Frontera Grill

2009-08-21T09:14:00.000-05:00

My parents and I celebrated my birthday at Frontera Grill 2 weeks ago - I have been wanting to try this place for 5 years and scored a reservation. The meal was amazing, the cocktails were dillylish and the desserts....FAB!!

The man just won Top Chef Masters so I think that says it all!

Blackbird

2009-08-20T09:06:00.004-05:00

A few weeks ago my friend and I went to check out William Petersen's, former star of CBS-TV's CSI, play Blackbird. The play was SOLD OUT and I was lucky enough to score tickets on Craig's List.

British vernacular for "jailbird," Blackbird is a real-time account of the awkward reunion of Ray and Una, 15 years after a passionate affair when he was 40 and she was a minor. Ray is confronted with his past when Una arrives unannounced at his workplace. Guilt, rage and raw emotions run high as they recollect their forbidden relationship.

Band of Horses

2009-08-17T20:12:00.002-05:00

After Lollapalooza, I headed over to House Blues to see my FAVORITE band Band of Horses. I know I am on a concert kick! I have tickets to 3 other upcoming shows in the next 2 months lol...check BOH out!

Chairlift, Passion Pit play Apple Store, Chicago

2009-08-16T20:01:00.003-05:00

On the eve of Chicago's Lollapalooza Music Festival 2009, Sony teamed up with Apple to get the party atmosphere in swing, resulting in a free in-store concert.

It is Thursday night and the line wrapped around the block. I wasn't even sure I would make it into the show - I was probably 10+ years older then most of these kids but I thought hey I only got a one day pass for Lollapalooza and here are 2 bands playing for free that were part of the weekend line up - I am there! We were all herded into the second floor of Chicago’s Michigan Ave. Apple Store by several college-aged guys and a goth chick. They didn't even remove the computers from the table where I perched myself for an eyeful view of Chairlift and Passion Pit. If you are loving the song soundtracking the latest iPod ad then you have heard of Chairlift. Enjoy!

Lollapalooza 2009

2009-08-15T19:31:00.007-05:00

I haven't blogged in so long - sorry! It has been a very eventful few weeks!

Last Friday, I went to Lollapalooza with a few friends - I am so lucky because I live down the street from Grant Park so it was just a hop, skip and jump to one of the most amazing music festivals! It rained earlier in the day so there was some major mud!

Had me some black pepper-truffle-parmesan popcorn from graham elliot that was dillylish!

2009-08-07T10:29:00.001-05:00

A Musical You Can Believe In

2009-08-05T23:56:00.005-05:00

Spring Awakening the most talked about new musical on Broadway is daring, dynamic and provocative. 90's Duncan Sheik wrote the score, his pal Stephen Sater interpreted the play, and choreographing legend Bill T. Jones provided some great modern moves that are unlike what you find in other musicals. Based on a banned nineteenth century play about children dealing with their “budding sexuality,” the show breaks the musical theater mold. But it only runs through August 16th at the Oriental Theatre.

Peach, mozzarella and basil salad

2009-08-02T11:22:00.000-05:00

Gotta try this...peel the peaches, chop some basil, grind some pepper and drizzle some balsamic vinegar on top. You could add olive oil. The tangy sweetness of the peach contrasts with the creaminess of the fresh mozzarella. It's the perfect one-minute summer salad.

Blackberry Napoleons

Orange Shortbread Wafers

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Blackberries

1 pint blackberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Crème Fraîche

1 cup crème fraîche
1 tablespoon orange-blossom honey
1/4 teaspoon orange-flower water

To make cookies, using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and orange zest and mix well. Beat in the flour and salt until well combined. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.

Preheat the oven to 300° F. Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to 3/16 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the shortbread into 12 rounds and place them 1-inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (Do not reroll the scraps) Prick the shortbread with a fork or wooden skewer in a decorative pattern and bake until pale golden all over, 25-30 minutes. Cool completely on rack.

To prepare blackberries, in a small bowl, combine a quarter of the blackberries with sugar and let macerate for 10 minutes. Puree the mixture in a blender, then strain through a fine sieve, discarding the solids. In a large bowl, toss the remaining berries with the puree and orange zest and set aside.

To prepare the crème fraîche, using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the crème fraîche, honey and orange-flower water and beat until the cream holds soft peaks. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

Assemble the Napoleons as desired—be creative! Stack as high or low as you dare.

Claudia Fleming’s cookbook, The Last Course, is a must for anyone who likes to bake. It is difficult to find but is available on The North Fork Inn website: http://www.northforktableandinn.com/

Summer Salads Part II

2009-07-12T11:58:00.001-05:00

Horseradish Potato Salad

3 pounds small (2-inch) potatoes, your choice of variety (I found a rainbow-colored ones at my local farmer's market)
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 cup sour cream (or 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup yogurt)
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (frustratingly, couldn’t find these)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Boil the potatoes until fork tender, cool them to room temperature and quarter them. In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients and fold over the potatoes. Adjust seasoning to taste — you might add another tablespoon of vinegar if you feel it needs more ‘zing’.

Summer Salads Part I

2009-07-11T11:56:00.000-05:00

Green Bean and Cherry Tomato Salad
Adapted from Chez Panisse Vegetables

Serves 6

1 pound green beans, though if you can find a mix of green and yellow beans, it will be all the prettier
1 pound cherry tomatoes
1 large shallot
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Basil or other herb (optional)

Prepare the vegetables: Top and tail the beans and cut them into large segments. Parboil the beans in salted water until just tender, about four to five minutes. Drain and immediately spread them out to cool. Stem the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.

Make the vinaigrette: Peel and mince the shallot and put it in a bowl with the vinegar and salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil. Taste and adjust the balance with more vinegar, oil, or salt, as needed. Toss the cherry tomatoes in with the vinaigrette; this can sit for a while. Do not add the green beans until just before serving or they will discolor from the acid in the vinaigrette. For variety, the salad can be garnished with basil or some other fresh herb such as parsley, chervil or hyssop.

Do ahead: Beans and vegetables can be prepared ahead of time. Simply toss with the dressing only at the last minute, as it can discolor the green beans after several hours.

World’s Largest Block Party

2009-07-10T09:33:00.002-05:00

Old St. Pat’s Church will be the host for the Annual World’s Largest Block Party on Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th from 5:30pm-10:30pm. This party draws a large crowd so be prepared for a lot of people. There will be some of Chicago’s finest foods to taste along with adult beverages and music. Each admission to the block party gets you five tickets for one of the following; beer, wine, water or pop. You can’t beat that. A friend and I are volunteering on Saturday night.

Music will be performed on the Main Stage and South Stage by Green River Ordinance, Collective Soul and several others. The first 100 people there each day who bring a food donation will receive a free hot dog from the Old St. Pat’s Grill. The party and the food donation will help the mission and outreach activities of Old St. Pat. There is nothing better than enjoying a good party and helping others in the process. Tickets are $35 per night or $60 for both days when purchased together. The event is for the 21 and over crowd.

Millennium Park Workouts

2009-06-13T14:22:00.004-05:00

Last weekend, I checked out the Millennium Park Workouts. Every Saturday morning they offer FREE Yoga, Pilates, Dance fitness and Tai Chi workout classes downtown in Chicago at Millennium Park on the lawn of the Pritzker Pavilion from 8am to 11am. The classes are run by the instructors from Lakeshore Athletic Club (at Illinois Center) and are courtesy of McDonald’s. Unfortunately, it rained today :(

Free Yoga classes start at 8 AM and focus on balance, flexibility, strength and overall health.

At 9 AM there are free Pilates classes to work on your core muscle strength, posture and flexibility.

Then at 10 AM there are free Dance workouts taught by some of the same dancers you see at Dance Chicago or Summerdance.

The schedule is as follows :

The Amaniyea Payne of Muntu Dance Theatre of Chicago will teach the class on June 7, 14, 21 and 28. They offer an energizing African dance workshop where you move to the beat of the drum as you enjoy this cultural experience with live musicians.

The Hip-Hop Wake-Up Call will be taught by the Culture Shock Dance Troupe on July 5, 12, 19 and 26.
Dancers of all levels and ages are invited to learn the latest hip-hop moves from Chicago’s premier hip-hop dance troupe featured in Dance Chicago for many years.

Salsa! Salsa! Salsa! with Lisa La Boriqua on Saturdays in August 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30. Enjoy dance fitness through Latin dances with this red hot mix of Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia and Cha Cha Cha.

The TAI CHI bonus class is at 7 am on the first Saturdays of each month, June 7, July 5, August 2 and September 6. Come out extra early for the elegant ancient Chinese soft martial art that has brought peace and discipline to people for centuries.

The BODY COMBAT™ class is at 9 am on July 19th. Les Mills and master trainer, Josef Matthews, leads a fiercely energetic program, inspired by many martial arts and is drawn from a wide array of disciplines, including Karate, boxing, Taekwondo, Tai Chi and Muay Thai. Its a total body workout.

Congratulations!

Sorry for the delay - still have to download my San Francisco pixs - I have 444 to work with :) Then I had random cards I made (2 congratulations) and Stamp Camp - rough weekend - had 2 extended family deaths in the past week, long hours at work, working on a BIG project for my friend Nancy (not as BIG as the project for her at this time last year lol but 55 cards nonetheless) and a trip out to Napernuts this wkd hence the delay...but keep posted for pixs of Pilate's in the Park later this week. So without much further adue...

I realized I had never posted this card. We used the Walk in the Park DSP ran it through the Big Shot with the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die.Then we used a sanding block to expose the flower that was embossed on the paper. Also used Basic Jumbo Grommets at the top of the card. I cased this card but I don't remember from whom.
