Leahy’s Food Blog begins


Posted by lellen | 05/08/08


I actually spent a great deal of time thinking of a title for my new food related blog.

So, here it is- Leahy’s Food Blog. It’s about as appetizing as bland mush. Hmm, wait a second, couldn’t mashed potatoes be considered bland mush? There is nothing like great mashed potatoes!
Leahy’s Food Blog sounds more like milk toast; no wait, milk toast on a queasy stomach. Throw in a little weak tea to wash it down - taste of the old country.

But really, cut me some slack - Leahy is the name, food is the subject and this is a blog - it cuts to it.

Week two; slow food week


Posted by lellen | 05/09/08

May 4 a recap:
I guess last week just wasn't exciting in regards to food. Not good, as food is, as they say, the staff of life.

I did cut the dried-out end of my Jarlsburg cheese off and chopped it up and mixed it in with the dried food for the Dogs. China, a rottweiler, and Grace, a Westhighland terrier. Everything they do together is like something out of a Disney Movie. China is a big baby who purrs when you scratch her just right, while Grace thinks she is a big dog. Yesterday, I mixed some scrambled eggs in with their kibble. They didn't say so, but I could tell they thought it was yummy.

Then last night, I cranked out a good meal: Turkey cutlets, which I picked up at Wegmans...

You think you know all your purveyor's have to offer?

Had a wild craving for ravioli the other afternoon, so I wheeled over to Lombardi’s Imports on Butternut Street on Syracuse’s North side. I went to the Frozen food section and grabbed a Gondola Brand Product – then I saw these stuffed rigatoni? Hmm, I’d never seen them before– so I grabbed a package. Dominick Lombardi told me he eats them all the time. His wife will leave a pot of water on the stove and there is always sauce about; so if he gets home late, he just throws about five into boiling water for five minutes; turns off the heat and lets the stuffed beauties sit for another two minutes; then he adds sauce, tops with a little grated cheese, and then he enjoys a simple delicious meal...
