Matt: What are we doing for supper? Wanna go have an early one at Habanero’s? Me (in my head): Ugh. I was burnt out on Habanero’s the second time we went there. Me (out loud): We have food here. Surely we have food here. Matt (rummaging through the freezer): Unidentifiable animal parts (dog bones)… loaf [...]

Berocks
Posted in Beer and Wine, Bread, Eating Out, Local, Meat on November 8, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Well, since the kitchen is in a state of flux (read: disaster) due to somestupidpeoplethatputwallpaperdirectlyonthedrywall (whew!), Tricia the Red hasn’t had time, nor the inclination, to do much in the kitchen. Last night we picked up a prepared hot meal from Harvestyme Bakery. It’s a Berocks, or a German sandwich with ground sirloin, Bavarian [...]
Party Time

Last night I made some cranberry-goat cheese dip (a delicious recipe from The Oklahoman: goat cheese, pine nuts, dried cranberries, and balsamic vinegar!) and spread it on toasted ciabatta from Harvestyme Bakery. Earlier in the day my uncle and his partner visited. They brought us a house-warming gift that included some champagne (the real deal!) [...]
Back to Trattoria

We didn’t waste any time getting back to Trattoria. Matt and I had some time to waste yesterday, so we decided to go there for supper. After taking our order, the waiter brought some cannellini bean spread and placed a piece of focaccia on each of our plates. Soon he brought water and Anchor Steam [...]
Mid-Week Pizza

I’m going to run out of not-so-clever ways to say that, once again, it’s pizza night. I never, ever get tired of pizza. I’ll talk about how tonight’s pizza came together. It was pretty effortless. As always, the crust came from Earth Elements Farm. Matt, the one-time pizza-makin’ pro, prepped the dough and baked it [...]
A perfect day for a picnic.

Early in the day it was pretty steamy, and then the sky turned gray and impending. Happily, by the time we got to the picnic, the weather was perfect. The Annual Slow Food Picnic is held at the Harn Homestead. $25/person is kinda steep for a picnic, but this is not a typical picnic. Local [...]
Red, red wine

You make me feel so fine. It was necessary to get stocked up on some wine as I am anticipating the arrival this weekend some fellow red-wine lovers: my brother and his girlfriend. I usually try to stay around $10/bottle and about half of the Oklahoma wines were in my price range. My haul: $7.99 [...]
Irma’s got the cure
Posted in Beer and Wine, Eating Out, Local, Meat on September 13, 2007 | 1 Comment »
#31 of the 100 Oklahoma foods to try before you die: the NoName Burger at Irma’s Burger Shack Irma’s slogan is: “ain’t nothin’ a good burger and a cold beer can’t cure” I tested this out again tonight. And, yep, it’s still true. She’s opened a new location in the renovated Plaza Court building, but [...]
