A Feast for Fifty: Tim’s Birthday Celebration

My dad turned the big 5-0 last week, and to celebrate, we made a meal fit for a king to share with our family and friends. Take a look at the pics! You’re going to be envious.

Everything was enjoyed with some wonderful bottles of wine and, of course, a some fine Scotch.

Obsession: Trader Joe's Many Clove Garlic Cooking and Simmer Sauce

I live for my shopping day at Trader Joe's. It's probably the most exciting part of my week.

I always go on my day off, and it's about a mile walk from my apartment. On the nice days, I'll walk all the way there instead of taking the L. It feels like a ritual for me, and I feel so fulfilled after I come home with those brown TJ bags full of fresh produce, meat, and always a few impulse buys that I am eager to try.
