How can you resist this little guy?!
This is Tykovka, our bunny. If you’ve read the “About Me” page of this blog, then you’ve already met him. He likes to be really loud in the middle of the night – jumping back and forth in his cage, treating his hay ball like a punching bag, and [...]

What a beautiful day in Boston!!! It’s only April and it was in the 80’s… I love the heat
Today, Stas and I woke up early (9am). After breakfast, he headed off to Orange for a day of skydiving and I went to the gym for some lifting (back & biceps) and cardio (3 [...]

Golubtsi are stuffed cabbage rolls. Growing up, my Nana made them every so often, and we called them “golumpkies” (the Polish pronounciation).
She didn’t made them very often (probably because they take some time to make), but when she did, it was an ‘event’ – people got excited about it… except for me; I never liked [...]

I love fish! My favorite is raw fish (sashimi), but I’ll settle for cooked as well And for Stas, the fish has to be really really cooked!!
Last night I stopped at the grocery store for CHEESE (I looooove cheese – I’m a cheese addict) and saw salmon fillets on sale. I immediately thought [...]

My mom makes the *best* seafood stew. She got the recipe from an old coworker and passed it town to me a year or so ago. But I confess that I’ve never actually used that recipe. It’s a recipe that you need to really shop for (lots of ingredients that you don’t normally have on [...]
Tuxedos

On Saturday, we went to Men’s Wearhouse to pick out tuxedos. Stas insisted that it was way too early to be thinking about tuxes (the wedding is a little less than 5 months away), but he was a good sport!
We chose Men’s Wearhouse because they have locations all around the state (and country), so it [...]
Tongue!

When I first met Stas, I was vegetarian – and the mere thought of eating tongue grossed me out beyond belief. Even after I started eating meet (Valentine’s Day 2007), tongue was still pretty damn disgusting to me. But I’d cook it anyway – cow tongue, veal tongue, pig tongue. You’d be very surprised by [...]
A Toast!

Stas just called to give me some very exciting news – his dad has been granted a visa to visit the U.S.! Now he will be able to come for the wedding in September

I’ve been wanting to make a quiche-type dish for awhile now, but I hadn’t found a recipe that caught my eye – until I read the April 2009 issue of Cooking Light.
I made this for lunch today… at 5pm (oops!)
Last night, Stas and I went out to a friend’s house in Boston with a few [...]
