The Barry Table

It's about food, sure, but just like Barry tables across Chicago and around the country, this is also a place to share ideas, make plans for family reunions and boast about recent accomplishments, food-related or not.

Back in the Sunshine State




Merry Christmas Eve!
I arrived back in Sarasota, FL yesterday, on a thankfully uneventful, and un-delayed flight. After Freddy was through seeing his psychiatric patients, we had a relaxing day of grocery shopping, watching The Planet Earth (a gift from Kevin and Carolyn), cooking, and gardening. Freddy made a Red and Green Winter Soup, loaded with kale (and I LOVE kale). Our garden feels truly complete now, with the addition of our new watering can, T-Runk. Tomorrow's Christmas dinner menu consists of left over soup, crab cakes, zucchini bread, and a mixed green salad straight from our lanai garden. We miss all you Barry's, but I have to admit I couldn't be happier in the warm Florida humidity.

Well I'm glad to see that T-Runk is fitting in nicely with the garden. He looks very happy watering your plants. Also you'll be happy to know that he has a microbiologicial watchdog cell which can detect and dissipate leaf miner virii.
