Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Sweet Corn
Yesterday somebody mentioned fish tacos somewhere. Or maybe I read about them on-line. Or perhaps I dreamed about them. Anyway, I had a terrible craving for fish tacos and I was able to talk Yes!Chef! into making them for me. I also just happened to find a recipe for shrimp tacos in the latest “Fine Cooking” mag. So, really, it was kismet that we should make them.

Yesterday I noticed a spike in people who were viewing this blog and a few more comments than normal. In trying to track down the reason, I found this blog post by WordPress.com

Blackberry Cobbler
I have been very excited to write about this recipe ever since seeing it on Pioneer Woman (Food Network) this past weekend and then making it that very day. Blackberry Cobbler brings back memories from my childhood. Growing up in Placerville, CA (which is in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas near Tahoe), it was hot and dry in the summer. Perfect weather for blackberry bushes. In fact, most people around here consider them a nuisance because they can very quickly take over huge chunks of land. I have one in my yard that keeps trying to grow and take over and I keep whacking it back.

Romantic Coq Au Vin
So, here is the finished product…Julia Child’s Coq Au Vin – Chicken with Wine and pearl onions and tomatoes and mushrooms and wonderful wine. Yes!Chef! also made roasted potatoes and simple buttery broccoli. We love chicken around the Schmautzhaus and we also love slow food, so this was the perfect food for Yes!Chef to cook. He started making it in the morning, before the chickens were up .
Chicken warily eyes me.
I am starting to fall a little behind with Yes!Chef!’s food blogging. He’s pumping out great food faster than I can take pictures, edit them, taste the food and blog. Then, there’s this whole world around me that is begging to be photographed, to say nothing of my photography business. So many beautiful people, so little time. I’ve been as busy as our Lavender Bees. All this to say that I have some heavy duty catching up to do, hopefully in the next few days.
