  It's fish season!   Delicious version of the fan favorite, Panko Crusted Haddock ... sandwiches for some, just fillets for others.   The required accomplishment of Chile Cilantro Aioli completes the meal. 

  Time for custom creations and LOTS of dirty dishes!   Pasta Bar returns... our standard quick red sauce , pesto, egg noodles and assorted toppings - sausage, beans, cheeses, onions.   Traders Joe's fresh pastas- spinach/ricotta tortellini and artichoke ravioli were big hits.

  Yummy comfort food on a snowy day - Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf , Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans (add bacon!)   Get well Owl!     We also hosted a Kahlua tasting flight where Piglet correctly identified the store bought, other home brew and his own creation with just a tiny sip of each.  He's wicked smart. 

  Very tasty winter fare, Chicken Thighs with Pancetta, White Beans and Rosemary made a good meal.  Israeli couscous and broccoli completed the plate. Fun this week: seeing how this tester recipe, Chicken Scarpaiello , was finally published - Chicken Scarpaiello.   Our version had more hot cherry peppers and more parsley,  Maybe we contributed to the final outcome! 

  A frigid week seemed like a good reason for warm Mexican food.    Beef Enchilada Casserole was the right choice.  The crowd always seems to appreciate this Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce , which really is simple and tastes great.  We had beans and salad and finished off the meal with homemade brownies from the chef.  Yum. The biggest excitment seemed to be regarding the arrival of squeezable sour cream.  It was a game changer.  

  A yummy start to the new year.... Smothered Chicken .   We added rice, sauteed spinach and rolls.  It was complete with fresh baked cookies!  Our guest from California enjoyed a fine meal on a cold Maine night.

Another year of good eats ahead.  Welcome 2016.
