LAZY DAYS
of Winter
Chili mac is in the crock pot right now. Mmmhmm, sophisticated. I spend a lot of time talking about gourmet foods, but it is cold and drizzly outside. And since I cannot spend a couple of balmy days in Louisiana soaking up the warm, humid goodness… I made chili mac instead of grilled portobellos with homemade pesto over flax seed, whole wheat pasta. Don’t judge me–or my chili mac. This next Call is enticing me, if only because I am dreaming of attending a Louisiana opening. Take a look…
