LAKESIDE OHIO!

Ahhhhh LAKESIDE!  Blue skies, no ringing cell phones!  life as our parents knew it.  Have I told you about this incredible place?  a place that seems trapped in a certain place in time, people walk by, look you in the eyes and say Hello!  your kids can play in the street and it's okay, there is not a car traveling faster than 5 mph!  flying kites off the pier!  Patio donuts! Ice cream every night! when Norman Rockwell painted Americana, he painted Lakeside!  If you've never been, rent a cottage for a week or stay at the hotel for a couple of nights,  you WILL RETURN, again and again and again!

Here's a quick recipe given to me by a good friend and a high quality co-worker; to cook in Lakeside, Cleveland, Connecticut or wherever life finds you in need of a quick dinner!

Cheers!
