Another Oma recipe – chicken burgers. We used the leftovers to make an open faced sandwich with avocado and mâche salad. The chicken is cooked slowly with onions and fennel seeds before being shredded.

I Like Pizza!
A great start to the long weekend – whole wheat pizza with fontina, prosciutto, spinach and olive tapenade. On the side, a mâche salad.

Rock, Paper, Scissors & Go Fish
Last night I dined on a carefully seasoned filet of tilapia on a bed of mache and sunflower seeds. Broccoli and Fusilli introduced me to the ever delicious combo of mache and sunflower seeds in Vegas and I just cannot get enough of it! The "bed" of mache ended up being more of a king size bed of mache compared to the size of tilapia. But I've been having one too many nights of comfort food since getting laid off again...so I thought I should make up for that. The wine is a Chardonnay from Roshambo Winery. I found it at a cheap price at Cost Plus World Market (whom has NEVER carried this wine, ever) back in October of last year. After going to their web site to link it up for this post, I now realize it was a cheap price because they redesigned their packaging! The Chardonnay was decent, but I prefer the Merlot. The Merlot has a great flavor and goes down way to easily. If you're looking to buy some Roshambo wine in Chicago, the only spot I've found it at is at Goddess & Grocer and only the Merlot.
Tonight for dinner I'll be dining at the Art Institute of Chicago. It's their After Dark series and tonight's theme: After Dark: Return of the Impressionists. It's $20 for a night of free cocktails and appetizers. A Recessionista's dinner of champions.

Red, White & Green?
I was introduced to Mache in Las Vegas by Broccoli and Fusilli and now I just can't get enough of it. While Mom and I were at Whole Foods we picked some up and used it as a bed for our caprese salads on Sunday night. The tomatoes are from the Omaha's Farmer's Market, the basil is from Mom's back deck and the yummy mozzarella was thankfully prepared pre-sliced from Whole Foods.

Mache with Grilled Chicken
Day 2 – Dinner: After setting up for the show, we came back to the shack for more floating, margaritas and dinner.
After some challenges last night with the old-school bbq, I think I've got the hang of this charcoal thing. Tonight's dinner – grilled chicken, mache, queso fresco and toasted sesame seeds.
For atmosphere, I fired up the crazy outdoor fireplace. The gas comes up through the gravel creating an amazing effect. Can you hear Frank singing My Way in the background?
