interior decorating: Salisbury Steak - as Served in Minnesota
- 02/01/08 10:58 AM
Here is what we are having at the Lordbock house for supper tonight. With a warm up in temperatures today bringing us from -50 to 20 above - I'm working again and looking for something that makes it appear that I have been in the kitchen cooking all day, when I have not. This is quite tasty and does not take very long to prepare. I would classify this recipe in the comfort food range with the meat and potatoes being a sure winner with most people. I am serving this over mashed potatoes, with a hot vegetable, muffins and … (4 comments)

interior decorating: October is here and the air is clear!
- 10/02/07 11:47 AM
It was so nice to go out to eat on Sunday and not have to ask to sit in the non-smoking section of one of our favorite restaurants. They are all smoke free sections now. I passed through the bar area on the way to the restroom and did not have to hold my breath. I came out smelling like I did when I went in (hopefully good). No migraine headache and the food just seemed to taste better. A young couple sat in the bar area watching the TV and eating . They had their infant daughter in … (0 comments)
interior decorating: Filling The Niche - Literally
- 10/01/07 03:28 PM
This was a quick fix for a matching pair of niches in a lovely formal dining room. I already had the bottles in my staging inventory. Usually I use one as a stand alone accent piece or perhaps a grouping of three for a large space. I don't usually fill them with anything. I have a variety of ropes and tassels, which come in handy for door knobs, towels, or hanging on artwork. The Asiatic Lilies were from a local grocery store and $10.00 a bunch. The twigs from my yard and soaked in glycerin. They will last for years. … (34 comments)
