Before I write up today’s blog, I must first thank Benny for fixing my script error. I am so lucky that my husband has such brilliant friends! I appreciate everyone’s patience with this problem. I have to admit it made me a little grumpy. Speaking of grumpy (how is that for a segue?), have you …

Sushi update…
If you read my article in The Beachcoast about sushi in NW Indiana, you will know that I recommended House of Kobe as a sushi spot. I went there today and was very disappointed. The actual fish was delicious but my rice was less than extradonary. It lacked everything that makes sushi so wonderful. It was …
MVB Contest–Last Day to Vote
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who reads “Felt Like a Foodie” for voting during the CBS MVB contest. (One last hint for you to vote for me.) The outpouring of support I have received has truly been a gift! (Not as good of a gift as winning but that isn’t the …
Something For the Vegetarians!
Last week I went out to lunch at a quirky fun bistro and was excited to see “Garden Fresh Tomato Soup” on the menu. Tomatoes in NW Indiana and Chicagoland (shameless voting reminder) have been so good this season that I was thrilled to try the seasonal soup. The friend I was with inquired if …
Step Up to the Bar…the Sushi Bar
The only thing I love more than eating sushi is talking about sushi. (Picky People don’t stop reading yet, I may entice you.) Over the years it has become one of my favorite foods. I don’t know if it is the artistry that is involved with each piece or the expansive flavors the chef (itamae) …
Influenced and Aroused
In-spire (verb used with a subject) to produce or arouse (a feeling or emotion, etc.) to influence I am frequently asked what inspires me when I cook. The two definitions above help me answer this question. First, I find preparing food to be a very arousing, emotional experience. Aroused, you ask? Yep, that is …
I’m Glad It’s Roast Chicken Night
I was very excited last week because one of my favorite stores had roasting chickens on sale. The thought of cooking this chicken was so thrilling that I had to call one of my friends about my bird. Her response was “what do you do with a roasting chicken?” (She is one of my prettiest …
Pattypan Squash or UFO?
August is my favorite month to go to farmer’s markets. I just seem to find more food treasures during this time of the year. Our stands seem to have everything from berries to tomatoes to beans. (Sometimes they have nice young farmhands too but I’m not allowed to bring any of them home.) On my …
Relishing the Reunion
There is something that comes along with a marriage. You may like it, you may not. You may want to be part of it all the time or maybe just on special occasions. There may be days you will feign a headache just to get away from it. Any married person would know that I …
