A lot of traveling

I apologize for my lack of blog posts in the recent months. I've spent a lot of time traveling and, as a result, haven't made blogging a priority. This doesn't suggest that I haven't been cooking and carrying my share at home. I've actually made some extremely good meals and even had two robust cookouts (Easter and Memorial Day). I've also had my share of food on the road. Although I haven't seen a professional, I'm sure I have some form of addiction to Taco Bell.

The best food I've had on the road came last weekend in Kenosha at Tenuta's. It's a small Italian grocery store that specializes in Italian sausage and other Italian favorites. I was thoroughly impressed with the sausage. It was the best I've ever had.

I also ventured into one of Northwest Wisconsin's best sausage shop - Louie's Fine Meats in Cumberland. I bought a cow tongue that I plan on using to make authentic Mexican tacos with later this summer.

With visitors I've had to pull out some of my classics, especially my famous Italian sausage tortellini with homemade pesto. That's on the menu tonight and I'm very excited because I will be using sausage from Tenuta's.
