Stanly Tucci Night
Hey Bloggers, I think we ALL love us some Stanley Tucci so, inspired by his ‘Searching for Italy’ series I decided to celebrate with some Italian dishes, including many of his favorites, on Wednesday nights…Yup introducing ’Stanley Tucci’ Night! Starting March 4th I will be offering 3-4 specials each night available from 4:00 on, many of which aired on Stanley’s shows. Specials will feature chicken, pork and seafood and, of course, some serious pastas. I hope you will join us for this celebration of all things Italian! As a special treat, I am sharing my version of Stanley’s favorite pasta with he claims ‘changed my life’! Ciao!
A Time for Winter Reflection
As opposed to New Year’s Resolutions, which I don’t do right away, during the early quieter winter times I usually take the time to reflect on my last year. What would I have done differently? I would have spent more time interacting with my Guests at my restaurants. What would I have like to have done that I didn’t get to? I had a lot of ideas for new specials that I didn’t get to. Did I make any new friends. Yes, happily I made 4 new friends. Did I do anything to reinforce the love I have for my current friends? No, I didn’t but I went through a rough patch recently and they were all there to support me so I plan on returning their love this year. Did I lie to anyone? Yes, I lied to myself about a personal health issue that I kept putting off. I would urge all of you to look back, look forward, and add any new questions about yourselves. This winter reflection has served me will over my adult life. I wish you and your friends and families Peace, Joy & Love in 2026…
Blueberry-Pecan Streusel Muffins
I’m not a big breakfast guy but I sometimes like to have a little sweet pastry along with my French Press, Dark Roast coffee in the morning. As promised in my last post, I am giving you my recipe for one of my favorite morning treats. I developed this recipe a few years ago and I don’t mind doing a little bragging here but, most people who have tasted these say they are one of the best ever. They are soft and moist on the inside with a crunchy, Pecan streusel topping. I’m attaching the recipe for you so you can make it at home this weekend. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
