The Divas Are Back in Town

"Spread the word around. Guess who's back in town. You spread the word around."

Divas are back in town. Divas are back in town. We're back in town.

(Apologies to Thin Lizzie.........) Yes, it has been a LONG hiatus. But we're back! And like an oldies group, we are the same, but different. New Divas have joined as original Divas have moved on. Nancy M has relocated and has moved too far away to join us for Diva Dinners. And Linda W spends much of her time with her new grandson and can't join us on a moment's notice, either. We miss them and their incisive commentary, but most of all, we miss their camaraderie. What fun we had together! But Nanzie S and I have recruited another foodie Diva, who will introduce herself shortly. In the meantime, let me just give you a few comments about our first dinner together, at Krazy Kat's Restaurant in Greenville, DE, at the Inn at Montchanin Village. Let this serve as an "amuse bouche" for our upcoming first full review.... If you have never been to Krazy Kat's, you owe it to yourself to go there. It is in a lovely setting and the atmosphere and decoration (portraits of cats, and some dogs, in military attire) are not to be missed. On top of that, the food is excellent. I also was fortunate enough to be in possession of a coupon entitling us to a 20% discount on our meals. We started with cocktails, followed by excellent salads and then enjoyed our entrees: duck; lamb chops; and rockfish. Each was delicious. Krazy Kat's offers 1/2 portions of all of its entrees, which is what we chose. The 1/2 portion was quite generous and left us with room to try an unusual dessert: Bacon Pound Cake. Interesting and smoky, we enjoyed it, but it was definitely a "one off" experience. We had also ordered creme brulee, which happens to be a favorite of mine. Yummy! And, an added surprise, our server had heard the Divas toasting my birthday, so the creme brulee was a birthday comp. This on top of our already received 20% food discount! Speaking of our server Barb: kudos to her! She was friendly, helpful, professional and definitely knowledgeable. Well, now that we are back, be sure to watch for our upcoming reviews....

Diva Update

Well, the Divas have been on hiatus for a while now. We've all been busy with other things and, quite honestly, for some of us writing the blog was getting to be too much like work. During our dinners, we found ourselves paying a lot of attention to the details of what we were eating so we could "get it right" on the blog. But we were losing the spirit of why we started the Divas: because we enjoy each others' company and we enjoy dining out.

We hope to get together again soon for a fun evening. And whatever we write about the dinner will be secondary to our goal of having a good time together.

Recipe Tests

I've been trying new recipes and fiddling with old ones since the year began. Today, I am revisiting my recipe for "Mexican Meatballs"; I have always made the meatballs with chopped pickled jalapenos, but today I substituted pepperoncini -- because that's what I had on hand. I also had chipotles in adobo in the freezer, so one of them went into the sauce. It's all cooking slowly now; smells good, so we will see....

The other day, I tried a quick Chicken Paella which turned out very nice, although it seemed to me to taste more like a Puerto Rican "Arroz con Pollo" that a true Paella.

Hmmm....I seem to be on a spicy kick; must be the cold and snow that have led me down that path. But I plan to try a recipe for "Orzo with Pesto and Lemon" this week. Yes, pesto, which I make in the summer and freeze so I can enjoy it in the winter. BTW, I freeze it without the Parmesan cheese because the cheese loses some of its flavor when frozen. And stirring freshly-grated cheese into the defrosted Pesto is very easy.

Shallots, mmmm good!

Right now, I'm making a simple marinated chicken breast which I'm roasting with a side of fingerling potatoes. Which got me remembering a simple recipe I used to make for Lenny: buttermilk mashed potatoes topped with fried shallots. It's pretty simple, so I won't try to offer precise measurements.

Make your favorite mashed potatoes. While they are cooking, thinly slice some shallots. Heat a neutral-tasting oil (eg, Canola) in a frying pan. Add the shallots, fry until they are crispy, then drain on paper towels. Top the mashed potatoes with the fried shallots. Enjoy.

New Year; New Recipes

Happy New Year everyone. I hope any bad times are behind you and bright days are ahead.

I am trying a new recipe for baked whole chicken tonight; I'll let you know how it comes out. I'm also making a tried-and-true recipe for Potatoes Savoyarde and another for roasted asparagus. Just in case!

This winter weather inspires me to make comfort food, either new or old recipes. How about you? What do you love to make in the winter?

Really tasty (and healthy) Carrot Soup

I made this recipe for friends recently (you know them, my tasting "victims" whom I always ask to taste new recipes the first time I make them). Well, this soup is from a very old Gourmet "Best of" volume. It is lovely. And easy. It is a small recipe, serving 2, but I think you could double or triple it without a problem.

CURRIED CARROT SCALLION SOUP

1/3 c thinly sliced white part of scallion, plus thinly sliced scallion green for garnish
1 teaspoon olive oil
pinch of mild curry powder
1-1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled carrots, plus finely grated carrot for garnish
1-1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

In a saucepan, cook the white part of the scallion in the oil over low heat, stirring, until softened.
Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced carrots and broth; bring to a boil, then simmer until the carrots are very tender (15-20 minutes).
Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor; puree mixture.
Return mixture to the pan, heat over moderate heat.
Ladle into two bowls, garnish with scallion green and grated carrot.

Walter's Steakhouse - A must!

Last Saturday, October 2nd, my husband and I celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary with dinner at Walter’s Steakhouse on Union Street in Wilmington. This was not a Diva night out; this Diva was out for dinner with her hubby. It has been years since we last dined at Walters. While our previous visit was pleasant, this time our total dinning experience and the food was outstanding! We especially want to mention our waiter, Andre. We cannot remember when we had a waiter that was so professional, absolutely top notch! He was so on top of everything attentive with out hovering, did not remove the dinner dishes until we were both done eating, and did not rush us through each course. Let me share our experience.
First the décor is very warm and reminded us of a fine dinning restaurant in the early 1900; lots of wood, dark reds and greens, white tablecloths, etc. I recall the décor being similar to what it was the last time we were here but it seemed fresher.
We were seated at a nice sized table, one where you did not have to move all of the table appointments to one side to make room for your dinner plate and bread basket. You know what I am talking about …how often have you had to move that little vase of flower, salt and pepper and candle to one side of the table? Not all of the tables for two were this large but we were lucky enough to get this one.
My hubby and I ordered our before dinner drinks. Fred had a Dewars and water, and I had a Grand Mariner Martini. We made a toast for our Anniversary and within a 30 seconds., so it seemed, Andre was at our table side with two glasses of Champagne and the bus boy walked by and wished us “many more”! We did not realize Andre was near by and overheard us. Impressive! The bread for the table was warm and delicious. We ordered from the $29.95 special menu which included an appetizer, salad, an entrée and a dessert. Fred ordered the Lobster Bisque, filet and crème brulee. I ordered the scallop wrapped bacon, prime rib and bananas foster. Fred’s filet was medium and was perfect to order. I ordered prime rib medium rare, and emphasized “rare” and it also was perfect, full of flavor with little fat or waste. We gave the over all dinner an outstanding rating. The last and final touch for the evening was the coffee. When the Divas go out coffee is one of our pet peeves it is usually just ok or so so. Not a Walters. There coffee was so out standing that we had to ask what is was, and hoped that would not tell us “Maxwell House”. Well, he didn’t. It was a brand we had not heard of I believe it was Casa. It was absolutely the best and a perfect ending to a perfect meal. We are putting Walters on our list of places that we plan to frequent more often. Andre, thank you for making our special evening extra special!

Foxfire: Local and seasonal

The Divas, minus me, went to the Stone Barn recently for brunch. I didn't see mention in the review of a new restaurant which is also located there:

"Speaking of seasonal and local foods, I have just heard about the opening of a new farm to table restaurant in the area called Foxfire at the Stone Barn. Located on the lovely country estate at 550 Upland Road in Kennett Square, PA, the Stone Barn is a family-run restaurant and event setting, nestled in the rolling hills of Chester County.

Foxfire is a BYOB restaurant that serves local foods, featuring a fresh, changing menu throughout the year. Seatings are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and reservations are required by calling 610-347-2414. For more information, visit: http://www.thestonebarn.com/foxfire.htm. "

Do any Divas, followers, other foodies have experiences of this restaurant to share?

The Stone Barn, Kennett, PA

On a beautiful Sunday morning August 29, three of the four Divas once again ventured out for brunch at The Stone Barn. It was a gorgeous day for a ride and The Stone Barn being out in the middle of horse country, made for a lovely way to start the day. One Diva, who is a city gal, got a little lost and after stopping several times to ask for directions finally found the restaurant. The Stone Barn setting is on rolling hills with beautiful landscaping … a perfect place for a wedding or special occasion. As the name states, it is in fact a stone barn which once was a horse stable, now converted into a restaurant. It is charming, with nicely appointed tables with white table clothes, beautiful views out of all of the windows and plenty of natural sunlight in the room where we were seated. There is also an interior room which was darker with a warm and cozy feel. The brunch was served buffet style and a very attractive spread of breakfast and lunch foods. The one other item which is always important to the Divas is the room’s acoustics. How wonderful it was that we could easily carry on a conversation and not notice the conversations of those around you. The Stone Barn gets an A+ in this area.
A spread of fresh fruit was welcoming, the waffles nice and light. Two of the Divas went for these and we both chose blueberry topping which was nice, not too sweet. The breakfast foods were traditional, I always try the eggs benedict and similar to any other brunch buffet, I was disappointed. You can never cut them with a knife because the muffin gets so hard on the bottom from setting in the warming tray. The place that figures out how to solve this problem will get this diner coming back often. The coffee was not to our liking; in fact none of us finished our first cup. On to the next course, the luncheon spread. The hit here was the mussels with the pineapple salsa. Both Nancy and Nanzie really enjoyed them. I, as usual always have a good appetite, and sampled just about everything, from soup to salad and some of the entrees. The other two Divas sampled just a few of items. We agreed that the free range chicken was very good, and I raved about the salmon with crab as being cooked perfectly, and was moist and succulent. However, overall we rated the food good, but not outstanding. The ambiance is outstanding and with the right company, a wonderful experience.

Six Paupers Restaurant

On Thursday, August 12, 2010, three of the four divas went to Six Paupers, located on Lancaster Pike in Hockessin. As you enter Six Paupers, you are in the large and comfortably decorated bar/lounge. The main dining room is beyond the bar and is separated from it by a half partition. Although near the bar, the dining room is quiet; a good job has been done with the acoustics. The décor is warm and cozy with low lighting, but not so low that you cannot read the menu.

We chose to go on a Thursday, which is the night that they have a special of 50% off a bottle of wine. So to start off our meal we selected a bottle of Sterling “Meritage”, a wine that none of us have had before. It was delightful -- a pleasant blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Malbac and Petit Verdot. We all agreed that it was a nice blend and great choice.

We chose for appetizers:

Ahi Tuna Bites Wasabi-panko crusted ahi tuna with soy-ginger dipping sauce.
Steamed Clams In a Chili Tomato Broth. Served with Focaccia Parmesan Crostini.

Both were wonderful and the servings plentiful. The broth of the clams was so delicious that we asked for more bread to sop up the juices. The Ahi Tuna bites were interesting and very tender; but we had ordered them rare and they were served cooked through.

Our entrees were:

Pan Seared Scallops Sherry brown butter, fried leaks & white truffle oil. Served with mashed potatoes & asparagus. Scallops were so nice and tender and how can anything go wrong with mashed potatoes? Asparagus were for the most part tender. I did get one that was rather tough, not bad considering asparagus are a spring vegetable.

Cajun Cornmeal Crusted Chicken Topped with Andouille Sausage, Bell Pepper & Onion in a Spicy Tomato Cream Sauce. Served with Mexican Rice & Broccoli. The sauce is what enhanced the taste of this dish, which was not too spicy.

Pan Seared Salmon Topped with a wasabi coating and roasted vegetables in a balsamic dressing. As always, one Diva is very health conscience, (shouldn’t we all be?) and orders healthy. The salmon was a little dry but the coating seemed to down play that fact. The vegetables were indistinguishable from each other since the balsamic dressing painted everything one color and gave them all the same taste.

We all had coffee and for dessert we chose to share a Chocolate Lava Cake. This was disappointing, it had no taste and we did not finish it.

All in all, Six Paupers is a nice neighborhood place and we agreed that we would come back again. The atmosphere is inviting and the food good.

Kath's Casserole

My friend Kath is gluten-intolerant.  I thought about that when I was looking at one of my old recipes for a Ham & Noodle Casserole.  So I decided to rework it.  I am happy with the results; so were my official tasters.

HAM AND RICE CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS

4 T sweet butter                                                             

1 small onion, chopped fine                                          

Cooked rice with pine nuts (recipe follows)                     

2 eggs, slightly beaten        

8 oz creme fraiche

4 oz grated Gruyere                                                     

1/2 lb chopped cooked deli ham

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme

PREPARATION

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2 quart casserole.
2. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Set aside.
3. Cook the rice according to the recipe below.
4. While the rice cooks, in a large bowl, mix the eggs and crème fraiche, then add the cooled onion, cheese, ham and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add the cooked rice, mix to combine, and transfer to the casserole.
6. Bake in middle of oven for 40-45 minutes. Cover if top is getting too dark.

Serves 4.

RICE WITH PINE NUTS

INGREDIENTS

1/3 c pine nuts                                                              

1 T butter                                                                     

1 large shallot, minced (or about 2 T minced onion)

1 c uncooked rice (not converted rice)
1-1/2 c low-sodium chicken stock

PREPARATION

1. Toast pine nuts in nonstick skillet until lightly browned.  Set aside.
2. Melt butter in pot.  When melted, add shallot and cook until tender.
3. Add rice and stir to blend; cook about 1 minute over medium-low heat.
4. Add the chicken stock, turn up the heat and bring to a full boil.  Stir thoroughly, cover with tight fitting lid, turn burner to lowest setting and cook exactly 17 minutes.  DO NOT OPEN POT AT ANY TIME WHILE COOKING!
5. Open pot, stir in pine nuts.  If serving as a side dish, also mix in 1 T butter.  For recipe above, omit butter.

Note:  this rice recipe is designed for a gas cooktop, where the heat can be immediately controlled. 

Falling behind, catching up; Ribs at Nanzie's

I truly meant to get my new recipes finalized in the last two weeks, but so much has happened that I have had to let them slide.  But this week, I hope to revisit and refine them to the point that I am satisfied.
In the meantime, I had a great ribs dinner at Nanzie's house this weekend.  Now, I am a Northerner, so ribs are out of my comfort zone.  I enjoy them but don't make them.  Nanzie's are delicious!  Oh, and she makes fried leeks that I find irresistible!  Maybe we can get her to share her recipe?
I had a very good burger tonight.  It was a riff on a recipe in Food & Wine.  I shredded some Pepper Jack and mixed in a diced Pepperoncini.  I stuffed the burger with this mixture, then moistened the outside with olive oil and sprinkled it with salt & pepper.  Cooked it with the grill on "high" for 6 minutes total, turning once (that's for medium rare; cook to your liking).  Toasted a roll, added sliced tomato from my neighbor's garden, and enjoyed it immensely.  Finally, weather that encourages you to cook -- outside or inside.
I have all the ingredients on hand to rework my Rice and Ham Casserole.  In the next few days, I hope to get it done and then give tasting samples to my local tasters (aka, "victims").

The Orchard Restaurant

This restaurant is in Kennett Square, PA, just off Route 1, near Longwood Gardens. My friend Connie recently dined there and enjoyed it a lot. This is the second good review I have heard about this nearby BYOB. I think it has to go on the list of "Diva Destinations" for this fall!

http://www.theorchardbyob.com/

Summer dinner plans

Finally we were able to set the next dinner date! Unfortunately one of the Divas cannot make it so we are going to keep it real local.

Next dinner date: August 12
Destination: Six Paupers in Hockessin, Delaware

We also set a second date in which we hope all four Divas will be together. This is for a brunch at the Stone Barn in PA.

Date: Sunday, August 29
Destination: Stone Barn

Stay tuned!

What a wonderful feeling

Dad and I when out for breakfast yesterday at IHOP and as usual, Dad would not let me pay. So I looked around the restaurant and decided that I would pay for some one's breakfast. So I looked for my victim. Ahhhh, there she is, woman eating all by herself. I overheard her tell another patron that she is heading down to Ocean City for a couple days of R&R, so I figured what a nice way to start her vacation, a free breakfast. Went to the cashier and told her that I wanted to pay for that lady's breakfast and did so. When the cashier asked me my name, I gave it to her and told her that the woman does not know me. You had to see the look on the cashier' face. She was so surprised. This was a "pay it forward" moment, that I think I will try to do again. In keeping with the our blog I think I will keep in the food category.

Who knows maybe you will be my next victim.

New Recipes in Progress

I've been working on two new recipes; one of them is "almost there" while the other is still in its early stages.

The one that I'm closest to finalizing is a riff on an old-style ham-and-noodle casserole.  One of the major changes I've made is to use rice instead of noodles.  I've also substituted creme fraiche for the sour cream in my old recipe.  I'll give it one more tweak this week and then, if I'm happy with it, I'll share...or I'll keep plugging away at it until I am satisfied!

"Hoagie Dip"

I recently hosted a wine tasting at my house.  We had lots of different munchies (and of course, lots of different wines).  The hands-down winner for best appetizer:  the "Hoagie Dip" from Andrea's Best of Italy on Ace Memorial Drive. This is the very small strip mall at the top of the hill when you leave Hockessin on Route 41 (just after the road becomes one lane, but before the PA line).  If you try this dip, you will join the fan club.  It is wonderful.  I served it with Andrea's Italian bread but also with Romaine leaves for a friend who is gluten-intolerant.  You know what, it was best with the Romaine leaves; they seemed to really compliment the dip flavor.

I have used Andrea's many times for prepared meals and subs when I have company.  They are always willing to accommodate special requests (eg, vegetarian meals) and just seem happy to help.  What a nice feeling!

Harry's Seafood Grill

On Thursday, June 17th the Divas had a wonderful evening at Harry’s Seafood Grill. (http://harrys-savoy.com/seafood.asp) This restaurant is located on the Wilmington Riverfront and we were lucky enough to score an outside table on a beautiful night with low humidity and light breezes.

The wine: Harry’s Seafood Grill, like its sister restaurant Harry’s Savoy Grill, has an extensive and well-chosen wine list with prices to please every budget. There is also a good selection of wines by the glass (with the exception of the chardonnays). This is perfect for us since it allows us to taste a number of different wines. Our selections were: 
Harry’s Private Label Chardonnay: pleasant and light, and a bargain at $5.95 a glass.
Murphy-Goode Chardonnay: lovely, with reasonable oak.
Alvarinho Vinho Verde: wonderful on a summery evening.
Leth “Steinagrund” Gruner Veltliner: excellent example of Austria’s most famous wine.

The appetizers: As we enjoyed our wine, we struggled with choosing from the appetizer menu; so many items sounded enticing. Our server James was a big help here, and we finally settled on the Grand Seafood Plateau, which included oysters, clams, shrimp and king crab, and the White Tuna and Strawberry Ceviche with Sweet Potato Chips. In addition, we shared a Baby Spinach Salad.

All of the items in the Grand Seafood Plateau were briny, fresh and delicious, although the clams were just a tad sandy. We found the mignonette sauce to be a little astringent for our taste. Linda especially loved one of the oysters, a small one she was not familiar with. Unfortunately, we forgot to ask immediately for its name; it seems the kitchen uses various oysters in the seafood plateaus over the course of the evening. As best we could determine later, it seemed to have been a Point Reyes, CA, oyster. Linda searched online to try to determine the exact type but was unsuccessful; she will just have to return to sample all the oysters until she can nail it down! Our server James had recommended the White Tuna and Strawberry Ceviche. We all loved it! The tuna was so flavorful and tender. The sweetness of the strawberries was cut by the addition of very thinly sliced pieces of jalapeno peppers. The Sweet Potato Chips served with the ceviche could become an addiction, they are so good, and James thoughtfully brought us a second plate of them. Be sure to try this ceviche dish if it is on the menu when you go there. The Baby Spinach Salad was served with spiced pecans, sundried cherries, red onion, Maytag blue cheese and a fig-walnut vinaigrette. It sounds so over-the-top, but it was a great combination and the fig-walnut vinaigrette was just lovely.


The entrees: After much deliberation (and a second glass of wine each), we finally made our selections: Oven Roasted Mahi-Mahi; Grilled Alaskan King Salmon; Rare Seared Big Eye Tuna; and Tangier Island Soft Shell Crabs. Never ones to shy away from going over the top, we added sides of Lobster Mashed Potatoes and Truffled Wild Mushrooms. All the main courses were expertly prepared and it was evident that the seafood was absolutely fresh. Here’s how the individual items stacked up:

Oven Roasted Mahi-Mahi, chosen by Nanzie, was served with applewood smoked bacon, brussels sprouts, broccoli rabe and watermelon pineapple salsa. This was an excellent preparation. The only negative about this dish was the brussel sprouts, which had been roasted and were still quite firm. Some vegetables really do need to be cooked through and brussels sprouts is one of them.


Grilled Alaskan King Salmon was Linda’s selection and it was all salmon should be. It tasted delicious. It was served with wasabi scallion sticky rice, white swiss chard and a yuzu dijon drizzle. Yuzu was new to us; it is a sour Japanese citrus fruit with an aromatic rind. I don’t think any of us could pick out its taste distinct from the other ingredients, but the overall effect was a pleasant one. The wasabi in the rice was not overpowering, it merely gave it a bit of zing, and the sticky rice was a great accompaniment to the salmon.

Rare Seared Big Eye Tuna, Nancy’s entrée, is a species closely related to yellow fin tuna. This entrée, like the King Salmon, had a definite Asian flare. It included a yuzu glaze, pea shoots, soba noodles, scallion, shiitake mushrooms and a grilled lime emulsion. This got the vote for best entrée of the evening. Each of us thought it was outstanding.

Tangier Island Soft Shell Crabs, my choice, were somewhat of a disappointment. Since I am not fond of fried food, I asked that they be sautéed. The soft shells were served with mirliton slaw (mirliton, sometimes called chayote, is a member of the gourd family, like squash) and a horseradish-lemon aioli. We all felt the crabs were a little on the mushy side and lacking flavor. Perhaps they would have been better with the buttermilk batter called for on the menu.

Lobster Mashed Potatoes and Truffled Wild Mushrooms were our outrageously good side dishes. The potatoes had nice sized chunks of lobster meat and the mushrooms were wonderfully meaty and flavorful. Needless to say, we cleaned these plates. Of course, we didn’t leave any of the other items on our plates, either.

Dessert and Coffee: Since we had pretty much stuffed ourselves by this point (must have been the lobster mashed that did us in), we decided to split a dessert. The dessert menu is very enticing, so we were once again torn about a decision. We finally decided to go seasonal, and so chose a rhubarb and strawberry cake topped with ice cream. We all enjoyed it very much. Three of us opted for decaf cappuccino and one brave Diva had regular coffee.

In Summary, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and our meal. Harry’s is not a bargain destination, that’s a fact. But the quality of the seafood was outstanding, we loved the creativity of the menu and the service was excellent. It is definitely a place to return to – once we rebuild our bank accounts.

Postscript: Since our meal, I have learned that Big Eye Tuna is considered endangered, so I don’t know that I would order this even though it was delicious. Of course, that is an individual choice.

Harry's Seafood at the Wilmington Riverfront

On this Thursday, we will be dining at Harry's at the Riverfront. We Divas have all been there before and have had mixed reactions. Stay tuned....

Ed Oliver's Golf Course - Greenhill Pub

Am not quite sure if Greenhill Pub is the proper name of this restaurant but it is close enough, but I can tell you that this evening June 11, my hubby and I played 9 holes of golf and had the a wonderful light dinner at the "19th hole". The Greenhill Pub, has a light fare menu of nice sandwiches and salads. I had the roast beef and cheddar wrap and Fred had a hamburger with onions, mushrooms and peppers. Both were perfect, light and nicely prepared, and totally enjoyed on the new deck of the resturaunt overlooking the golf course. The menu is not fancy and is some what limiting but not in a negative way. They are trying to keep it simple and that is not a bad thing. If you go be sure to tell Chris White that Nanzie recommended the pub.The pub just opened early May and has not yet started to advertise, i have a feeling that once this place is discovered, it will become a favorite family place because its prices are so reasonable. It is located at the Old Porky Oliver's Golf Club in Wilmington. Stop by before the crowd discovers this place!
