A 4th of July of July Picnic Menu.

By Maureen Abood On July 2, 2013 · 5 Comments · In Menus
Here’s what’s cooking up north this 4th of July. We actually have two picnics–one for the parade, and another that evening (a family’s gotta eat, right?). I love this menu, and even though none of us is eating gluten-free right now, I’m still pleased as punch that for the most part, it is (barley in [...]

Ruby Red Grapefruit-St. Germain Mimosa

By Maureen Abood On March 27, 2013 · 5 Comments · In Christmas, Drinks, Easter, Gluten-Free, Stories and Recipes, Winter
By now it’s crystal clear that St. Germain tastes good with just about anything you can think of to pair it with. If you ask my brothers, it’s even better on its own, on the rocks, when late evening comes and something more is called for. The affinity we all have over here for St. [...]

An Easter Brunch Menu

By Maureen Abood On March 25, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Menus
Even though I’ve had Lebanon on the brain lately, there is one place and one place only that Easter memories take me. That is to Fostoria, Ohio, where I ate my first pillow soft, yellow sugar-coated Peep. Alice made each of her grandchildren an adorable little Easter basket using the green fruit pint boxes she [...]

A Valentine’s Day Dinner Menu

By Maureen Abood On February 4, 2013 · 6 Comments · In Menus, Winter
I like to go out on Valentine’s Day for dinner about as much as I like to stay out all night on New Year’s Eve. You’ve got double the number of tables in the house, and “Prix Fixe,” overpriced, molten-chocolate-blah menus churned out one after another, along with the embarrassing sense you are a cliché [...]

A Christmas Eve Menu, with ideas and tips

By Maureen Abood On December 20, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Menus
Somewhere along the line, our Christmas feast shifted from Christmas day to Christmas Eve. Our Eve used to be the seven of us, along with Sitto, Aunt Hilda and everyone’s favorite cousin, Alberta. Hilda liked a screwdriver to kick off the evening, something to soften the edges after all of the output from her kitchen—the [...]

Our Thanksgiving Menu, with little ideas, recipes and tips

By Maureen Abood On November 19, 2012 · 7 Comments · In Menus
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. ~Khalil Gibran While cooking: Beaujolais nouveaux, fatayar nibble (made ahead). Before and with dinner: Bubbly, Pinot Noir, and Sancerre. Roasted Turkey, all natural and organic, from Peggy’s [...]

Bohica Lodge Lebanese Menu, way up north

By Maureen Abood On October 9, 2012 · 10 Comments · In Menus
I love a small world. Several months back, I received a note from someone who had been googling around for a good recipe for kibbeh nayeh. Clif came across my site (yay SEO), and as he read my essay about my father’s near-religious devotion to the proper kibbeh-making technique, he realized that he was reading [...]

Fall Football Tailgate: Mom’s Oven-Fried Chicken

By Maureen Abood On September 11, 2012 · 9 Comments · In Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Fall, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Winter
The fried chicken for our family football tailgaters has come from some auspicious places over the years. A big bucket of extra-crispy from KFC was not beneath us (my dad liked going to pick it up, because he could have an appetizer piece or two on the way home. I could tell he’d been eating [...]

A Fall Football Menu: Tailgating, Abood-style

By Maureen Abood On September 10, 2012 · 11 Comments · In Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Fall, Menus
When you grow up in a college town like I did, you end up spending all of your fall Saturdays in the stadium watching football games. That was fun…but let’s face it, the tailgate party before the game has always been the bigger attraction for me. I loved going to Spartan stadium with the whole [...]
