer Bed & Breakfasts. We’ve always liked them… Continue reading A Visit to Kentucky – Where to Stay
A Visit to Kentucky – Restaurants
Since I gave you a tour of the distilleries last week, today I’m going to continue with some of the best restaurants around the state. The first is actually in Louisville, and it’s one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Where is this amazing place? It’s 610 Magnolia, named after its address in the… Continue reading A Visit to Kentucky – Restaurants
A Visit to Kentucky – the Distilleries
A few months ago Hubs and I took a nice trip to Kentucky for our anniversary. As you all know we’re big bourbon fans and we wanted to do the Bourbon Trail, so off we went. Since the Kentucky Derby is only a few weeks away, I thought I’d share the best places to go… Continue reading A Visit to Kentucky – the Distilleries
Barware
Spring is officially here. The sun is shining, the days are longer, there are bright green leaves on the trees and flowers are starting to bloom. It’s the perfect time to pull out those bright Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts, frilly summer dresses and strappy sandals. But all that outdoor wear can’t go to waste. Now… Continue reading Barware
Cinnamon Macaroons Dipped in Chocolate
As I’m sure all of you know there are two big holidays this weekend. The first is Passover on Friday and the second is Easter, and if you’re anything like me, you’re going to be doing a lot of cooking over the next few days. Menus need to be planned, ingredients need to be chopped… Continue reading Cinnamon Macaroons Dipped in Chocolate
Monkey Gland
Don’t worry, I haven’t suddenly gone modern with my cocktails. I take my classics very seriously. As you know, I refuse to post a cocktail that was created after 1960. (Okay, I know I did the Godfather, but that was just one drink out of several dozen.) So, you must believe me when I tell… Continue reading Monkey Gland
Spiced Lamb Kabobs
I know the standard choice for Easter is usually a leg of lamb or ham but I thought I’d spice things up this year (no pun intended) and give you some kabobs. I know kabobs aren’t as formal as a nice leg of lamb or spiral-cut ham, but they’re a great choice if you’re having… Continue reading Spiced Lamb Kabobs
