catching up

It's been a ridiculous stretch in NC, but it hasn't stopped us from eating. In fact, my pregnant wife's eating as much as ever, and I'm putting it down right along with her. Amid the baseball season, weddings, college graduations and the conclusion of another school year, there were a few highlights.

- HerbFest. Our friend Todd talked Herb Fest weekend up for two years, and we finally tagged along. The countless varieties of oregano, complementary wagons to fill and Todd, very much a grown man, squealing over cilantro were euphoric.

In addition to our herbs, cooking highlights included:

- grilled flounder with salmoriglio sauce
- ten straight days of grilled pork chops and potatoes (food aversions, anyone?)
- tandoori-style cobia steaks
- marinated spanish mackerel
- pan fried softshell crab
- brunch at watt's grocery
- gorging ourselves at Biryani House
- clams diavolo

Recipes are available - let me know if you want them. There are new adventures on the horizon, so stay tuned!
