Hunger Habit: February 2013
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Get cozy. Make a cup of tea. Make a fire. If you live at my house, you have to remove the plexi-glass that is covering your fireplace. It completes the baby-proofed look of our living room. Even with baby-proofing vigilance, Leo still manages to find anything that could potentially endanger him or my beloved cocktail glass collection. Okay, the mood is set. Priority number one was the toaster. It's a basic, every day item, and I've seen many toasters fall into pitiful failure. Burnt toast is unac...My ru...

Hunger Habit: Resolutions
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2013/01/resolutions.html
It's been a while. A very long while. Instead of blaming outside forces such as. A new baby boy. Returning to be a full-time working parent. I'll just own up to the fact that HungerHabit took a back seat in my new world of motherhood. So here's what you missed:. Photo Courtesy of Helen Killeen. I stumbled through the first few months, trying to find my rhythm in a completely different world. This world is filled with joy. It's also filled with poop. Lots of poop. I've been doing my best to start Leo on t...

Hunger Habit: November 2010
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
After a quick trip to the bathroom for clean-up, the laundry room for stain remover, offers of a stiff drink and many apologies, we were back on track. These little sprouts were proudly displayed on the menu as an attempt to add a British stamp to our Thanksgiving parade. Our normal green vegetable, green beans, were supposedly out of sight. Lesley is a top-notch peeler and quickly offered to peel and halve SIX bags of sprouts. All I did to thank her was nearly send her to the ER. 1/2 lb brussel sprouts.

Hunger Habit: October 2010
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Talk about a rut. It's been too long. Excuses seem sour and uncalled for, but I haven't written for a month. I could blame work. I barely think of anything else. I could blame travel to sexy places like Detroit and Cleveland that don't exactly leave time for fresh cooking or thinking. I could blame weekends away from home, a preference for flopping on the sofa with a glass of wine and a lazy call to our neighbors, Terragusto. For fresh, hot pasta. One minute, I'm making gin cocktails. From cover to cover...

Hunger Habit: November 2011
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
I'm going to regret this. It's late and I've only just started typing. I rarely see the other side of 10pm these days and here I am, pondering pimento cheese. According to Garden and Gun Magazine. The blog Gurgling Cod. Has declared November is National Pimento Cheese Awareness Month. And who am I to argue? I saw this month as a perfect time to declare my love and I found the stars aligned on this particular topic for several reasons:. Earlier this spring, on our road trip. Restaurant, Hog and Rocks.

Hunger Habit: June 2011
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
To continue a month filled with traveling in May, I spent a weekend in Napa after an extended work trip. Instead of a romantic weekend with my hubby, this time I traveled to Napa with my gal pal and work colleague, Holly. Upon arrival, I got aphone call from Martin who, referencing The Hangover. Hilariously accused us of checking into Cesar's Palace in Vegas. Our first stop after finding our rented bungalow, was Oxbow Market. Before making our way to Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen. In St Helena for lunch.

In case you haven't heard me complaining, spring has come late to Chicago. Very late. I'm ready to dust off the patio furniture and get outside, but swirling snow and freezing winds have prevented us. My son, Leo, turned one in late March, and he's walking and stumbling everywhere. We threw him a first fiesta, complete with cerveza, homemade grapefruit margaritas and Rick Bayless' pork tinga. He was swarmed by his cousins and buddies as he opened gift after gift. And my favorite, Saturday Kitchen. Is als...

Hunger Habit: December 2010
http://hungerhabit.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Happy Holidays from Hunger Habit. You can see that we've been roasting meats this holiday season. The two below are some of my favorite celebratory roasts and we'll definitely be needing a detox after filling up on such juicy and delicious dinners over the last few weeks. This is the first year I've abandoned the traditional English turkey. Don't tell the in-laws, but turkey comes last on my list of roasted meats, so I was happy to see it behind us after Thanksgiving. Christmas Roast Pork with Crackling.
