Generation to Generation...Cast Iron Skillets are trusted tools

There's something magical about cast iron skillet.  It's always adds a Guilty touch to cooking.  Scrambled cheesy eggs ith Applewood bacon become a masterpiece. Fried chicken tastes Southern.  Duck fat fries taste like heaven and charred Brussel sprouts become epic. AWESOME!!!

That's all great. but it's not the secret of the skillet.  The real treasure of a cast iron frying pan is that we go retro. It's a culinary portal  Now we are cooking great food just like our parents, grandparents and great grandparents did.  That cultural lineage is pure magic.  Trusted skillets are included many wills.  Children fight over them.  With the right skillet, recipes that are handed down from generation to generation, now taste like they did in 1914.

This particularly true when it comes to making breakfast.  No shortcuts are permitted. Thin Mint and I only go out to for breakfast or brunch at restaurants that swear by the skillet. We particularly like the Green Eggs Cafe in Philly.  They have three locations and their food is incredible.  My mouth is watering for scrambled with cheese, potatoes, peppers and onions, topped with a homemade jumbo biscuit and country style pork sausage gravy in a cast-iron skillet.  What a great way to start the day.

Guilty's Baseball Adventure

Thin Mint is planning a sensational trip to Italy.  Sounds great to me.  I know it's going to be an unforgettable Gastronomic adventure.  What a fantastic vacation she's working on.

I have another trip in mind.  Guilty turns the Big 60 this summer and yet, in many ways I am still a 12 year old boy. I am sure it's no surprise to anyone, I was quite Guiltorious back in 1966. Baseball was my world. Shea Stadium, Connie Mack Stadium and Wrigley Field Field were my sanctuaries.  I loved the Boys of Summer.  I also loved the over indulgence you enjoyed at the ballpark.

To celebrate my milestone birthday, I am planning a Baseball road trip.  We fly to Chicago and enjoy the passion of the Windy City.  From Navy pier to the Gold Coast to Hyde Park, the Second City is city of Fun and adventure. The restaurants are world class. The comedy clubs are awesome and we'll catch a Cubs game or two at Wrigley.

Then we'll drive north to Milwaukee to visit with club members along Lake Michigan. Sharing Guilty Pleasures is always a blast. Then we'll check out the Brewers at Miller Park.  It's spectacular new stadium and an engineering marvel.  Of course, around the seventh inning, we'll slip away and find a German Beer Garden along Lake Michigan.  After savoring some local microbrews, there will be a prearranged Bratwurst tasting or two. In the summertime, Wisconsin has countless Guilty Pleasures waiting for us to enjoy.

With brats in hand, we head west to Minneapolis and root for the Twins in their beautiful new Downtown Ballpark, Target Field.   Along the way, we enjoy great food, an endless local Fish Fry and share stories with club members in the Heartland who enthusiastically tell us Thanks for Living Well.  Funny, that's what people convey to us around the globe.

Guiltorious adventures at the Borgata

Getting a little stir crazy this winter?  We were too!  There are only so many reruns of Breaking Bad that we can endure without buying a chemistry set.  Guilty and the Living Well Gang needed a crazy night out on the town that was exciting and rewarding.  We knew exactly where to go and it's one of our favorite destinations.  The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City.  From the day it opened, it's been our Guilty Oasis. The tables are red hot, the restaurants are incredible, the Guilty Pleasures are endless and the Hotel is gorgeous, No business other than Provence Catering understands your unbridled passion for Adult a more than the Borgata and MGM Resorts International.

Being spoiled at the Borgata is always a certified Guilty Pleasure,  They always know how to treat people right.  Thanks for Living Well.   

Spring is here and Fun's coming on fast.

Do you love the roar of the crowd?  Guilty does!  So does Thin Mint. Why not host a Kentucky Derby Party.  It's a annual celebration that goes well beyond a Mint Julip. The women are fine, the hats are spectacular and the food is awesome.  Fun's on outside and closing fast. Make sure your party catered by Provence  has a photo finish,  Thanks for Living Well.
